CIVT Victoria bureau chief Ed Watson as the station's main anchors. On August 25, 2008, production for CHEK's newscasts migrated from Victoria to CHAN's facility in Burnaby with the addition of a new virtual set, and a launch of a new newscast, CHEK News: Island 30 – which focused on news stories outside Victoria. The program was retooled months later into a newsmagazine and renamed to simply Island 30. Longtime CHAN anchor Tony Parsons joined CHEK on March 15, 2010, as anchor of CHEK's 10:00 p.m. newscast; Parsons had earlier stepped down as anchor at CHAN after a 35-year run as anchor of its News Hour supper hour broadcast on December 16, 2009. In April 2010, CHEK entered into a news share agreement with the CBC, in which the station and CBC Television's Vancouver O&O CBUT would share news content, staff and resources. Parsons also joined the CBC to anchor CBUT's 90-minute early evening newscast, CBC News: Vancouver, resulting in him flying to Victoria after that program to anchor CHEK's 10:00 p.m. newscast. A simulcast of the 6:00 p.m. half-hour of CBC News: Vancouver was also added to CHEK's schedule on that date. On June 15, 2012, Parsons relinquished his duties on the 10:00 p.m., while remaining lead anchor of the 6:00 p.m. half-hour of the CBUT newscast; a rotation of anchors and reporters temporarily replaced Parsons as 10:00 p.m. anchor. Long time reporter Stacy Ross was named anchor of CHEK News at 5:00 and 6:30, after the resignation of Jim Beatty. In October 2015, former CTV and Global News International correspondent Ben O'Hara-Byrne joined the station, as they launched CHEK News at 6, which O'Hara-Byrne was hired to anchor the 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. news. In 2018, former prime time CHEK anchor Scott Fee returned to the company as News Director. Fee set out to renew and restructure CHEK News. In his first year, Fee oversaw the design and installation of a new upgraded set, new cameras, and made some fresh personnel changes. In 2019, Fee recruited Joe Perkins from CTV Vancouver Island to anchor the now hour-long 6:00 newscast. The same year, CHEK reporter Kori Sidaway was brought on as the new face to anchor the weekend news. In 2021, CHEK carved out a new role by bringing in Rob Shaw, a longtime Vancouver Sun legislative columnist and reporter, as the station's first political correspondent. The same year,
