CBHT is the flagship station of CBC Television in the Atlantic Time Zone. CBHT broadcasts on terrestrial channel 3 at 100 kW and cable channel 11 in the Halifax metro area. The CBC network schedule, outside of live events, is carried one hour in advance of Toronto on CBHT.

CBHT started broadcasting on December 20, 1954, entered CBC's microwave network in 1958, and began colour programming in 1966. On September 26, 1972, CBHT put its Sydney rebroadcaster CBIT on the air, when CHUM Limited purchased incumbent local station CJCB. CBIT broadcasts on terrestrial channel 5 and local cable channel 3. CBIT had its own newscast until 1991, when it was cancelled and replaced with CBHT's "First Edition".

CBHT eventually covered all of Nova Scotia with rebroadcast transmitters. The tower in the Halifax on Geiser’s Hill (called the CBC tower) is also used by CTV's CJCH-TV, Global's CIHF-TV, most local FM broadcast radio stations and other services. In 2000, its local newscast, "First Edition", was cancelled and replaced with "Canada Now", anchored in Halifax by Norma Lee MacLeod. CBC News at 6 is the latest version of the newscast for Nova Scotia, hosted by Jim Nunn with meteorologist Peter Coade who also does the weather forecast for CBC News at 6 for New Brunswick via Satellite from CBC's studio in Halifax.

During the early 1980s, CBHT was known simply as "Maritimes CBC".

Programs produced at CBHT include "Don Messer's Jubilee", "Street Cents", "Switchback", "Land and Sea", "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" and "".
