CHAT-TV (analogue channel 6) was a television station in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, last affiliated with Citytv. Owned by the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group, the station had studios at 10 Boundary Road SE in the nearby town of Redcliff, and its transmitter was located near the Trans-Canada Highway and Range Road 80, northwest of Redcliff.
CHAT signed on the air on September 14, 1957, by Monarch Broadcasting Company Ltd. as a CBC Television affiliate serving Medicine Hat. It was then acquired by Jim Pattison Broadcasting in 2000 when it acquired the assets of Monarch. In 2008, CHAT became affiliated with Canwest's E! television system, since CICT (Global Calgary) was also available on cable systems in Medicine Hat; but when E! collapsed in 2009, Pattison transferred CHAT's affiliation to Rogers Media's Citytv system, adopting the scheduling grid of CKAL. In June 2025, the station ceased operations due to financial troubles by its parent.
This station also operated rebroadcasters in Pivot (CHAT-TV-1, channel 4) and Maple Creek, Saskatchewan (CHAT-TV-2, channel 6).
