CHCO-TV received a 2020 "Certificate of Recognition" for being a "Champion of Cultural Diversity" from the New Brunswick Multicultural Council for work on programs such as the LJI-funded NBWA: New Brunswickers Want Action, which examines systemic racism in New Brunswick. CHCO-TV was recommended for the award by the Deputy Mayor of Saint Andrews Brad Henderson. Henderson said, "The community and the province of New Brunswick are lucky to have an independent news outlet like CHCO-TV that is willing to provide a platform for important issues and voices in our community.
CBC Atlantic and CBC New Brunswick used CHCO-TV as a news source for a story on a body of a missing woman found on Navy Island near Saint Andrews. The body of woman was discovered by a group of local teens who had kayaked to the island. When RCMP and firefighters arrived on scene to recover the body, CHCO-TV was the only news outlet at the site covering the event. We offered our video footage to CBC for use in their news broadcasts. CBC New Brunswick used CHCO-TV's video footage for two different newscasts, and CBC Atlantic used CHCO-TV's video footage for one newscast.
