Following a failed 2007 bid for the multicultural licences in Calgary and Edmonton, which were awarded to Rogers, Multivan announced an agreement to sell CHNM to Rogers in July of that year. The sale was approved by the CRTC on March 31, 2008, and was finalized on April 30, 2008. With Rogers' recent acquisition of Citytv station CKVU-TV (channel 10) and the resulting sale of religious station CHNU-TV (channel 66, formerly branded as "Omni.10") to S-VOX, the Omni Television brand moved to CHNM on September 1, 2008. CHNM migrated its operations into sister station CKVU's studio facilities at 180 West 2nd Avenue (near the Vancouver Olympic Village) on September 7, 2010. CHNM won its first-ever Jack Webster Foundation Award for Excellence in Chinese Language Reporting, for a multi-part feature on the topic of earthquake preparedness. Along with carrying local newscasts, several independently produced magazine and entertainment programs are created in-house as well. Formerly these programs include "German Today" (Germany), "Hola Que Tal" (Spanish), "Chai Time" (Punjabi), "Mandarin Magazine" (Mandarin Chinese) and "World Beats" (an English language world music video program). Since the station discontinued airing syndicated reruns of popular English-language program "Two and a Half Men" at the beginning of the 2015–16 season, there is no American programming currently airing regularly on the station, which now restricts its schedule to multicultural programming and documentaries. CHNM-DT presently broadcasts 12½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 2½ hours each weekday); the station does not produce newscasts on Saturdays or Sundays. The station airs daily newscasts in Cantonese, Mandarin and Punjabi. The station also produced Korean and Tagalog newscasts but these have since been discontinued. CHNM's newscasts were known as "Channel M News" from 2003 to 2008. During those years, the station also had a reciprocal agreement with CTV Vancouver station, which allowed the two stations to share news resources. The station's newscasts were rebranded as "Omni News" in September 2008 following the approval of its sale to Rogers, and its news sharing agreement with CIVT was also terminated. The station also produced weekly phone-in programs in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Punjabi under Multivan ownership; these programs were cancelled after the station was rebranded as Omni.
