The television series ''[[Aliens in America]]'' and ''[[Life Unexpected]]'' also made use of [[Cambie Secondary School]] in the northern part of the city.

Vancouver International Airport on Richmond's Sea Island has also been featured in numerous films and television series, commonly standing in for [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport]] (as it does in ''[[Code Name: The Cleaner|The Cleaner]]'' and ''[[Dead Like Me]]''). It is also featured as stand-ins for other airports in films such as ''[[Final Destination (film)|Final Destination]]'', ''[[The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (film)|The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants]]'', ''[[The L Word]]'', ''[[The Lizzie McGuire Movie]]'', ''[[Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer]]'' and ''[[Are We There Yet?

The Aerospace Technology Campus of BCIT, located just next to [[Vancouver International Airport]], was used as a military academy mess hall for the live-action prequel series for the popular console game ''[[Halo 4]]'' in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''. In addition, many other films, such as ''[[Rise of the Planet of the Apes]]'' and ''[[This Means War (film)|This Means War]]'', were filmed there due to the directors taking a liking to the cement structure of the building, which makes for very official-looking sets.

Richmond serves as the Vancouver headquarters for the [[Fairchild Media Group]] which broadcasts Cantonese and Mandarin television channels from [[Aberdeen Centre]]. Their channels include [[Fairchild TV]], [[Fairchild TV 2]], and [[Talentvision]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fairchildtv.com/contact.php台/|title=Contact Us|website=Fairchild TV}}</ref>
