Sable Island: CBC makes history, broadcasting live

Sable Island: CBC makes history, broadcasting live

CBC's Information Morning made history this morning, broadcasting live for the first time from Sable Island, located 300 kilometres off the coast of Nova Scotia.

After keeping a close eye on the weather over the last couple of days, conditions were favourable Wednesday to get a CBC Nova Scotia crew to Halifax's most remote neighbourhood: Sable Island.

Don Connolly is hosted Information Morning live from Sable Island this morning, something no one has ever done before.

He's part of a five-person team from CBC Nova Scotia spending a planned 36 hours on the island.

They arrived Wednesday afternoon, a day earlier than originally scheduled. The variable weather on Sable makes exact planning difficult.

Stay tuned to CBC Television, CBC Radio One and www.cbc.ca/ns for the latest on Sable Island coverage.
