Sable Island: CBC makes history, broadcasting live from island

CBC's Information Morning made history Thursday 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.
