Transmission to be affected early Thursday morning
We have a head’s up for viewers of CBC Television, should you happen to be watching early Thursday morning.
Our crews will be doing some maintenance work (weather depending) tomorrow from about 5 a.m.
We will not have an over-the-air signal for a period that may be as short as 15 minutes, or as long as two hours.
However, this will not (repeat, not) affect people who get CBC via cable or satellite. Only local broadcast will be affected.
If the weather is inclement, the work will be rescheduled to Friday.
Thanks for your patience!

Project Restoration, and other weekend highlights
CBC Newfoundland and Labrador’s Summer Series has a show tonight that’s key to the heart of many of our communities: how to preserve the buildings that help define who we are. Angela Antle hosts Project Restoration, airing at 8:30 p.m. in Newfoundland, and at 8 in most of Labrador.
Watch the video above to get a sense of what to expect.
Meanwhile … There’s plenty else to catch this weekend on CBC. Here are some highlights:
Saturday and Sunday, 6 a.m. to 9:30 NT
Angela brings WAM listeners plenty every weekend. Here’s the head’s up sent to members of the Galoot of a Culture group on Facebook. (Want to join? Please do!)
*This weekend *on WAM, we’ll go “To There and Back” through the magic of radio: with the fourth annual Fogo Island Punt Race and Fogo Island poet Roy Dwyer. Chefs from the George House Heritage B&B will share the kitchen secrets of DILDO, we’ll roisin our bow for the first annual “Feile Seamus Creagh” celebrating trad music, Storyteller Dale Jarvis will chat up the huge Canadian Storytelling Conference happening in St. John’s next week, Iceberg Alley authors Stephen Bruneau and Kevin Redmond will share their Ice hunting adventures with us and we’ll talk to a British reality TV company looking for a polite Newfoundland family with strong values to take on two spoiled British teens (shudder).
Saturday on Radio 2 at 10:30 a.m. NT, Saturday on Radio 1 at 5:35 p.m. NT
This week: Hear more of the Sparks literary festival, featuring some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s finest writers.
Sunday at 12:30 p.m. NT
This week, a repeat episode of Politics of the Pelt, an in-depth look at the ever-controversial seal hunt.
Sunday at 4:35 NT (4:05 in most of Labrador)
This week: Last weekend James Hurley was back in St. John’s to perform at the jazz festival, but last summer he returned from the New England Conservatory in Boston to perform a solo piano recital for the Tuckamore Chamber Music Festival at the Kirk in St. John’s. An alumni of this festival, James enjoys exploring a wide range of musical styles and we’ll hear his distinctive interpretation of Bach and Rachmaninoff.
