Compass
Compass is the former name of the supper hour newscast on CBC Television in Prince Edward Island. When the newscast was shrunk to a half hour several years ago, it was renamed "The Compass portion of Canada Now" and soon thereafter all on-air references to Compass gave way to simply "Canada Now."
In January of 2006, the show was again renamed, this time to CBC News at Six in Prince Edward Island] leaving the second half-hour of national and international news with the old "Canada Now" name. Interestingly, when the news is preempted for some reason and airs at a time other than 6:00 p.m., the name is changed to simply "CBC News in Prince Edward Island."
The news is presented by Bruce Rainnie, with weather (and local colour) from Kevin "Boomer" Gallant.
I am a member of a small but determined group of rebels who insist on keeping the Compass name alive. We even have T-shirts for sale if you'd like to join us.
