Why is the Telethon broadcast different in Cape Breton than the show on Mainland NS, NB & PEI?
There are two programs that broadcast simultaneously on CTV because the staff of CTV their family members and friends donate their time to produce the telethon. Viewers on Mainland Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island as well as viewers across Canada watching on StarChoice and Bell ExpressVu watch the programme originating from the CTV studios in Halifax with live segments from the CTV studios in Moncton. The staff & family of the CTV station in Sydney produce a programme broadcast to Cape Breton Island. Both shows celebrate the roots of the Telethon and showcase great Maritime talent from around the region. For a detailed breakdown by area, station, and time, check listings.
