Broadcasting live from underneath Saskatchewan (Y2K)

<< The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation will be sending an on-air host and technician to an isolated Saskatchewan transmitter site complete with fallout shelter for New Year's Eve in case Y2K problems cause a major breakdown in communications.

The site, near Watrous, used to function as the home of CBC radio for the Prairies before CBC Saskatchewan was moved to Regina after 1947. The fallout shelter was built several years later to protect staff should a nuclear attack be launched at Canada.

On Jan. 31, two people will be dispatched to the now-unstaffed site to broadcast survival information in case telephone lines and satellite communications from Regina, which is about 200 kilometres southwest from Watrous, break down. >>

Morning Lorne,

At least you will be able to get the CBC news with your squab pie. (Pigeon, eh? ... I had to look that one up)

LOL!
