CBH-FM has been the originating station of one local program, Connections[1] with Olga Milosevich.[2] The final episode of Connections aired on June 22, 2012. The program highlighted upcoming cultural events in the Maritimes as well as a wide range of music from the region. This program was able to air primarily because of a gap on the national CBC Music schedule in Atlantic Canada, since some Saturday afternoon network programs are timed to air live in both the Atlantic and Eastern time zones. CBN-FM in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador is the only other station to air local programming of this type, however in that case the program is shared with the local CBC Radio One station, whereas Connections was exclusive to CBC Music.
