A fire in the basement of the CBC building in Fredericton Thursday morning forced the cancellation of the local morning show.
Fire crews arrived on the scene just after 4 a.m. There were no reports of injuries.
Terry Seguin, host of Information Morning in Fredericton, said the fire has been dealt with but that it generated a lot of smoke and a strong odour.
"They had fans going when I got there to try and get the smell out, but that was going to take a long time, so they thought it would be best for us not to do the show this morning," Seguin said.
CBC Saint John is providing morning radio programming for listeners in Fredericton.
Gary Arsenault, a CBC manager in Fredericton, said the fire had a major impact on the St. Thomas University school of journalism program in the basement of the building.
He said there was substantial smoke damage to CBC's television operation and that could have an impact on the CBC News at Six.
Arsenault said CBC Radio should be back in operation by this afternoon.
