In November 2014, CBHT moved to a new {{convert|44,000|sqft|m2|0|adj=on}} facility on Chebucto Road in Halifax, located inside a former [[Hudson's Bay (retailer)|Hudson's Bay]] department store, joined by CBC's Halifax radio stations, which had previously been located in the [[CBC Radio Building (Halifax)|CBC Radio Building]].<ref name = "New studios 2014">

}}</ref> Originally, plans called for the new facility to completely replace the larger Bell Road studios, which were to close at the end of the 2014–15 television season. Despite this, Studio 1 at Bell Road remained in operation for some time, accommodating productions which were too complex to be produced at Chebucto Road, particularly ''[[This Hour Has 22 Minutes]]''. The Bell Road Studio building was finally demolished in November 2020 as part of the [[Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre]] redevelopment project.<ref>{{cite web▼

}}</ref> CBIT had its own newscast (called ''Cape Breton Report'') until 1990, when it was cancelled and replaced with CBHT's ''First Edition''. Since then, CBIT was CBHT's full-time repeater station in that market.<ref name="CBIT-TV history" /> As part of the CBC's transition to digital transmission, CBIT was shut down on July 31, 2012 — along with the rest of CBHT's repeaters — resulting in CBC Television abandoning over-the-air service in those markets.<ref name="CBHT History from CCF" />
