Compass is a 60-minute local CBC television news program based in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Bruce Rainnie replaced Younker as the show's permanent host in 2003, and announced on 23 February 2017, that he would be departing Compass at the end of April.
Younker continued as sole anchor of the PEI-specific half from Charlottetown, with a national program following at 6:30PM local time, presented by Ian Hanomansing from the network's Vancouver studios.
In January 2010, CBC News: Maritimes at 5:30 was cancelled and replaced with a 5:30 p.m. edition of Compass, effectively creating a 90-minute program.
In October 2008, the program won a Gemini award for its coverage of a major ice storm earlier that year.
