I'm thinking that the CBC logo rushing at the screen at the start of the commercial could very well have frightened the shit out of a few kids back then. Kind of like the Viacom 'V Of Doom', but faster and looking like a pizza!
And I bet they didn't remind you they were 'Your Olympic Network' by always keeping the Olympics symbol in the corner of the screen during all its shows, like a certain American network!
I don't think that's going to happen...CTV will use their own personalities to avoid simsubbing on numerous cable TV providers, as well as Shaw Direct and Bell TV.

At 0:03, you can clearly hear someone in the background saying "Just Around The Block".

Yup. We're the only olympic host nation that has never won a gold medal on home turf. Sad, really. Here's to changing all that in Vancouver.

false, Yugoslavia didn't win a gold medal as host in the 1984 winter olympics.

I wish someone could post the full length of the opening ceremony of the '76 games, if such a vid exists.

CBC does that too prior to the start of their Olympic coverage.

And probably expect CTV to begin promoting Vancouver 2010 the same way by September 2008.

CTV probably wishes they could just simulcast the NBC coverage, lol.
