City TV Toronto Channel 57 Cable 7 Not-So-Great Movies 1985

[AnalogRocks]

City TV influenced a generation of Toronto's kids. The style of the news, the overall attitude of the station and stuff like the NOT so great movies, speakers corner, Ed's night party, Silverman helps, Colin Vaughan, Jo Jo Chinto & Harold Hosein.

Watching Fashion TV when you were 12 and NOT for the fashion.

City should bring those back.

@rico7738 Citytv is owned by rogers now. All it's greatness and coolness is gone. Since CTV and Rogers split CItytv and Much the programming has been very standard.

@toiletholder Yeah, I realized that Rogers bought them out a few years ago. Their biggest competitor, CTV, suddenly became their sister station for a short period. Hard to believe they now run CP24. I used to enjoy watching the rebroadcasts of CityPulse News from the 80s, but those are gone too. And you're right, they're unique quality and character is a thing of the past, especially now that they broadcast programs from the big three American stations.

SO awesome. I remember watching the Not So Great Movies when I was a kid, and my father walking in groaning at what the movie actually was.
