The CKND Friday Night Movie intro (1982)

[nardpuncher]

I remember in the early 80s they'd play "Twilight Zone" and "Perry Mason" after the midnight movie. Sigh...memories! Thanks for posting!

That music sounds like 80s funk.

With all due respect to CKND and CanWest (and of course RetroWinnipeg), this movie intro sucks.

Once you get earlier into the station's history, you'll understand how cheap everything becomes...

I saw a couple CKND idents from the late 1970s. One had the 9/12 logo spinning.

[RetroWinnipeg]

On YouTube, or though other sources?

[tvlondon]

Saw them on Global when Izzy Asper died.

It was interesting how the words CKND could perfectly fit on that 9/12 logo, which was what that ribbon design was originally meant for (notice the cut-off points on the logo in the video above).

Hey, that was just the technology available back then.

@lockenjr Actually, Retrontario is the publisher of the Canadian youth magazine "The Magazine" in Toronto. I did meet him in 1998 back when I won a trip to Toronto from his publication. Beyond that, we just different people with retro accounts specific to our own regions...
