Thanks for posting this I now know what this 47 was for it turned out that a video I saw on YouTube was an opening of One Life To Live 80's opening and as soon as the video finished playing out came 47 and the title but no time it came on or anything.
If nothing screams John Christopher Burns' design like this, nothing ever will. (And he likely was the creator of the CFMT logo; the proof is in the Balls and Walls-themed CFMT Chinese Journal open!)
Their London repeater (Ch. 69) came on, They picked up Letterman when he moved to CBS and the CFMT logo all happened in '93. I remember they had a huuuuge logo in the top corner of the screen during Letterman that was so annoying, so I started watching letterman on Ch 4 Buffalo
do you have that jingle that went something like...in the night time at the right time yes we got fun,blah blah blah blah blah blah yes we got fun..than they incorperate the names of the shows airing in the song...mariied with childern and murphy brown,designing woman and someone else lol
And I can tell you, that guy STILL does all of the voicework for pretty much every single Portuguese commercial that airs in the Toronto area. He's like, INGRAINED in my childhood memory!!!
These IDs are made by John Christopher Burns who did GFX for CNN and HLN in the States in the '80s and '90s.

Sounds like CFTR's Evelyn Macko from 0:00 to 0:10 and 0:40 to 1:00.

When did they switch to the CFMT boxes logo; '94 or '95?

OMG I remember this I used to sing it out loud to my family when I was 4/5 years old. "You're watching channel 47, cable 444!"

The instrumental version of the jingle was still used well into the late 90s.
