[SWhit62030]

Is retro still on You Tube?

[SWhit62030]

Does anyone know what happened to Vintage Canada and his videos?

[RetroWinnipeg]

@SWhit62030 He's now known as retronewfoundland

[burkebmad]

i love the guy in the snowstorm scraping his windshield.

[kyyzurri]

im looking for the CBC sign off that had some choral group (you didnt see them) singing the anthem...I always loved that rendition....

[philipnova798]

I had a similar version of a cassette tape which had Godzilla vs. Mothra. I ended up taping over it sadly. But damn does this make me wish I hadn't have done that.

The only difference was that it was in Nova Scotia, where I live.

[g4tech]

i loved this

i would watch it and listen for the phone dialing also

[SetsunaTheAngel]

This brings back memories. I live in detroit and I Would always see this late at night. Thanks for posting man!

[Doppelganger399]

I miss this for reasons I do not understand many a Saturday spent waking up to it after falling asleep watching the HNIC late game.

[somewhatlongdong]

is Canada Now still on the air?

[wuzzlevideos]

Not anymore.

[GateStudios]

@wuzzlevideos CBOT's 6pm newscast is now known as CBC News: Ottawa at 6pm. There is also a 5pm newscast called Ottawa at 5.

When those guys paint that picture...

..That is still on the French CBC in Edmonton, after it plays O-Canada then goes to RADIO-CANADA test pattern

[joshyboy1983]

"painting the landscape" of canada. THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[somewhatlongdong]

i love watching this sign-off, thanks retrowinnipeg

[SWhit62030]

Are there any videos of the sign off for Windsor, either as CBET or when Channel 9 was CKLW?

[excelsior27]

Great sign off. The remix of "O Canada!" is magnificent.

[stevecurwin]

Sure is

Canada is the most respected country in the world

[Jerseysson27]

I was in canada years ago, it is a nice place, especially Niagra falls and toronto. I pray that I come back one day.

[iheartdreamboat]

...why is dave devall doing cbc sign offs?!

[RetroWinnipeg]

Try Bob Boving...

[iheartdreamboat]

no, that's dave devall.

[somewhatlongdong]

of course that is not dave duvall you tool! he works for CTV!

[RemoteMemory]

@RetroWinnipeg

They almost all sound alike

[g4tech]

what about the phone dial tones you hear about 20 times a hour

[keiichiudagawa]

Takako Uehara!

[crazyrabbits]

I remember watching the Toronto version of this as recently as three years ago. If I remember, it was different to this. You saw a shot of that Canada painting backlit, and light was shining through the white dots. There was also an explanation of what cities in Ontario carry the station, and where you can reach the Toronto office.

[Dan1988A]

@crazyrabbits: That's only for CBLT, which does most of Ontario. The Canada painting backlit that you remember was an earlier version of the same shot. (The CBC logo in this case looks like something from a "Da Vinci's Inquest" endtag.) CBOT and CBET don't do the rundown of Ontario, since it's difference coverage areas (CBOT is Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, and western Québec; CBET is Windsor, ON, and Detroit, MI.)

[wmbrown6]

I.I.N.M., CBC's tone was set at 937.5 Hz.

[PrettyBrg]

lol i remember watching this when I was like 8

[philipnova798]

I saw a version of this sign-Off after a taped Godzilla movie (Godzilla vs. Mothra I taped it sometime around 2004/05 maybe erlier)

[alymonkee]

what the f#$%

[dsmo]

CBC is 24 hours now. I remember watching the end of this video late at night after a movie or something. Awesome imagery, greatly captures the beauty and spirit of your country.

- Dave in Michigan

[davewriter100]

@dsmo I don't mind that 24 hour stations will play late night movies or repeats of news broadcasts or talkshows. Something that will keep us entertained or informed. But if they're just going to fill up the time with endless infomercials designed to scam people and take their money with false claims, then they might as well go back to programming 20 hours a day, and play digital music to fill in the rest of the time. At least then, we will see sign offs and national athem films again.

[folsom90]

OH CANADA!

[mezasalvador]

Very good the CBC Manitoba signoff, but why the CBC logo instead of the test card?

[cavenba]

The colour bar would come after the CBC Radio-Canada logo as always just CBC Ottawa likes to show it longer than others.

[radamail]

Now that's a cool way to eventually transition to the test pattern.

[lugnuts6]

hey, anyway to get that CBC Television end tag as a screen saver ...that would look so COOOOOL when im away from the computer

[travelplus1]

Does the video before the final sign-off give the control room staff time to disconnect the remote transmitters?

[ZackT618]

This sign off announcer sounds eeriely like the guy who did the WNCT-TV station in Greenville NC in 1998 sign off announcement!

[pookerville]

Now that CBC is now broadcasting 24 hours, this has become a rare commodity! It won't be long before Radio-Canada goes 24/7!
