CBC 1993 Ident

[lastgarlicfinger]

How about this one animation with a bunch of worms wriggling about and the CBC symbol fades in superimposed over the worms? Seen that?

[lastgarlicfinger]

Does anyone know what this animation that played during CBC Kids program is called? The one where a green alien plays on a swingset, laughs, gets into a spaceship and goes into space, followed by a CBC Nova Scotia ID? If so, where can I find it?

@lastgarlicfinger Wish I could tell you, but I don't know.

[lastgarlicfinger]

@JBird30761 Whoops. I figured it would have played in London as well.

@lastgarlicfinger I think I may have something that fits your description on an old Betamax tape of mine that has shit-loads of CBC Playground indents and the like recorded from a New Brunswick station in 1995. Once I finally get it converted to DVD, I'll be sure to upload the indents to YouTube on a separate channel.

[lastgarlicfinger]

@Lumpytoast The worms wriggling or the little green alien on the swingset?

[lastgarlicfinger]

@Lumpytoast The worms wriggling or the little green alien on the swingset? When can you get them converted to DVD?

[Lumpytoast]

@lastgarlicfinger Sadly, I have no idea. I'll have to find a local place that converts Betamax to DVD. :c

[lastgarlicfinger]

@Lumpytoast May I suggest Sight & Sound in Fredericton?

London had a CBC station?!!

[SCRIPPSCAST2007]

That would be the station feature here... CBLN -- though its mostly a rebroadcast of CBLT Toronto!!! To be honest, you're not alone... I never realized until reading about it on Wikipedia that CBEFT in Windsor is a rebroadcast of CBOFT Ottawa which in turn is a rebroadcast CBLFT Toronto and has been so since 2000!!!

[JBird30761]

@SCRIPPSCAST2007 True that, it's a rebroadcast station of CBLT in Southwestern Ontario (except Windsor and Essex County).

[jjovereats]

@SCRIPPSCAST2007 London is just the name of two or more cities.

[keiichiudagawa]

past London CBC station is CFPL. now CBLN.

[JBird30761]

@adamgomori90 CFPL was London's only TRUE CBC station, until the station disaffiliated from the CBC on September 4, 1988. CBLN is a rebroadcaster of CBLT in Toronto.

[jjovereats]

@adamgomori90 That is, the one in Ontario.

[UniversalTVfan1994]

London, Ontario. Not to be confused with UK's London.

[JBird30761]

BTW, I should mention that the house you see at the end of this clip is the Eldon House, the oldest residence in London, Ontario, built in 1834, and is now a living history museum.

[babygiraffe123]

I just saw this ident/jingle, a few minutes ago, at the end of King Of Kensington. Only difference was, it was a lighter coloured blue background and there was no voice-over.

[Furbydude05]

i saw it on CHEX

[JBird30761]

I think that was probably CBC International Sales, a distributor for programs produced by the CBC not airing on CBC stations.

[wwwideawake]

...wow, this sends shivers down my spine...

[tvlondon]

CBLN never really was a standalone station, as it repeated everything from CBLT Toronto except IDs like this and some commercials.

[someguy23475]

I believe the only standalone CBC stations in Ontario are Toronto, Ottawa, and Windsor. If Windsor wasn't right next to Detroit, I would bet that station would merely be another repeater for Toronto.
