CBC Television ID (70s-86)

[Fragglevision]

CBC? THIS IS SPARTA!

[lamarr912]

I like the music to it... What is the music?

[Steve20069]

I remember when CBC had no video news, just a man reading the news for 15 mins, bring thats back, let Canada think again, not show you how to think on a issue

[bfbjr]

@Steve20069 I agree. I grew up in Upstate NY, but CBC was always my favorite channel. CKWS out of Kingston, Ontario.

[MarkNF82]

I've managed to find another copy of it, much cleaner on tape. I have posted it here:

[MadHighway]

That's so SOOTHING. Ahh.

[TheFabDawg]

trippy.....

[tomtrh]

Does anyone out there have one of these that can stretch to about 10 seconds?

[JHollowayNetwork]

first launched in December 1974.

[leafyutube]

Holy crap! I haven't seen this in years.

[heterodoxphilomath]

you can already buy the exploding pizza logo - i've got one, in fact...americans always compliment me on that shirt with "that great geometric art design thingy"

[oxjr]

The cbc needs money then I have a great idea... reprint the exploding pizza blue and orange tshirts and sell them at americian apperal prices. All of us aging

hippsters will buy them in droves... hell it looks so cool that you could even export them (didnt this win a tonne of graphic art awards when it came out?)

[zekepig]

Brilliant idea, ox! CBC had some cult classics while it was the exploding C (I'm not convinced that pizzas explode like that though).

[myunclesnephew]

my brother has that exact t-shirt. they are available, you just haven't found them yet

[supersocco]

already been done

[roquefortfiles]

My God, I hear this and it instantly transports me back to when we had no cable. You actually had to get up and walk across the room to see what was on, then go back and sit in your chair. Or get back up to fix the rabbit ears.

[paulmercy]

Me too. For decades, we only had two channels and this was one of them. I don't know how we managed to get by, because neither channel featured hours of tattooed drunks with plastic breasts vomiting their way through a contrived competition so that an aging "rock star" can ram his grey tongue down their throats... which is now a TV viewing staple.

8^)

[InsertName125]

Yeah. I only had 3 channels and could just sit down and be entertained. Now I have so many that I've deleted 1/2 of them & still go to youtube looking for 25 year old station i.d.s because it's more entertaining that tv I pay for. I only pay because it comes free with the cable modem I need to watch youtube. Depressing! So's the fact that so many tunes and movies out now are lame remakes of good ideas from decades past. The entertainment industry has stopped trying.

[Yakovlievich]

Strange how television was better with limited choices of channels.

[wtf66611]

@Yakovlievich I totally agree.

[Yakovlievich]

@wtf66611 I completely forgot that I posted this remark until you replied!

[MrLarrylocken]

@paulmercy was the other channel chch 11 from hamilton or cjoh ottawa?

[xcalibur709]

what happened to the Cable 9 ID?

[VancouverTVGuy]

The jingle on this ID, as noted in the description, was also used for CBC Radio until that jingle was moved over to the TV ID in around 1976, replacing the original three-note CBC TV ID jingle. A different synthesized jingle was then used for CBC Radio up until the 1986 reimaging of the CBC IDs for both radio and TV.

[POWERSAW1980]

Very soothing music. Two things CBC was and is known for, children's programming and great sports especially hockey.

[wilkes85]

Awesome. The best quality one on here!! WHOOO!

[millionetc]

Robert Kramer's 'The Gem' truly is one, I could watch this piece of motion graphic and audio all day.

[mrceleb2006]

Actually, it was Burton, not Robert, Kramer, eh!

[wilkes85]

Nice quality exploding pizza, from the days when CBC was watchable.

[88HJS]

This ID premiered in 1974.
