Retrontario - Yours to Rediscover

Here's a full sign-off from CFTO Toronto 9.

I finally found the full one

From days gone by, an Elwy outro and sign-off from 1979

Found on the very end of a dusty old tape from a Scarborough thrift store.

From the early 90s YTV rebroadcasts, the classic Canadian children's show.

Everyone's favorite early morning religious show for kids.

Finally I found a short snippet of the early morning children's show HARRIGAN... I'm sure many thought this was a figment of of their imagination.

Almost impossible to think when YTV ran this in '89 it was only 10 years old... looks like Martian TV now its 30-something!

Another colourful VCR from JVC

I still prefer VCRs to PVR or TiVo... who is going to be uploading this era's commercials in 20 years???

Anyone know the name of the famous Canadian actress in this one?

Uncle June is a Beta man!

Neat little travelogue in gorgeous Technicolor that TCM runs from time to time. Vox by James A. FitzPatrick, of course!

Its so easy to be part of it all!

Chilled out downtempo intro to one of the many industrial films made about Ontario in the 70s

Pleasant tourism spot from the era before "Yours to Discover". Sadly, I can't see the province trying to sell itself like this anymore.

Dad is so lit up he can't fix his son's plastic General Lee toy. Sad.

That haunting theme says all that needs to be said

Truly disturbing and memorable PSA. I am shocked that this one doesn't still run as it has not dated at all.

Vintage PSA

Great clip of Dar Robinson's CN Tower stunts, hosted by Chuck Norris. Comments turned off due to a staggering lack of anything remotely approaching...

Feels like yesterday

Here's the opening credits of Fred Penner's Place from April, 1988.

WUTV Buffalo

A longer version of the "Great Entertainer" instrumental theme.

WUTV mid-80s at its best!

From the glory days of WUTV 29
