I think it might've been more 1982 now that I think about it.

Citytv belongs on channel 79 not 57.

There were a couple of different versions of Theme From Rocky that they used. I don't know if they ever used the Bill Conti one, but they did use the Maynard Ferguson version for quite a while, well into the late 80s, if not 90s.

I think the move to 11 had taken place in late 1989 early 1990

Anyone have a vintage CityPulse open?

Oh wait, it couldn't have been 1984... March 16 and 17 were not on Wednesday and Thursday that year. Probably 1983.

According to Wikipedia, Citytv switched frequencies from channel 79 to channel 57 in 1983. Are you sure this is from 1984?

Also, does anyone remember when CityPulse at 10:00 moved to 11:00?
