CKND - The Great Spelling Bee promo (1989)

Stan Kubicek hosts The Great Spelling Bee in this 1989 promo. The Great Spelling Bee also had a local Saskatchewan version, with Kubicek as host, that aired on STV (noticing a pattern?). Followed by a brief station ID with promo voiceover.

I like that CKND ident with the fall leaves.

In addition to the 1989 CBC sign-off, do you have any CKND sign-offs and sign-ons?

Considering that CKND has been 24/7 since 1980 (that includes paid programming today), I would not have any CKND sign-offs anyways.

Do you have a full episode of "the Great Spelling Bee?"

I guarantee I used to watch that when I was younger.
