@RetroWinnipeg Mine is Calgary...i have some clips of it...i am certain this is from 2000 or 1999 because of the logo.

Must have been technical difficulties. The Calgary station had a sign-off sequence around this time before going 24/7 in a few years

@Tungzout yes city tv is in winnipeg this station is it.
-
City TV = Rogers owned, CTV 2 = Bell media owned. Isn't City TV STILL in Winnipeg?
-
it looks like they were having video problems and the station had to go to colour bars
it's cool
-
@Tungzout the windsor A is still on the air
-
@daamits no it is still a citytv
-
ctv2 still has this color bar thing. I was watching last month and all of a sudden it just signed off. It brought me back to the old times though :)

CHMI is no longer being called Citytv anymore, as the CRTC approved the sale of this station to Bell Media. It will be rebranded "CTV Two" effective September 1.

They have my fave show! lol
Very strange. Most of today's "A" is crying (VERY) poor right now.
Where are the late night infomercials to help fund all the A's?
They were struggling to make money then, and they are struggling to make money now.
Windsor's "A" is gone forever at the end of August 2009. )-:
Licence not being renewed!

Actually, this A-Channel became Citytv in 2005. The A stations currently owned by CTVglobemedia have been unprofitable for many years, unlike this Winnipeg station. And this station now has Paid Programming overnight.
