CBWT Sign-Off (2006)

This is the sign-off that was used by CBWT-TV, the CBC's station in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, until the network adopted a 24/7 schedule in October 2006.

On October 9, 2006, CBC Television will go 24/7! No more of these sign-offs.

I'm going to miss seeing these sign-offs. It'd be nice if CBC could continue playing the station IDs and "O, Canada" at midnight or something.

At 03:58 it shows some of our tough old guys.... The Nazi's crapped themselves when they saw those guys coming!!

Towards the end of the anthem there is an image of someone scraping ice off a windshield. HA! ; )

@mwmnp25 If CBC's TV disvision dissolves, What will the CBC choose? CTV? A? or a Brazilian network?

[geekgirltv2011]

@mwmnp25 well, only the french version of CBC still signs off at midnight or something like that.

@mwmnp25 I used to watch those sign offs when I was a kid in Winnipeg.

@RetroWinnipeg I saw signoffs for CKWS Kingston, ON and CHEX Peterborough, ON (both affiliates of the CBC) on YouTube, while the CBC owned & operated stations are now 24/7 as of 10/9/06. Do you think 'WS and CHEX will go 24/7 in the near future? And what about the digital transition in Canada? Will Canadian stations play O Canada when the switch to DTV happens?

Any vids of the test card with the random DTMF tones

@mwmnp25 Me too. Doubt we'll see it again though.

@nyr1994 Your grammar is horrible! It's Nazis, not Nazi's.

The CBC station in NB (CBAT) always ran this without a voiceover. Never figured out why.

For someone from the US, all I can say that this is a nice sign-off. I liked the Canadian National Anthem with all the sights of the great White North. I also like the Sky Dome opening and the steam train tranforming into the modern Canadian National locomotive. Well done.
