CBET sign-on

A sign-on for CBET, Windsor, Ontario's CBC affiliate. Features some shots of local imagery from the Windsor area (what looks like the Ambassador Bridge(?) and a US-Canadian plaza near the Detroit River). Originally saw this one uploaded to YouTube some time ago, but the original file seems to have disappeared...

(01:12) you would never find in America.

Looks like some citizenship swearing-in ceremony to me... or some sort of meeting---both things you'd find in the US (the only things in the video montage I can think off off-hand not found here are the parliament session footage, what looks like people celebrating Canada Day, and, far as I know, the military officials carrying both US and Canadian flags at a riverfront plaza/park...).

@eekoutasignal They do, and I can still see it if I must.

@RetroToledo Sadly, not so much anymore in Ohio. Time Warner dumped it from their systems around 2009. I think Buckeye Cablesystem in Toledo is the only operator NW Ohio still offering it.

@altfactor That's really the big difference here (since the station is in the Detroit area technically).

[RetroToledo]

@altfactor That's pretty true (CBET also typically dumps out of certain US-related stuff the CBC may air as well).

[RetroToledo]

@altfactor A lot of cable systems in Michigan and Ohio do offer this station anyway.

@RickyMA1988 We would never find Somali's getting sworn in as citizens? Have you ever been to Minneapolis, MN?

Racist!!!!!!!!

Note too that the voice-over announcer talks about "a uniquely Canadian television network takes to the air".

In contrast to CTV, Global, CHCH, and "A", all of which have program schedules consisting mainly of U.S. imports.

@flamebird30 Maybe the U.S. and Canadian flags sequence was edited-in the anthem footage specifically for CBET Windsor, since it's across the river from Detroit and that it's coverage area (and some of its viewers) are in "The States".
