Thanks for finding this!!! Brings back memories.

@Retrontario The version they used was Maynard Ferguson's which is far superior (in my opinion) to Conti's version. For "masterpiece" they used Grover Washington Jr's cover for the opening. For the closing I seem to vaguely remember them sampling the instrumental parts of the Temptation's version. Thanks to this video I know the name of this piece of music. The only one I am missing is the disco-y cover of (what sounds like to me) Bill Conti's "Redemption." If anyone has it let me know!

Hey, this is awsome!

Most definitely was Maynard Ferguson's version.
That open you saw was from 1975, and likely was dubbed over. Most likely Citytv no longer has the rights to play the Ferguson version and just uses the Conti version.

He is also a prolific writer of music that one hears on television and other media. Check it out at his web site shawbiz. com

CFTO was known for using a drum theme back in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
-
in that case, that would've been maynard ferguson's version, right?
although in the retrospective clips city aired during the week before their move to dundas square, they showed one old "citypulse" intro (probably from the late '70s) that used the slower "gotta fly now" (which i assume--and please correct me if i'm wrong--would be the bill conti version)...

oh, yeah, i remember that...i think glen cole (God bless him) was the only one who actually called gord "gordon" on the air... :)
