CBC-1990 CBMT Extended Retro SignOn

[@kirmussaudio7578]

Great time growing up in Montreal! Great souvenirs!

[@pauljohn8433]

This sign on looks back at the history of CBC radio and TV, and in Montreal the history of CBMT (channel 6, cable 5). Also shown in the clips has some significant events from Canada, the US and the world.

[@gregsells8549]

7:55 Canada's oldest TV station would be CBMT's francophone counterpart, CBFT 2, which was bilingual until CBMT launched two years later.

When I look at The Plouffe Family they remind me of the Bauers on Guiding Light. They came to America from Germany in 1937 before WW II. When the show debuted in 1952 after 15 years on Radio they were the longest running generational family. When it went off the air it spanned Five Generations. Also Teen 65 was based on American Bandstand probably, and Peter Jennings hosted the show (RIP). Lorne Greene also played a Lawyer in the movie version of peyton place and played john reynolds in roots who ordered the whipping of "toby" for running away.

This video is a lot clearer - and more complete, by your synopsis - than when I first saw it many years back on MTLTV.com

[@RaginRonic]

A little bonus fact here for you, JB.....the shot of the Maison Radio-Canada tower at the end of the clip was shot close to the corner of Rue Panet/Panet Street and Blvd. Ste. Catherine Est/St. Catherine Blvd. East in Downtown Montreal. And I listed both the English and French street names here just to cover both languages, as I felt I needed to cover both here. =B

[@johnnysama]

Been a while since this video was up. I wonder what the song that plays when going over the re-broadcasters towards the end of the video? It's so nice and jazzy. :D

I'm pretty sure the sign off sequence for CBMT in the early 1990s will be very similar to the sign on sequence, except at the end, the announcer would wish them good night. Nonetheless, the sign on sequence is very incredible, probably one of the best, next to CBLT in the 2000s and CBOT in 1990.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

How about CBET in Windsor?

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

@@ChristopherSobieniak One with the typing text that said goodnight is still not there. But the one from 1992 is decent; the best part of this sign off is the Ross Carlin Celebrity version of O Canada .

[@hollylester3813]

I know the cbc station in ottawa used a test pattern but i dont remember if it said CBOT ottawa on it or not?

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

@@hollylester3813 Test pattern on CBOT Ottawa is the color bars that said "OTTAWA" and the time is on the bottom right.

[@hollypietrzak5214]

Did anybody ever noticed that the CBC logo is missing from front of the building at 16:38?

[@RaginRonic]

That's because, in 1989, CBC used the logo with the C in the middle. It was a 28-segment logo as well, so probably for cost reasons, the 1992-present CBC logo is what went up at the top of the building. =P

[@hollypietrzak5214]

Ragin' Ronic when CBMT used to sign off every night they did ever say on behalf of the staff and management of CBC 6 we bid you goodnight?

[@norumbega5897]

Will you find something similar from a Francophone (SRC2 Montréal) one?

[@HowardSalwasser]

I have one question about one of the show's mentioned. What on Earth was Taylor's Target about? I have to assume it was an action show, but not sure. I hope you ,@RagingRonic or @MTLTV have a clue about it.

[@RaginRonic]

I don't know, sadly. o.o

[@HowardSalwasser]

I found out that Taylor's Target was a cop show. Who knew?

User: CKMI Signed Off User: CBVE Signed On

[@RaginRonic]

I don't know what that means. o.o

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

@@RaginRonic He's talking about CBMT's rebroadcaster in Quebec City. CBVE started broadcasting because CKMI, which was originally a CBC affiliate in Quebec City and later a semi-satellite of CBMT Montreal, became a Global O&O in 1997. (at the time, it was a Quebec City station; now it's a Montreal station) CBVE would close on July 31, 2013 due to budget cuts.

@@Tanzim-Kazi did cbc 6 ever used a colored bar test pattern before?

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

@@hollylester3813 Well, CBMT Montreal did use the colored bar test pattern between 2003 and 2006, although not the traditional one. That station, as well as its French counterpart, CBFT, used the Philips PM5544 in the past, which was widely used in European stations.
