CBET Channel 9 [Windsor, ON] - Sign-Off + Canadian National Anthem (1979)

[@lugnuts6]

THIS THE ONE!!!I've been so hoping that someone would find this, the BEST and most famous of all CBET SIGN OFFS !

[@MR_MRM_]

As a local Detroit or Windsor resident might tell you, Windsor, Ontario, is actually south of Detroit! 🌍 I think it's the only place where that's the case.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

That is true!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

The weird convenience that Ontario just manages to creep underneath Detroit like that. May not be as perfect but it is something.

[@edwardpate6128]

Growing up in the Detroit area this brings back a lot of memories.

[@joshgalka9414]

Smooth, seamless transition from the national anthem to the test pattern!

[@CrowTRobot-ni7zu]

Local for me in SE MI! Nice version of O Canada that I haven’t heard before. Thanks for posting this, Rick.

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

Thank you, Croooooow - I love your witty rejoinders. :-)

[@williamschubert7063]

I agree. Would love to hear this version, remastered or re-orchestrated. It is the best version, and the one I remember the most, so many years later.

[@thepeternetwork]

Watching this sign-off from Canada reminds me of the time my sister and I visited her Internet friend at Prince Edward Island. It was a long, hard drive.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

That's my feeling of Canada, it's vast.

Best sign-off ever. Better than anything here in the U.S. Thanks for sharing this Rick!!!

[@hf6150]

Nice to see that the staff cleaned the coffee pot before going home. :-)

Saw this many times growing up in Toledo

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Classic!

[@andynarain672]

One of the best Scanimate logos I've ever seen.

[@KondaaKage]

This is great! Nice way to end the broadcasting day!

[@BBC600]

I believe the tune that plays during the Scanimate logo is "A season to celebrate."

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

I'm sure they're using whatever was CBC's image campaign music then.

[@Kramden429]

It is indeed "A Season to Celebrate."

[@jackdemus7890]

I have a nearly complete sign-off from CBC-6 from Montreal from the mid-90s.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Nice to get to see the late 70's CBET logo. They no doubt wanted to emphasize where this station was from and who it served long after it left the hands of RKO General and the US. I think this logo was used between 1975 to 1979.

[@dantheelevatorman1]

I kind of wonder. back when it was CKLW-TV, did they play both US and Canadian national anthems at sign off and sign on?

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

@@dantheelevatorman1 I personally don't know.

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

@@dantheelevatorman1 I don't think so. In fact, if anything (even though I do not know for sure), CKLW and other CBC affiliates would've played 'God Save the Queen' and / or O Canada at sign-off/sign-on. What's now known as CBC Windsor, as well as the rest of the CBC would've stopped playing the royal anthem in 1980. However, well before then, it was that, and O Canada every day at sign-off and sign-on in some variation in the 1950s and 60s (in that one or the other may've been played at sign-off, and vice versa in some cases).

[@Kramden429]

No, it was only "O Canada" on Channel 9. Channel 50, WKBD in Detroit played both the U.S. and Canadian anthems at sign-on and sign-off.

"Channel 9 CBET Windsor now concludes another day of broadcasting. CBET, an owned and operated station of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, broadcasts on Channel 9 with a video power of three-hundred and twenty-five thousand watts. Leave the dial on 9 for another day of the finest television entertainment. Now, this is Marty Adler, bidding you a pleasant good night and good morning."

"Aww."

I think that the MfU episode at the beginning is "The Giuoco Piano Affair". (Just in case, unlike the rest of the series [and Girl], the first season's episodes used episode-specific stills.)

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

Yep, you are correct - that was the episode.

[@mikemercer7339]

A Season to Celebrate logo showin before Oh Canada!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Nice if that was it's promo campaign at the time.

Fuzzy: Hope you upload more CBET 9 Windsor, Ontario footage someday soon.

[@dave11686]

Very unique

[@SWhit62030]

Do you have their sign offs when Channel 9 was CKLW TV?

[@P00katube]

South Of The Border actually.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Yep, Windsor is technically south of Detroit. Rather convenient spot for Canada to have it's southernmost point at.

[@mikepuk8224]

Do you have any more 1970s Canadian Sign Offs ?

[@rosaxdicho]

That ID logo sequence... Nice... The jingle... Sounds familiar!!! Where's it from!?!?

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

I'm sure it was whatever CBC was using for music in their promos then

[@BBC600]

@@ChristopherSobieniak I was listening to Air Farce from 1978 and it would appear to be based on their jingle. The lyrics when sung "A season to celebrate."

Mmm... I don’t think that’s Wichita Lineman, is it?
