CKY-TV Sign-Off (1983)

CKY TV in Winnipeg concludes its broadcast day. Includes both God Save The Queen and O Canada.

[@jckhammer]

I remb falling asleep and being blasted awake heart racing when God save the queen came on at full volume

[@MeowCockadoodledoo]

😂😂😂

[@pinedelgado4743]

I've NEVER watched a Canadian TV station sign-off before today!! I'm an American, and this is great stuff!! Thank you and hello from SoCal--San Diego, California to be exact!! :) :)

[@clydejames6444]

Used to listen to the news on CTK AM-radio from Regina [550 or 540 AM], in the sixties... best Vietnam news since it was fair to the Vietnamese... the news ended with the sign-off and a very majestic playing of "God Save the Queen" CTK was audible all the way down here in Texas after about 10 PM.

[@Ithinkiwill66]

Now there is NO sign offs...ALL stations continue with anything...even repeats...lol

[@KondaaKage]

At least, that's how it looks to me. ~Eleanor Geib

[@Corgipon]

Yep, even at 3AM.

[@ErniLandia]

My opinion is that they should do a faux sign-off the continue the transmission

RIP Queen Elizabeth II!

My mom and dad had to sing God save the Queen when they had to go to school too

[@AR-rb8jr]

My parents did too

[@mharris5047]

Admittedly I have lived in Michigan for the past 50 years now but it is hard for me to get used to God Save the King instead of God Save the Queen.

[@alexisturnning]

@@mharris5047they're literally just the same but with different pronouns for the monarch

[@LGranthamsHeir]

3:11 "God Save the Queen" (Canadian Royal Anthem) 4:09 "O Canada" (Canadian National Anthem)

[@jackatkinson3682]

Beautiful.

[@timothy9434]

Awesome! Do they still sing "God Save the Queen"? I hope so. In the words of "Kids in the Hall": "Without the Queen and the French you're just Americans". It's a joke of course but like all jokes there's truth in it!

[@shamirpatel3569]

Timothy Connelly yh on certain occasions

[@sweiland75]

Are you American? LOL

[@hotwax9376]

There is indeed some truth to that.

[@clydejames6444]

second verse reads: "O Lord God arise, scatter her enemies, and make them fall/confound their politics, frustrate their evil tricks/ on Thee our eyes we fix/God save us all."

[@chrismc410]

Well, "King" now for the first time in 70+ years

[@bluray2012ify]

Great sign-on!!!!!!

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

Off* rather 😂

A Word of Faith with Eleanor Geib to start! "At least that how it looks to me."

The oh canada was used for the CBC sign off

[@IamtheRealLizardQueen]

I think that CKY may have been the first TV station to use the Michael Mills Productions O Canada for their sign on/sign off.

[@erickpaolod.santos3719]

O Canada not Eres tu by Mocedades from the represented Spain in the 1973 Eurovision song contest held in Luxembourg

Love the music from 5:00 onwards to the end

[@pparisps5141]

Great version of O Canada

[@TXPAScot]

Interesting animation for "O, Canada."

[@gidzmobug2323]

Looks like the procession is from a State Opening of Parliament.

[@gregsells8549]

Was this in Ottawa or London?

[@gidzmobug2323]

@@gregsells8549 London. Unless it was the Canadian Parliament, then it would be in Ottawa.

[@mamacass757]

I'm pretty sure that it is either the State Opening of Parliament from 1960 or 1966 (I could be wrong).

[@LGranthamsHeir]

@@mamacass757 From 1960 State Opening of Parliament. Full video (produced by Pathe) is available on KZbin.

[@KondaaKage]

This should have used the 1979 "With Glowing Hearts" O Canada Film, like CJOH

[@tomhallick419]

Everybody else did! lol That's why CKY went with a little sumthin different!!

[@KondaaKage]

@@tomhallick419 i know I'm replying 7 months later, but yeah now i realize how old that painting o canada film is... i thought it was made in the 90s when almost everyone used it

[@christopherbubb2890]

Yeah, it was used on CBC/Radio-Canada O&O's during the '90s. This is the first evidence I have of it being used as early as 1983.

[@8BitAtari]

Does anybody know the sign-off music for this one?

[@doncorleone1553]

O Canada - Vic Vogel

[@mrceleb2006]

This station has Manitoba's most-popular newscast...and can also be seen in northwestern Ontario cities like Kenora, Dryden and Fort Frances!

[@taurusfelis1412]

For those who are familiar with the American 1960 "Government God" subliminal TV signoff video, this CKY video, has a brief glimpse of the base of GWEN Towers. US Version shows the message, CKY shows the method of transmission. Targeted individuals will understand.

[@MeowCockadoodledoo]

Why did they need to inform the viewers of the station's frequencies back then? It was not like the viewers were gonna care of those things.

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

Federal requirements mainly, but also as a courtesy to the viewing audience (especially to the broadcasting enthusiasts like myself). Canadian stations were all required to list the communities they serve, as well as on which channels / frequencies the repeater transmitters in those communities are allotted too.
