That melancholic feeling during TV sign offs. The Germans must've had a word for it.

Thank you for posting the video. I used to watch Ch 29 in Macomb County, southwest of Sarnia, across the lake. My little Hitachi B+W could pull in many of the channels in southwest ONT. I was a teenager at the time, and enjoyed the British programs that aired. I remember a number of Rock music related shows. One stood out for me, it looked as though it was produced locally and covered the topic of New Wave music. Ah, the memories. Thanks again.

Does anybody remember a late-night programme on Global called "Night Ride"? It was simply a show where a camera was inside a car driving around town late at night with jazz music playing in the background. I didn't quite get the point of that show. Was it simply to lull insomniacs to sleep or something?

IIRC, here in Buffalo in 1989 or 1990, WKBW(Channel 7) had a similar concept... during the wee-morning hours in between late night / early morning fare, a car would be driving around Downtown Buffalo with jazzy music.

T'is indeed one and the same. Pretty cool that he owned the Toronto sign-on/off song market in the 70s/80s

When my folks and I first relocated to the Buffalo area back in 1980, we were able to get Global via Channel 22... even though the Channel 6 region was closer to us.

This has to be from the early-mid 80s, as the channel 22 transmitter in Cottam (later Stevenson) is missing.

Is this the full song from him? I know the Toronto song but don't know if this is just a short bit for the sign off or a longer song? Thanks for posting ;)

Tommy did record a full version of this song which was released on 45rpm when Global TV went on the air. This is a much shorter condensed version.

@kanukster I wonder how old this is. I think sign-offs aren't done anymore, cuz sleep is now passe. Pity! Even on radio, CBC in the 80s did a sign-on @ 5:30 AM, I bet that's history. I like this sign-off, it's apt for original Canada, but today it'd be considered unaccommodating to immigrants; therefore some might even say it's racist
