CKY Winnipeg Sign-off [1987]

[@philipmclaughlin9636]

I use to receive CKY TV channel 7 back in the 80s when I lived in Grand Forks, ND with my rooftop antana. I use to watch this sign off late at night. Some nights I had good viewing other nights it was snow.

Back in the eighties I lived in the town Selkirk just outside Winnipeg. Used to get Fox on channel twelve here and there, sometimes clear and most times snow show.

Back in the day when television stations signed off at midnight or 1 a.m. That was it. Time for bed. No overnight tv then. It was a good period of time.

Curious that plenty of Canadian stations aired a film for "God Save the Queen," but BBC and UK Channel 4 historically never used one at signoff.

I wish they would show the O'Canada video at the end so todays generation can see something great.

This animated version of "Oh, Canada" was the same one that CKSH Ch. 9 in Sherbrooke Quebec used for years.

[@theblindredneck747]

CKY had the same sign off into the early 2000s as far as I remember. I don’t know when they quit or if they still have the same sign off.

[@mamacass757]

CKY TV replaced the 1983 Michael Mills Productions O Canada animated national anthem film with the 1988 Calgary Olympics national anthem film in fall, 1992; after using it for 9 years. Also; CKY TV stopped using the God Save the Queen sign off in 1996. Lastly; CKY TV stopped signing off somewhere between 2002 to 2004 (I could be wrong though).

@@mamacass757 According to one video, they stopped airing the national anthem around 1996.

Why the God Save The Queen part is muted? Is the audio copyrighted?

[@probnot]

It shouldn't be, but it matched the melody of a commercially recorded version... not even this one. So by that reasoning, why recording of God save the Queen will get claimed and need an appeal, even though from what I can tell the song itself is in the public domain.

[@DaveGIS123]

God Save the Queen/King is the national anthem of the United Kingdom and the royal anthem in Canada. It's not copyrighted.

[@probnot]

It's not copyrighted, but you can copyright a performance/recording of it. The problem is that KZbin then detects the melody from this rendition matches the one in content ID. The whole thing is a mess.

What is the model a

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

A classic, simple Ford car. Had four cylinders and a gas tank between the front engine and dashboard.

[@kyndlehewett]

Thanks

[@gidzmobug2323]

A very early car. As I remember, you had to hand-crank it to get it going.

[@davidcarr7436]

Why remove God Save The Queen?

[@probnot]

Of all things, the MELODY got hit, because it matches a copyrighted version of the song

[@probnot]

I'm fairly certain I've uploaded this to archive though if you're looking for the full version

[@davidcarr7436]

@probnot thanks for the info. I only asked because it seemed odd that the anthem would be removed. Copyright never even occurred to me

[@vincentrimmer5844]

It was a beautiful rendition.

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

Bam Margera owned a TV station in Canada?

[@theblindredneck747]

Does any one know who the announcer is?
