CBC Newfoundland April 26, 1993 Sign-Off 

I saw your mock up and it sucked! What a rip off artist you are!

thetoolbox112394 The music was from CBC Radio 2 St Johns.

***** Thanks! It is beautiful. I live in the United States and was not around in 1993. I would have loved to hear it on TV!

Analog Child In america, all color bars need to arrange a tone as a LAW But some networks in america broke it.

Cam Frazer Because I felt it really represents the era I'm so fond of. :)

No, haha, I was only 10 when that happened! I just used a screenshot as my avatar for laughs.

Analog Child btw dude if u don't know, the variation of O Canada was those of the 1978 Montreal rendition, hence the O Canada video has some videos of Montreal and the Olympics there.

Some stations do (or did) use music.

Thunderbirds501 Yes, The Perfect Late Night Music

Actually, it's spelled "St. Lewis". St. Louis is somewhere else.

Oh, I knew that.

CBC loved those flea powered transmitters. Apparently it is cheaper than a handful of higher powered ones...

@@someguy23475 Depending on the local terrain low powered transmitters were probably the only way to ensure reliable reception in many areas.

FragglevisionReturns I would love to see that partial sign-off.

I'm sure that the full version might be on one of those tapes... there was a LOT of movies from that block on those tapes

FragglevisionReturns My fingers are crossed in the hopes that you manage to find that full version.

I did eventually, at the end of a 1991 showing of the movie "Frontier Gal". I hope to get that ripped and uploaded in the near future.

Let me know when it's up. (personal note: if you can do it in 640x480, I can transfer it to my phone)

8 transmitters on the peninsula, 15 in the south, 17 in the east, 18 in the midlands, 13 in the west, 7 in the north (all in Newfoundland) 10 in Labrador proper (9 without St. Louis)

Correct

That logo was used until 1992, in monochrome blue. It stands to reason the new logo had not been rolled out completely yet as it would have been new that year.

That would be the "Ode to Newfoundland", our national anthem when we used to be a country (before becoming a province in 1949).

He’s an executive producer for arts entertainment and music at CBC St. John’s Newfoundland.

@@wolfywolf2sda I see.

@@wolfywolf2sda thats a different man with the same name.

Mark Pentler Labrador was a part of CRC north to my knowledge.

the name of our province was newfoundland until 1999 and then the provincial government renamed our province to newfoundland and labrador, back then cbc had main operations including master control from st. john's and operations in corner brook at cbyt, happy valley goose bay had cblt for labrador, today the only thing we do in st. john's is provide local news on tv, websites, and local cbc radio, corner brook cbyt and cblt for labrador 100% simulcast cbnt, master control and all other operations are done from toronto, very different from when each station did its own individual operations until september 2000.

No me as well.

EricEbac22 "O Canada" is the national anthem, while "The Ode to Newfoundland" is the provincial anthem.

Shane Spencer Hmm; I didn't know that the provinces had their own anthems. I know the name of the national anthem, "O Canada", but as I said I never knew that the provinces had anthems of their own, just like half the states here in the United States have songs/anthems of their own.

I see.

EricEbac22 I am from Saskatchewan and we don't have an anthem

Chris Henniker If you ask me, CBC's sign offs are more American-style. However, Radio-Canada's sign offs are more European-style, and are a lot more like the BBC.

Are you American? LOL

sweiland75 No, English, to be precise.

Ode To Newfoundland

thank you. It is a very pretty song. Do the other provinces have their own songs?

Yes They Do! 😊

School Squad I'll have to look them up. 😊

Look For Québécois Anthem! Gens Du Pays!

"Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel" (1937) was the film.

retronewfoundland I thought it was the other because I saw Robespierre in the cast.

the local cable company always did that, on satellite it would be colour bars all night til 6:15 am.

Due to the hills in Newfoundland.

@@doppelganger3992 I could see how that could necessitate that many towers due to elevation

@@ChristopherSobieniak nonono I'm just making fun of it!!
