CBC Toronto Sign Off (1989) 

Go to sleep Saturdays during HNIC & wake up to test pattern or Coronation Street. A Canadian tradition.

Wait what

@@graysonclarkgraysontv5277 He's referring to the national anthem clip that begins 1:00 in. Most Canadian stations aired this at some point between the late 70s-90s.

It's pretty amusing to me when it reminds me of when the "South Park" Canadians sing this same song. That's the Canadian national anthem.

Hello cousin!

I guess CBLT didn't see a need to go into that at all with their transmitters though in the 90's they would start bringing up the communities they serve over a map of the province.

+Justin Bieber Sucks Est. 1998 do you know if ksps ever used a test pattern before?

Detroit?

No, it's Vermont, since most of their viewship comes from Montreal.

Could have been any number of stations along the US-Canada border: WNED/Buffalo, NY; WNMU/Marquette, MI; WTVS/Detroit, MI; Prairie Public TV/North Dakota; KCTS/Seattle, WA; WENH/Durham, NH; WCFE/Plattsburgh, NY; Vermont PBS (formerly Vermont ETV/Vermont Public Television); WPBS/Watertown, NY (formerly WNPE); WQLN/Erie, PA; WXXI/Rochester, NY; Maine Public Broadcasting Network (formerly Maine Public Television).

This version was used in my high school for the morning anthem 1990-94

Same

Actually, it was the same ending all over the country. :)

Me and i'm from Brazil

The singers were from a production of "Sounds and Saddles" in Ottawa in the mid 1980's. My sister and brother were in the choir. :)

@@MathRaven1910 no you didn't 🙄

The kids choir.

And who is that kid from the start of the video?

It's "Mandy" (1952).

An old one

Holly, I am a broadcast engineer. The "green thing" at the top of the test pattern IS part of the test pattern. It would be called a "luminance ramp" modulated with the color burst signal. It is a check for luminance response with the chroma burst signal added. With the chroma removed it should look like a smooth ramp from black to white. A similar test pattern is called NTC-7 and can be viewed at 29:00 on this YT video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nzMBuVFM634.html In that case, the luminance is of a "step" nature with the burst signal added.

That's the RCMP Sounds and Saddles Chorus, with the RCMP Band. The vocal soloist here is unknown (but he sure as heck is talented)

what?

Next year brother!
