Do you have the Channel 9 signoff from the late 80's that shows the Windsor nightlife? (That signoff ended with a shot of the Ambassador Bridge all lit up and coming into focus before going into "O Canada.") For some strange reason, I always thought it sounded funny on that signoff when the announcer said, "And now we bid you a pleasant good night." When the signoff I described was shown, I was temporarily living at home (or, more to the point, a "shack" in the boonies) with my family in Goodrich, Michigan while trying to get my career started. The previous year, in June 1986, I had graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey with a Bachelor of Scince degree in Business. Goodrich is located between Detroit and Flint, so we could pick up Channel 9 very well with a rotary antenna on the roof.
That is sooooooo close to the original CBET TV sign Off! still in search for it , where they did the BTS at the station,and had the empty coffee pot ,and the chyron operator typing the letters G-O-O-D N-I-G-H-T showing on the tv screen along with larry o brien announcing
CBET also had one called "Showtime" as well, using the same "Movie Channel" ish star!... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZMwajX1Mz2Q.html
@@hollypietrzak5214 They all seem to have their own flavors. CBET used this type until the early 2000's when it switched over to one similar to CBLT's own color bar pattern with "CBC Windsor" captioned in the middle.
@@pernelldh Thanks! I recall at that time they signed on right around 9AM so they didn't have much of a morning presence til then and the first program was an exercise show before going to the children's stuff until noon.
That's when the station cuts the carrier (basically when they shut the transmitter tower off for the night). WWTV (our CBS affiliate in Northern MI, also channel 9) would come in with a very staticy signal afterwards (if they didn't sign off before CBET).
@@hollypietrzak5214 CBC did that for all their stations. Here's one for Newfoundland. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g4_a_EeHD1Y.html
Christopher Sobieniak I hope there another new user that comes RU-vid one day and uploads new CBC sign offs we haven't seen yet and the only one I haven't seen yet is a CBC Saskatoon one?
