I've NEVER watched a Canadian TV station sign-off before today!! I'm an American, and this is great stuff!! Thank you and hello from SoCal--San Diego, California to be exact!! :) :)
Used to listen to the news on CTK AM-radio from Regina [550 or 540 AM], in the sixties... best Vietnam news since it was fair to the Vietnamese... the news ended with the sign-off and a very majestic playing of "God Save the Queen" CTK was audible all the way down here in Texas after about 10 PM.
Awesome! Do they still sing "God Save the Queen"? I hope so. In the words of "Kids in the Hall": "Without the Queen and the French you're just Americans". It's a joke of course but like all jokes there's truth in it!
second verse reads: "O Lord God arise, scatter her enemies, and make them fall/confound their politics, frustrate their evil tricks/ on Thee our eyes we fix/God save us all."

For those who are familiar with the American 1960 "Government God" subliminal TV signoff video, this CKY video, has a brief glimpse of the base of GWEN Towers. US Version shows the message, CKY shows the method of transmission. Targeted individuals will understand.
Federal requirements mainly, but also as a courtesy to the viewing audience (especially to the broadcasting enthusiasts like myself). Canadian stations were all required to list the communities they serve, as well as on which channels / frequencies the repeater transmitters in those communities are allotted too.
