I remember watching the Toronto version of this as recently as three years ago. If I remember, it was different to this. You saw a shot of that Canada painting backlit, and light was shining through the white dots. There was also an explanation of what cities in Ontario carry the station, and where you can reach the Toronto office.
Yeah, Setsuna, except you would be watching CBET-TV-9 in Windsor, Ontario. This is CBOT-TV-4 in Ottawa, Ontario. (Capital city region), the only state that carries CBOT-TV-4 is Northerm New York.
@@camfrazer3825 It should've been CBET, but a few times they didn't use their own sign-off sequence, and sometimes showed the one for CBLT in Toronto or CBOT. I recall noticing that on occasions watching them here in Toledo. I'm sure it came down to budgets and not having a full-time staff on board during those hours.
Does anyone else know the name of the World War 1 or 2 memorial videos that used to play late at night too? There was a older lady singing while showing videos of regiments coming home.
Can anyone remember/tell me about the music that played late night after the satellite feeds were over in the early 90's/late 80's? I dont know many details, except it wasn't O'Canada, I think it was kind of synth. It lulled me to sleep a lot of nights as a kid, and I miss it!
@crazyrabbits: That's only for CBLT, which does most of Ontario. The Canada painting backlit that you remember was an earlier version of the same shot. (The CBC logo in this case looks like something from a "Da Vinci's Inquest" endtag.) CBOT and CBET don't do the rundown of Ontario, since it's difference coverage areas (CBOT is Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, and western Québec; CBET is Windsor, ON, and Detroit, MI.)
@dsmo I don't mind that 24 hour stations will play late night movies or repeats of news broadcasts or talkshows. Something that will keep us entertained or informed. But if they're just going to fill up the time with endless infomercials designed to scam people and take their money with false claims, then they might as well go back to programming 20 hours a day, and play digital music to fill in the rest of the time. At least then, we will see sign offs and national athem films again.
No, they didn't. I think when they switched to an 'Ici Tele Radio-Canada' format in 2013, they stopped doing actual sign-offs with an 'O Canada' film. So, I think the latest one they did was the animated one.
@@camfrazer3825 Actually, Radio-Canada did cease transmission with the national anthem daily after '96: ruclips.net/video/HZQZiTCH88s/видео.html&pp=ygUVcmFkaW8gY2FuYWRhIHNpZ24gb2Zm (And this practice continued until sometime in the early 2010s).
@SetsunaTheAngel /watch?v=SexZ4RL_V8k I remember int he 80's when CBET would have one done that had guards raise up the Canadian flag on a long pole while the anthem played, then it went into the usual technical/informative bit of the sign-off while we saw shots of the station's studio.
That was beautiful. When I was a kid, I used to stay up really late just so I could watch this.
Now that CBC is now broadcasting 24 hours, this has become a rare commodity! It won't be long before Radio-Canada goes 24/7!
In the US it was easier to broadcast 24/7 on radio. Not much maintenance as to television back then.

@RetroCalgary The CTV announcer's name is Lee Marshall, but this is the former CBC announcer, Bob Boving, in this sign-off.
This brings back memories. I live in detroit and I Would always see this late at night. Thanks for posting man!

@@ChristopherSobieniak They showed a sign-off very similar in Windsor,but differences aside it's quite nostalgic seeing this.
CBOT-TV-4 is also seen in Central New York including Syracuse, Utica and Watertown on local area cable tv companies.
Many US cable companies have offered CBC stations close to the border like CBET in Windsor.
i loved this
i would watch it and listen for the phone dialing also
When those guys paint that picture...
..That is still on the French CBC in Edmonton, after it plays O-Canada then goes to RADIO-CANADA test pattern
Boy does that bring back memories..
Good old days. I remember waking up around 2 or 3 a.m. and watching this then switching to CTV and watching the late night movies they had on
Great sign off. The remix of "O Canada!" is magnificent.
It's not a remix.
That's the most beautiful sign-off... ever!
Does anyone else know the name of the World War 1 or 2 memorial videos that used to play late at night too? There was a older lady singing while showing videos of regiments coming home.
When it was known as Cky tv in Winnipeg use to this in the early 2000s?
@SetsunaTheAngel CBET in Windsor would play this too, though theirs lacked a local announcement of their station anyway.
The good old days
This sign off announcer sounds eeriely like the guy who did the WNCT-TV station in Greenville NC in 1998 sign off announcement!
the very ending part sounds like heaven and spiritually themed!
what about the phone dial tones you hear about 20 times a hour
Those are SIT tones.
I was in canada years ago, it is a nice place, especially Niagra falls and toronto. I pray that I come back one day.
*Niagara.
Now that's a cool way to eventually transition to the test pattern.

I miss the old days when TV signed off for the say
@RetroToledo
That's the one I'd see. It's was a beautiful sign-off no matter where you saw it.

Does anyone know what happened to Vintage Canada and his videos?
2:46 same with TFO
At least CBOT cared to list off info, CBET in Windsor had nothing for their sign off besides "O Canada".
I.I.N.M., CBC's tone was set at 937.5 Hz.
Are there any videos of the sign off for Windsor, either as CBET or when Channel 9 was CKLW?
No.
I like the girl at 4:47.
Not anymore.
Did Radio-Canada used that version of O Canada?
No, they didn't. I think when they switched to an 'Ici Tele Radio-Canada' format in 2013, they stopped doing actual sign-offs with an 'O Canada' film. So, I think the latest one they did was the animated one.
@@caledaley3239 They never did an “O Canada” film after 1996.

@SWhit62030 He's now known as retronewfoundland
where is the testcard loop at the final???
RetroWinnipeg probably forgot to record it.
I don't think I've ever seen a sign off from 2006...does the CBC still do them?
Nope, read the description.
That was CBC Ottawa from 2006
hey, anyway to get that CBC Television end tag as a screen saver ...that would look so COOOOOL when im away from the computer
idklol
@RetroWinnipeg
They almost all sound alike

Is retro still on You Tube?
Yep.
OH CANADA!
Try Bob Boving...
no 2005 sign off of CBC.
Isn't this close enough?
