This is my favorite CBC sign off, the music, the voice of the announcer, and the images. I fondly remember watching it every Thursday during the early 80's right after Minder was over, it always gave me a peaceful feeling during those high stress times as a university student.
I was unemployed, living in a shitty little ground floor bachelor suite in Marpole with my first girlfriend Marianne. Soon afterward we broke up and I moved to Whistler. I must have watched this countless times. Being unemployed is the worst, you waste so much time in front of the TV.
@ethicomm The call letters CBUT come from the CBC's standard practice of taking their radio outlet's calls (CBU in the case of Vancouver) and appending a "T" for television. CBL in Toronto begat CBLT, CBK in Regina spawned CBKT, and so on.
Not on the tape I extracted this from. There may have been on the actual broadcast - CBUT typically did - but the sign-off was at the tail end of the tape and frankly I was happy to see the entire sign-off message had been recorded.
People say this sign off aired from 1981-1987/1986, I'm guessing from 1981-1984, they used the 1979 With Glowing Hearts film (I heard it from a recording), 1984-1986 or 1987 used this film for sure.
Man, I remember when they had a dumpy little station at Bute and Georgia (I believe Georgia). But I believe Bute street is where they got the BUT in CBUT.
@tkaye2 I didn't realize that. I always thought they were located at Georgia and Bute Street hence where they might have got their call letters. Thanks for letting me know!
I do for the later 1980s but not the earlier part of the decade (or not yet, at least). The one posted here on YT from 1989 is actually mine; it was copied from an earlier account of mine and re-posted during the brief hiatus while I was trying to rebuild a new one.

Canada has the coolest names for towns lakes and rivers.
CBUT can also be seen in Bellingham Mt Vernon Everett and the Seattle metro area
KUCF Melbourne opening 2009

@05309193 It's "Give it All You Got, But Slowly" from Chuck Mangione's 1979 album "Fun and Games."
I remember this music from KNCT-FM in Killeen when they signed off at midnight and were an NPR affiliate.
WFLD also used it for their sign offs in the _Son of Svengoolie_ era.
this CBUT sign-off was used until 1987.
No wonder CBC is a "crown corporation." Extending that station's signal across B.C., Yukon and the NWT cost the government a lot of money.
That was pretty standard for most state-owned channels across the globe.
This was from early 1986 not 1985 sorry.

What you see in the clip is the entirety of what was on the tape

What music was that in the background?
It's "Give It All You Got, But Slowly" by Chuck Mangione
AthenaNova Oh you don't say! I already figured out before you did, but thanks for the heads up.

What's the instrumental piece from the beginning to 2:39?
The music heard here is the same one that was used on WFLD in the mid 80's
Along with WJAR from the 80s.
@@jonesdavid14 Right! It was around 1986!
Do you have the sign-on one?

This must have been used from about 1981-87, give or take a year.
1981-85
