  • Amazing look at Citytv/MuchMusic's new home at 299 Queen Street West, along with some history of the building and lots of familiar faces. Very special thanks to Ken Reid for shepherding this clip through the ages!
    Retrontario’s primary mission is the preservation, research and exhibition of rare videotape recordings (1970s to 1990s) recorded off of any and all Ontario (and surrounding area) TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. We also hope to create an ongoing oral history of this content through comments left below the videos. Please add to this evolving history, if you know more information pertaining to the clips, fondly remember them or have a modern thought all comments are welcome! For more information on how to help in our mission please visit us at: www.retrontario...

    I was new to Toronto and worked on that block from October 1987 to February 1992. The energy on the street was fantastic. I've never seen anything like it since.

    That's a shame the interiors are no longer innovative in design. The original engineering design is still in tact though. It was nice to see this.

    City TV had female camera crew. That was another one of their innovations

    That first segment was from CityPulse Tonight on Sunday, May 3, 1987, since they announced that their first CityPulse at 299 Queen Street West would air the next day.

    Sad to see the demise of independent, fair, balanced, truthful news in Canada.
    RIP Canada.

    did you need to mute a song near the end of the video? Ed Segeren looked way too good to be an engineering technician to not work in front of the camera, Ed had a good voice and beautiful hair as well.
