- Not from Chicago, or even anywhere in the U.S.A., but north of the border in Canada, here's a sign-off of Windsor, Ontario station CBET Channel 9.
The station first signed on in 1954 as CKLW-TV and remained with those call letters until September 1st 1975 when it became a wholly owned-and-operated station of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Pre-1975 it was sister to legendary Top 40 radio station CKLW (AM 800, a.k.a. 'The Big 8' and famous for their "20/20 News" broadcasts); until the late 1960's the station was also sister to other RKO General stations such as WOR Channel 9 in New York (now WWOR Secaucus, NJ), KHJ Channel 9 in Los Angeles (now KCAL), WHBQ Channel 13 in Memphis, and WNAC Channel 7 in Boston (now WHDH).
Includes:
Last few seconds of end credit sequence of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Sign-off, with look inside CBET studios including RCA film chains, projectors, slide bank and even a shot of unplugging the coffee pot (voiceover by Marty Adler) - note the 'ON AIR' button at the end of this elaborately produced sequence, looks similar to that seen in the first-season opening titles to Second City Television (SCTV).
Video-animated station ID (made with Scanimate technology)
"O Canada" film with sights around Windsor and vicinity
EIA RS-189A color bars with station ID and time stamp at bottom right, on for about 10 seconds before carrier is cut
This aired on local Windsor TV early Friday, June 8th 1979 during the 12:44am to 12:47am (Eastern) timeframe.

As a local Detroit or Windsor resident might tell you, Windsor, Ontario, is actually south of Detroit! 🌍 I think it's the only place where that's the case.
That is true!
The weird convenience that Ontario just manages to creep underneath Detroit like that. May not be as perfect but it is something.
THIS THE ONE!!!I've been so hoping that someone would find this, the BEST and most famous of all CBET SIGN OFFS !
Growing up in the Detroit area this brings back a lot of memories.
I agree. Would love to hear this version, remastered or re-orchestrated. It is the best version, and the one I remember the most, so many years later.
Smooth, seamless transition from the national anthem to the test pattern!
Local for me in SE MI! Nice version of O Canada that I haven’t heard before. Thanks for posting this, Rick.
Thank you, Croooooow - I love your witty rejoinders. :-)

Nice to see that the staff cleaned the coffee pot before going home. :-)
Watching this sign-off from Canada reminds me of the time my sister and I visited her Internet friend at Prince Edward Island. It was a long, hard drive.
That's my feeling of Canada, it's vast.
Best sign-off ever. Better than anything here in the U.S. Thanks for sharing this Rick!!!
Saw this many times growing up in Toledo
Classic!
One of the best Scanimate logos I've ever seen.
I have a nearly complete sign-off from CBC-6 from Montreal from the mid-90s.
This is great! Nice way to end the broadcasting day!
I believe the tune that plays during the Scanimate logo is "A season to celebrate."
I'm sure they're using whatever was CBC's image campaign music then.
It is indeed "A Season to Celebrate."
Nice to get to see the late 70's CBET logo. They no doubt wanted to emphasize where this station was from and who it served long after it left the hands of RKO General and the US. I think this logo was used between 1975 to 1979.
I kind of wonder. back when it was CKLW-TV, did they play both US and Canadian national anthems at sign off and sign on?
@@dantheelevatorman1 I personally don't know.
@@dantheelevatorman1 I don't think so. In fact, if anything (even though I do not know for sure), CKLW and other CBC affiliates would've played 'God Save the Queen' and / or O Canada at sign-off/sign-on. What's now known as CBC Windsor, as well as the rest of the CBC would've stopped playing the royal anthem in 1980. However, well before then, it was that, and O Canada every day at sign-off and sign-on in some variation in the 1950s and 60s (in that one or the other may've been played at sign-off, and vice versa in some cases).
No, it was only "O Canada" on Channel 9. Channel 50, WKBD in Detroit played both the U.S. and Canadian anthems at sign-on and sign-off.
Marty Adler doing the voiceover.
"Channel 9 CBET Windsor now concludes another day of broadcasting. CBET, an owned and operated station of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, broadcasts on Channel 9 with a video power of three-hundred and twenty-five thousand watts. Leave the dial on 9 for another day of the finest television entertainment. Now, this is Marty Adler, bidding you a pleasant good night and good morning."
"Aww."
@@lavontreyclarke3285 Nowadays you're lucky if they even remember to say anything.
I think that the MfU episode at the beginning is "The Giuoco Piano Affair". (Just in case, unlike the rest of the series [and Girl], the first season's episodes used episode-specific stills.)
Yep, you are correct - that was the episode.

A Season to Celebrate logo showin before Oh Canada!
Nice if that was it's promo campaign at the time.
Do you have their sign offs when Channel 9 was CKLW TV?
Fuzzy: Hope you upload more CBET 9 Windsor, Ontario footage someday soon.
Do you have any more 1970s Canadian Sign Offs ?
Very unique
That ID logo sequence... Nice... The jingle... Sounds familiar!!! Where's it from!?!?
I'm sure it was whatever CBC was using for music in their promos then
@@ChristopherSobieniak I was listening to Air Farce from 1978 and it would appear to be based on their jingle. The lyrics when sung "A season to celebrate."
@@BBC600 Yep, it's this.

South Of The Border actually.
Yep, Windsor is technically south of Detroit. Rather convenient spot for Canada to have it's southernmost point at.
who did that jazz cover of ''Wichita Lineman'' at 0:06?
Mmm... I don’t think that’s Wichita Lineman, is it?
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV it sounds like it at the end.then whats the real name of that song?
@@harrychestwigg I checked, it’s “Appolonia” by Tom Scott & The L.A. Express
