the "citypulse tonight" theme from the mid-'80s/early '90s (after they used "masterpiece")...finally, the full track...and now, we know the artist behind it too! cool! thanks for sharing!
IN CONCERT: Graham Shaw & The Sincere Serenaders w/ guest Jennifer Hanson @ McPhillips St. Station 484 McPhillips, Wpg July 22, 2010 - 8pm - tix: Ticketmaster This shall be epic !!
got it... :) i bought some old GTA TV guide mags from around '77 off ebay..."citypulse" was still new then--it was 1.5 hours long starting at 6pm (and replayed the next morning at 10:00), and they didn't have the late edition yet... and gord was credited on the program description as "GORDON martineau".
in that case, that would've been maynard ferguson's version, right? although in the retrospective clips city aired during the week before their move to dundas square, they showed one old "citypulse" intro (probably from the late '70s) that used the slower "gotta fly now" (which i assume--and please correct me if i'm wrong--would be the bill conti version)...
they used this track for 11 years on "the big show" (what mark dailey calls their late-night news at city)? wow...that was long... the guys who did audio for city at the time "pentatus" was used for "citypulse tonight" did a good job editing and rearranging parts of the song into one coherent track... btw, was "masterpiece" used only on "citypulse tonight" or also on the 6:00pm hour?

Completely forgot about this theme. Memories of 80s-90s Toronto. Such a different flavour to that city now.
AWESOME! Great find!!

Now, if we could only find a clean version of the “Great Movies” theme from the time!
Pentatus was still used after they did the revamp in 90-91? Interesting, didn't knew it.
wow
The version City used of "Gotta Fly Now (Rocky's Theme)" is *not* the Bill Conti version... Has anyone identified which cover version it is?
Closest one I've found is Maynard Ferguson's version it sounds similar to me but maybe you can check it out.
Maynard Ferguson did the citypulse version
CFTO was known for using a drum theme back in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
City-TV also used Parry Music’s (Sidetracking) in some shows
amazing uploaded quality!
any chance you could get the rest of the album up?

oh, yeah, i remember that...i think glen cole (God bless him) was the only one who actually called gord "gordon" on the air... :)
