Sign-off sequence from CBC station "CBC British Columbia" CBUT in Vancouver, British Columbia, recorded in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 28, 1979.
Includes a lengthy readout of CBUT's repeaters throughout western Canada, followed by renditions of "O, Canada" and "God Save the Queen." The music heard under the voiceover is "Someone to Watch Over Me" by André Kostelanetz.
Until 1981, the Victoria portion of the market was served by independent CBC affiliate CHEK.

Re: God Save the Queen used on Canadian TV sign offs: That practice ceased after July 1, 1980, when O Canada became the only official anthem of Canada.
Neat history there.
Many Canadian stations were still playing GSTQ at sign-off well into the '80s. CFTO in Toronto was playing it as late as 1992.
Some stations only played O Canada, even before that became the only official national anthem of Canada. That includes CHCH Hamilton and even American stations like WIVB Buffalo.
I wish we still played both anthems
Never thought about that, but yeah, you're right!
I miss this announcer. He was really good.
Holy cow, the xlater-repeater roll call had everything but the kitchen stove! Nice sign off in every respect
Lol, but true! Best shoutout to the audience in the CBC Vancouver Area!🎉
@@player4life11111 Indeedo!
I used to work there about that time. There was an 11pm newscast, live, in a tiny studio with one small desk, a couple of lighting fixtures and a microphone and camera. As the 'new guy' technician, it was my job, frequently, to arrive about 10:30pm, check the lights were on, the camera pointed at the desk and flip the switch, sit down, wait to the end of the newscast, say goodnight to the announcer, turn everything off, and leave!
Such a small outfit it sounds like.
@@ChristopherSobieniak Thata was almost 50 years ago. Times have changed somewhat since then. Brand new studios, for one! CBUT Channel 2 is CBC's Western Regional Production Center. Even before the new studios were built, CBUT produced dozens of programs, variety shows, dramas, cooking shows, news magazines and covered almost all sports events in the region.
@@garryej Not bad at all. I only think more of the CBC station in Windsor, Ontario as I can watch that station here in Ohio, they had an interesting history due to it's location and viewership. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBET-DT
Interesting renditions of O Canada and God Save the Queen that I’ve never heard before. I like em!
It's interesting that they were the source of CBC in Uranium City at the time. Eventually Uranium City would be served by CBC North, which was replaced in 2003 by programming from CBKST in Saskatoon. CBKAT, which had a power of 15 watts, was shut down in 2012 when the CBC shut down its various analog repeaters due to budget cuts and the switchover to digital.
I wonder how many people, especially 12 year old boys, have called this station See-Butt over the years.

Love this, especially the fact that God Save The Queen is part of the sign-off.
This is great. Totally what I remember. I came here to show my 14 yr old son, who of course has never seen tv that signs off at the end of the day. In 1979 I was 15. Saw this nightly. Thanks for putting it up! PS, we didn't have the BC part as we were in Saskatchewan.
Love this find! I've never seen what they've used before O Canada became the National Anthem and before the "With Glowing Hearts" film was used almost everywhere, so this is nice!
Possibly the Oldest CBC sign off known to exist.
It's tied with this. th-cam.com/video/D6g4Xi7vqus/w-d-xo.html
That CBC British Columbia slide reminds me of those crime drama shows
Quite the list of translators there, stretching from BC to the Yukon and NWT to Saskatchewan!
It was necessary before the proliferation of cable/satellite.
They should bring back TV sign-offs in Canada. Have them perform "O Canada" followed by "God Save The Queen."
@@danielcherriomkins5280 god save the queen is the Canadian Royal anthem. We are a Commonwealth realm .
@@danielcherriomkins5280 False. www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/royal-symbols-titles/royal-anthem.html. God Save the Queen is our Royal Anthem. This is the history of Canada and it's founding which should be respected. This is not the United States.
This is the first time, at least that I can remember, that I have a seen a sign off from a CBC O&O where they played GSTQ.
Amazing find!
I wish they still played O Canada and God Save the Queen.
Beautiful to see! I had not seen this particular anthem film before. In the early 80s CBUT had a more graphics-driven display of the repeaters throughout BC versus the recital here. What preceded the sign-off?
Just the credits for the late-night movie. No ad break or anything.
@@Channel37TV Sounds standard. I used to see it like that with CBET in Windsor.
I do remember a sign off where the background music was A Swingin Safari and the sign off ident featured the words Good Night From CBUT. It is completely lost for me.
I wish we still played both anthems
I'm sure 1982 put a stop to it.

I believe Seth Rogen filmed some of The Interview at CBUT’s studios
CBC Quebec was similar, both English and French. Not sure if satellites have replaced these re-broadcast transmitters. 😀
They pretty much had. Normally these cable/satellite providers would use the feed for the station serving that province. Only the main transmitters used for cities like Montreal are still operational.

Carrier is cut at 1:29:10 am
My dad actually worked there around this time as a technician - also they mentioned that there's a translator on Mt. Baker? In Washington State? When I lived in Seattle about 10 years ago we used to watch CBUT there.
I think that's a different Mount Baker, somewhere in the BC Interior.
@@johnpat3622 It is. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Baker_(Waputik_Mountains)
Was the "O Canada" and "God Save the Queen" films used by CBUT also used by other CBC stations in the 1970's (including CBLT Toronto)?
Yes
CBET Windsor had a different sign off in 1979, which I assume existed before 1979.
Yes. I remember it being used at CKOS TV in Yorkton SK, as well as CFQC TV in Saskatoon.
How old is that "God Save The Queen" film? And I didn't realize Canadian stations still played it...
BGM is "Someone to Watch Over Me." Not sure of the artist. Anyone know?
André Kostelanetz
@@Channel37TV Thanks! I figured it was a "Beautiful Music" artist.
Did I hear that they had a transmitter on Mount Baker? Isn’t that in the U.S.A.?
Just checked, it's right on the border between Alberta and British Columbia.

@@ChristopherSobieniak Ah, interesting, thank you.
i don't need to use request on you, only like this, but nice video
Where are those lighted pyramids?
Also, re: 2:16: What's the name of the announcer?
Oh, I found it: It was Bruno Cimolai.
Did CBUT always shut off their transmitter at night?
