The CBC has its share of American television programs, as you can see - Red Skelton, Alcoa Presents, Fireball XL-5. I wonder when CBC started broadcasting around the clock, rather than coming on in the afternoon.

Long Metrage – “Horizons sans fin”
|
In 1964, Canadian Football television rights were split between CTV and CBC. The Eastern Conference, the former "Big Four," were broadcast on CTV. John Bassett, one of the powers behind the creation of CTV, was also part owner of the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL, and later would own teams in the WFL and WHA.

CJOH may not have started its broadcasting day until 1:30, but they have football, so it's all right. TV
A TV station in 1964 airing something like "Industry on Parade"? You might as well put up a test pattern or go off the air entirely? When did these kind of shows finally go off the air, and did anybody actually watch them.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right about CTV; before rules were passed in 1971 requiring stations to air a given amount of domestic programming, private Canadian broadcasters aired as much American programming as possible. Considering almost all Canadian content today is news/sports/stuff like "Entertainment Tonight Canada" you wonder if the quota system works.
Some notes:
ReplyDelete(1) Despite airing on the two NBC affiliates listed in this TV Guide, the baseball game between the Mets and Houston wasn't an NBC presentation. It was actually produced by WOR-TV New York and fed to several stations in upstate New York.
And yes, Mets home telecasts starting in 1964 were broadcast in color.
(2) Burlington/Plattsburgh didn't get its own ABC station until WNVY Channel 22 signed-on in the late 1960's. But WNTW, despite being licensed to Poland Spring in Maine, actually had its transmitter atop Mount Washington, and not only served as the ABC affiliate for Portland, but was also the de facto ABC station for Burlington/Plattsburgh.
It's analog signal area was so huge that it could be received over-the-air as far west as Lake Placid, as far south as Nashua, New Hampshire, as far east as Bangor, and as far north as Montreal and Victoriaville, Quebec.
(3) To this day, most of CTV's programming schedule (apart from news, public affairs, and sports) remains American imports (as is almost all of prime-time).
By contrast, the CBC some years back vastly reduced the amount of American imports on their schedule (but the CBC still caries a handful of American shows).
(4) Although some Canadians living within range of U.S. TV stations had color TV sets in 1964 (to watch color shows on American stations), color TV didn't arrive in Canada until the fall of 1966. And unlike in the 'States, where it took well over a decade for the networks to complete converting from black-and-white to color broadcasting, the CBC and CTV converted most network programming to color rather quickly.
