I hope he rebuilds the whole channel again, I was a subscriber and it was great. IIRC I found one of my favourite CFL videos there, I am a collector of historical videos of all kinds ie early TV, early videotape etc.

The video (The 1966 Grey Cup) was the oldest Canadian colour videotape that I can recall seeing. Colour broadcasting in Canada was introduced July 1 1966. This is not a film, not a kinescope, it's videotape, and it's not common to see something that old on videotape (let alone colour) from Canadian TV.

Just as an FYI, during the top secret race to perfect videotape CBC and the reps of the American networks (and BBC) were allowed to see the tests being done at Ampex in 1956 so CBC was there from the very beginning.

A crash program followed the demonstration, with introduction of the machine to the industry scheduled for the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (later shortened to and hereafter referred to as NAB) Convention in Chicago, just six weeks away. In the weeks that followed the demonstration to Ampex management, a number of visitors were shown the video recorder. Engineering executives from CBS, ABC, CBC and the BBC were sworn to absolute secrecy and ushered in and out separately so they would not see each other.

Actually found it at another channel, so maybe I didn't get it from Newt but he still had a great channel and hopefully will again.
