SPECIAL EVENT

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET:
CBC VANCOUVER TV 1960

Sunday 28 March: 1.30 + 4.30 (repeats), $10
 


 
 

It is 1960. CBC TV has been broadcasting in the Lower Mainland since December 1953 under the name CBUT (Channel 2), originally flying in kinescopes from Toronto, but increasingly producing locally-made shows. Turning the dial back 50 years, CBC’s Vancouver archivist Colin Preston will introduce a typical day’s programming from that era, compressed into about an hour and a half.

Our blast from the past includes the popular music series MEET LORRAINE, the 7 O’CLOCK SHOW, HERE AND THERE, children’s programming, and a news bulletin, all with a distinctly local flavour. Come to share your memories of British Columbia television in its infancy, or to catch a rare glimpse of the province as it used to be – in glorious black and white.
