Global Edmonton Celebrates 50th Anniversary

It started out as independent television station, CITV Edmonton in 1974.  It also gave a groundbreaking sketch comedy show a new life, and it's most creative and best years.  More from brioux.tv.. https://brioux.tv/blog/2024/09/03/toasting-edmontons-citv-hotbed-to-the-best-of-sctv-on-its-50th/

Re: Global Edmonton Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Growing up in the '90s, our cablesystem in the Lindsay-Peterborough area carried ITV, even into its first couple of years as a Global O&O; in the late '90s I'd sometimes watch the first hour or so of their morning news show. Still miss Bill Matheson and his weather reports during the evening newscasts.

ITV was carried all over the place in small towns across Canada. I had grandparents in Northern Ontario who got ITV (as well as BCTV) on cable in the 90s.
