Oct 22, 2009 - I heard from last night's National that there would be a series of changes to the layout of CBC News, this including the National, starting next Monday (Oct 26, 2009). I guess after that, this clip would consider to be an archive clip eh?

Apr 6, 2010 - really? wow, that's precise. how certain are you?

0814ma Says:

Apr 6, 2010 - @youdonwannaknowmeThe following is from The Globe and Mail (Sat., Jan. 7, 2006):On Monday, CBC's The National will begin with a new five-note introduction - a mnemonic, as the CBC likes to call it - that will ring in all of its major TV and radio newscasts.[...]The National's current pounding, orchestral drumbeat theme will change, and there will no longer be an aerial shot of the Toronto skyline (which was always incongruous when the clip failed to match the day's actual weather).

0814ma Says:

Apr 6, 2010 - Here are some other key dates in the history of The National:Monday, October 18, 1976: Lloyd Robertson becomes the co-anchor of the CTV National News (with Harvey Kirck).Monday, November 20, 1978: Knowlton Nash replaces Peter Kent as anchor of The National.Monday, January 11, 1982: The National moves to 10 p.m.; the Journal debuts.Friday, April 27, 1984: Kirck anchors his last CTV broadcast.Monday, May 30, 1988: Peter Mansbridge replaces Nash.

0814ma Says:

Apr 6, 2010 - CORRECTION: Mansbridge debuted on Monday, May 2, 1988. His debut broadcast was delayed 59 minutes by a hockey game.Monday, September 11, 1989: The National debuts a new set, graphics, and theme music.Thursday, March 26, 1992: Journal anchor Barbara Frum dies.Monday, November 2, 1992: The National and Journal merge into CBC Prime Time News. CBC moves its news hour back an hour to 9 p.m.Monday, January 31, 1994: PTN debuts new graphics and a new set (in the Canadian Broadcasting Centre).

(Since PTN's debut, he had co-anchored with former CTV anchor Pamela Wallin.)Tuesday, September 5, 1995: CBC renames PTN "The National".Monday, September 22, 1997 (best guess): CBC revamps the graphics for The National.

popesnose Says:

Aug 14, 2011 - What a stale, sterile news source the CBC has become. They don't even have what it takes to keep up to date Youtube video of their programs. Their major news shows are half weather reports with an old British babe who pretends to have a heavy accent after living for decades in Edmonton and Vancouver.The Liberal and Conservative governments of the past years have them so afraid they will do any thing to survive. I only hope, they just give up and clear the field for more fearless journalism.
