Default (Slightly OT) Question: TV dx'ers or Canadians


Did anyone ever see the first programs of SCTV (Second City
Television) on the Global Television Network from Canada? They were on
from around 1976-1978. I was close to the border in Detroit and they
had a station in Windsor, Ontario. I would never miss a show. Now that
was great TV.

Anyone who saw some of that stuff on Global remember a show called
Shh! Its the News? They made fun of news shows. They used to have a
skit at the beginning of the show with an old couple watching TV and
the skit would always end by someone saying "Shh! It's the News" - but
they would run the first two words together. Then they would throw the
TV out the window. Again great stuff and it was ahead of its time. I
think it may have been a production of SCTV.
