You've pretty well nailed most of them...I believe "Masques" was actually a French film. "Fin des emissions" is the French term for "sign-off".

Was this on a 6 day, 22 hour delay? Or did Canadians get to see it 2 hours earlier than US viewers on TBS?

I thought this show was a Turner production. Did the CBC actually produce it or is this a rare instance of non-CanCon on the network?

>
> CFTO 9-CTV Toronto/CKCO 13-CTV Kitchener
> 12:05 Larry Sanders (5 eps)

That seems a bit excessive. Of course, HBO Comedy was doing the same thing at the time, but that was digital cable, not broadcast. Did they just throw the show on whenever they couldn't sell an infomercial a la Fox O&Os and Cops reruns now?

> CFMT 47-Toronto

Would these have been the same feeds that were airing on the US networks at the same time? If so, were they dubbed into another language?

This was one of very few American shows seen on CBC. I don't think the CBC was involved, other than the buying of the program; and since it was an American show, I don't recall Windsor's O&O CBET carrying it.

Apparently, they had a special marathon that night, which might've replaced a movie.

No; all in English, straight off the US feeds. In addition to ethnic programming, CFMT (and the present-day Omni channels in Toronto) show some American programming, mainly to take advantage of sim-subbing opportunities.

I think it was a one-week delay, with a Canadian host sgement inserted. ATV in the Maritimes also aired this as well on Saturdays.

AFAIK golf was in English; soccer in the past has aired in Chinese, Italian and Portuguese. I remember living in TO in 1990 and seeing World Cup coverage on ChinaVision- all they did was pick up Telelatino's feed with their own studio commentators.

Some? It appears to constitute the bulk of the Toronto weekday schedules. The Omni Vancouver schedule looks like your basic US indie station except for some South Asian programming. I guess it keeps people watching Canadian commercials, though.

Isn't Omni Vancouver supposed to be mainly religious programming? Onmi's operations in Vancouver was originally a religious channel "Now TV", owned by Trinity Television (no relation to TBN). A few months ago, Trinity TV sold their Now TV channel in Vancouver and a license for a yet-to-open Winnipeg operation to Rogers.

I do remember CFMT airing some PGA golf back in the 90s, now that you mention it. They also aired some Leafs games during the 1997-98 season, so it wasn't all American content.

I believe the launch of OMNI.2 (CJMT 69) had to do with the growing amount of English programming on CFMT.<P ID="signature">______________
