I suspect that like the NFL prior to 1973 (and for games that don't sell-out since then), the CFL blacked-out home games, although CBOT-4 Ottawa did get to replay the game (apparently) more than a week later.

I guess CTV had their own homegrown version of "Monday Night Football".

Probably was bland with no Canadian answer to Humble Howard.

;)
 
I'm pretty sure that OECA was the educational-TV agency in Ontario agency that eventually launched a network of UHF stations across that province that became TV Ontario (or TVO).

Given that they ran programming during the mornings on CBC stations in Ontario listed in the Ottawa Journal on this date, I suspect the OECA's network wasn't yet on the air, so these OECA programs ran on all CBC outlets in Ontario

That's correct - it would be 1975 before relay stations began broadcasting, with Ottawa and London among the first ones, though some of the Central and Northern Ontario transmitters were on VHF (North Bay, Huntsville, Timmins, Thunder Bay, Owen Sound) as there was plenty of available VHF spectrum in those areas.

The news on CKWS was called Dateline, and when CJOH eventually added late local news, it was called Nightline.
