Video Of CKCO In 1986

I was hoping there would be more announcements for shows that the station was broadcasting at the time (especially the locally produced ones), but this 15 minutes worth of commercials and clips from Ontario Report A.K.A. the 11:30 news from CKCO circa 1986 is still kind of a neat watch for nostalgia’s sake. One of …

Making Poor Word Choices On The Popular

I don’t know who they have writing the copy for the anchors at CTV Kitchener these days, but that person needs a serious tune up. There has been an increasing number of questionable word choices lately, but last night took the cake…at least so far. To introduce a story about the baby formula shortage, the …

Movie Shark Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Yes, they really did make that Baby Shark TV show. And yes, I did watch the entire episode I embedded up there. It was…fine…I guess. I’ve definitely seen better, but I’m sure I’ve seen worse. The thing had it’s moments. A little joke here or there that I could softly chuckle at, that sad song …

Rapping Brian Williams

I need to watch more Jimmy Fallon, apparently. This video is the first time I’ve ever seen the Brian Williams rapping bit. Whoever edited all of those words together is a goddamn hero. By the way, this is Brian Williams the American news anchor, not Brian Williams the Canadian sportscaster. Although I imagine somebody doing …
