CBMT News

A look back at CBC Montreal's local newscasts.

	Hourglass Audio clip (mp3)
	City At Six anchor. Audio montage - ID plus clips (mp3)
	The City At Six with George Finstad. He was the anchor at the beginning of the '80s Other City At Six hosts include the fifth estate's Hana Gartner (1974).
	The City At Six newsdesk. It seems CBC Montreal was never destin to be number 1. In the '70 and early '80s, even their studio had to settle for second place behind CFCF for cheesy use of brown, orange and blue.
	Newswatch became the new name for The City At Six in the early-'80s to reflect the "regional" nature of CBMT. This intro is from the late '80s. Audio clip (mp3)
	CBC's Dennis Trudeau. Former host of Newswatch and now the host of the local portion of Canada Now.
	Citybeat began as a segment on Newswatch but eventually grew into a seperate show with its own timeslot. At one point it was on Mondays at 7PM following Newswatch

Thanks to Avi Spector for providing me with an AVI clip of an old CBMT sign-off from the late '80s (or early '90s), which is where all these images and sound clips are from. Credit for the audio montages has to go to the CBC. Thanks to Dan Kowal of CFCF-TV (ironic isn't it) for editing the sound clips for this site.
