CFCN 25th Anniversary Special (1985 - 24 Minutes, #189)

CFCN Television celebrated 25 years of broadcasting in 1985 and, 25 years later in 2020, it was 50 years - hard to believe that much time has passed. This 25th Anniversary special, hosted by the "Silver Fox" Gord Kelly, takes a nostalgic look at CFCN's early days of broadcasting - the shows, the faces and the city as it was back in the 60's. This retrospective special highlights some of CFCN's early productions like Holiday Quiz hosted by Don Thomas, Teen Beat and the Teen & Twenty dance party hosted by Whoopi Don Wood and, CFCN's very first color production, About Face with noted make-up artist John Cox. You'll see a few shots of CFCN employees back in 1985 (Ross Lynem, Dawn Dawley etc.) as well as highlights of classic shows seen on CFCN. It's 24 minutes of memory lane - well worth the watch. If you're short for time, watch at least the first 7 minutes, and then on another day - watch the rest of it. This special was researched and written by Kathy Reno (Edwards), wife of the late Norm Edwards, studio director Joe Klepik, editor Peter Armstrong, audio Bruce Nelson, logo design Charles Heine, producer/director Brian Vos and executive producers Hugh Dunne and Bruce Nelson.
