In 1980, CFMT made a bold move by being the first station in Canada to go to 24-hour a day 7 day a week broadcasting with the introduction of The All-Night Show, starring Toronto comedian Chas Lawther, broadcast generally between midnight and 6 AM. The premise was that Lawther's character Chuck the Security Guard had, with the help of his never seen technically minded friend Ryerson (named after Toronto's Ryerson Polytechnic, now Ryerson University), took over the facilities of CFMT and accidentally broadcast their favorite shows over the air while fooling around with the equipment. The station's owner was suitably impressed and gave Chuck and Ryerson their own show. The All-Night Show generally showed re-runs of classic series such as The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and The Prisoner, and filled the space in between with music videos (including old Scopitones), old movie shorts and comedic banter. Lawther became a minor celebrity in Toronto and is still frequently seen on Canadian television. Although the show only lasted one year and ended in a contract dispute (despite surprisingly high ratings even in the days before widespread VCR use), 24 hour a day broadcasting became the standard for almost every television station in the years after the show.

Ross Video :: Testimonials :: Synergy 4 (1140 words)
As a broadcast market Toronto is rated number 1 in Canada and has been often been compared to New York and L.A. On a personal note, I've been with CFMT for 16 years, the last 10 as their Engineering Manager.
Before the CDL 680 was a Ross 505 switcher that CFMT purchased in fall of 1979, now that's a classic.
In closing, we at CFMT believe that as a Canadian corporation we should support Canadian made products and that the world class switchers that are now shipping to your door from Ross have benefited immensely from the collaboration between CFMT TV and Ross Video.
