The National c. 1978

[dewline]

This dates me more than I want to admit.

I got a history/memory refresher courtesy of insidethecbc.com a while ago, with a selection of YouTubed "opening titles" sequences used by The National, CBC's main late-night newscast program from over the decades.

This one in particular whacked me over the head with the "Do you remember when...?" vibe:

I cannot yet recall the name of the typeface they used. I've seen the name, probably in some Letraset catalogue or Corel font library booklet. But cannot yet remember it.

Help?

If that link/embed doesn't work, let me know, okay?

I remember Air Farce having great fun with that one, with respect to the newscaster at the time. Every time they said 'Knowlton Nash', that theme would pipe up.

Wondering if any of those epiosdes are available on DVD at the moment?

This would have been somewhat earlier than that, back when they were doing GREAT radio.

Archive-diving time, then!
