This archival clip below shows how the CBC playfully ended their news broadcast on December 31st, 1985. It might start off slow but the banter between the two hosts, and the highlights from the year at the end, make it worth sticking around for.
Happy New Year, everyone!

This clip is one of many gems that V.I.A. reader Rob Richardson has dug up from his collection. The source is a vast archive of VHS tapes that he recorded himself or has managed to collect from thrift stores, flea markets, storage lockers, yard sales, contacts with people in other parts of Canada and the U.S., and anywhere he can manage. He's driven over to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Island and as far down as Olympia, Washington to rescue analogue goodness before they've wound up in the scrapper and we're happy to bring you a Vancouver-centric clip each week.
