CBC Television taglines through the ages

From Television At Its Best to Canada’s Own, CBC Television changes its positioning statement (what some people call a “tagline”) every couple of years.

Back in 1986, it was Best On The Box and was illustrated by, well, a blank box, as seen in this ad.

So, what was the best CBC Television tagline and the worst tagline you remember?

If you could write the next tagline, what would it be?

    Getting rid of the shows you love best.

    (This works for Radio 2 as well)

    How about “CBC Television: NOT fighting over the rebroadcast rights to House”
    Steve Baxley says:

    Best CBC Tagline: Best in the box and “We are the CBC”
    Worst Tagline: Television to call our own

    Yuk! Designing Women? I guess this is back when CBC aired a chunk of U.S.A. content.

    I like Jack’s response, only because jPod was so boundary pushing. I still can’t fathom something like it on most broadcast or even cable television.
