University of the Air (TV series)
University of the Air was a daily distance education television program seen early mornings on the CTV Television Network in Canada between October 11, 1965 and 1983; prior to the establishment of 24-hour broadcasting, in most regions it was the first program aired each day, usually at 5:30 or 6 a.m., though it would also turn up at other times. Each episode consisted of a lecture given by a university instructor. Individual episodes of this series were produced locally by CTV affiliates nationwide, for national broadcast on the CTV network under national co-ordinator Nancy Fraser. Previous lectures of this series were also broadcast on TVO and CHCH-TV Hamilton, both as part of TVO's educational television schedule. It was best remembered for its opening/closing title sequence, consisting of a black-bordered hexagonal kaleidoscope background and eerie electronic theme music. In October 2014, the Dalhousie University Archives posted a number of complete episodes dating from 1976 to YouTube featuring Dalhousie lecturers. See also
