The Long Dash

From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Proudly Indicating exactly one o'clock, Eastern Standard Time since 1939!

@politicsfisher @OttawaMorning @cbcradio @LaurenceWall a good joke! But of course no one could ever replace this ‘lil Beep!

[Robert Fisher @politicsfisher]

Admit even on April 1st, got roped into believing @OttawaMorning a contest was planned to find a replacement for the '10 seconds' of the time signal as heard on @cbcradio & liked @LaurenceWall suggestion of music from Friendly Giant ...a little zen at 1pm!

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@Gramiq @torygillis @RennieShe @TDellerCBC I’m still here! albeit in the slightly dusty corridors of @cbcradio BEEEEEEEEEEP!

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@EscapedLawyer @patterballs @CBCDay6 @cbcradio thank you! and I don’t sound a day over 50 if I can say so myself!

[CJ Weaver.🐦 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @EscapedLawyer]

@thelongdash Happy 80th to Dashy! (courtesy @patterballs I can't get that moniker out of my head!😁)
It was really interesting to hear this morning on @CBCDay6 about the history of @cbcradio daily marking of one o'clock. #cbcnerd

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@politicsfisher @LaurenceWall it’s always an honour for this Beep to work with the great @LaurenceWall !

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@gnb @CBCStephenQuinn I am indeed proud, and honoured! also make sure to be silent during the six seconds of silence ;-)

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@jennifersalahub Very forgivable. Mothercorp research indicates that most Canadians don’t start listening to CBC Radio until age 52, so no reason you should have known the ins and outs of The Long Dash as a young pup!

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@jennifersalahub but I appreciate the ardent support in this dash :-)

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@jennifersalahub Not true, It’s actually 1pm only in Eastern time! #themoreyouknow

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@dawno317 @cbcradio Indeed! Perhaps a late start, depending on your time zone, but a start nonetheless! BEEEEEEEP!

[Mike Wood @mike_wood]

Ahhh... I finally caught the 1PM @cbcradio 'The beginning of the long dash' time signal. Watch is now properly calibrated. #ItsaCanadianThing #timesignal #AlittleOCD #CBCradio

[The Long Dash @thelongdash]

@EscapedLawyer @CBC @cbcdebaters @cbcdebaters is a great show! Always makes this long CBC dash smile :D

[CJ Weaver.🐦 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @EscapedLawyer]

@thelongdash great shout-out to "Dashy" the @CBC mascot on today's @cbcdebaters ! Happily, the pro-mascot side won!! :D #longlivethelongdash

[Parks Canada @ParksCanada]

@YEGbeerjudge @thenfb @thelongdash That's a great combo!

[YEG Beer Judge @YEGbeerjudge]

Between @thenfb @thelongdash and @ParksCanada I have all my childhood Canadian nostalgia covered on twitter

A look back on Canada’s favourite time indicating dash from 1995 - featuring a cameo from @RogersShelagh ! https://t.co/wtc2GEEkYC @cbcradio

@cbcradio @auxonic @MichaelSuddard and 2:30 for our good friends in Newfoundland!

[CBC Radio @cbcradio]

@auxonic @MichaelSuddard I think the @thelongdash would appreciate this conversation...

[Frau Blucher of The North 🇨🇦 @happyerinb]

@CBC The fact that @thelongdash has its own twitter page makes life worth living
