PlayCable in Canada (Intellivisionairies podcast)

[mr_me]

I wasn't sure if PlayCable was available in Canada although I do remember seeing it on television. Then I came across the Intellivisionairies Podcast Episode 6. Where there's a few PlayCable clips; one that was recorded in Canada. I tried to find the source but the link was dead. I did find this posting from someone who vaguely remembers PlayCable in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta in 1982 http://www.cgcc.ca/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1421&p=12696&hilit=playcable#p12696.

 

Like I said there's a few different clips on the podcast at the noted time (2:07:17). One sounds like someone demonstrating baseball and football (could it be Leonard Nimoy?). Another sounds like a PlayCable commercial. Another sounds like a live seminar on PlayCable. And another sounds like a generic Intellivision commercial.

 

So I am asking the Intellivisionairies, what exactly are all those clips in the podcast? Which one is the Canadian clip?

 

And if anyone knows anything about PlayCable in Canada please comment.

I saw a bunch of PlayCable units sitting in a cable company in the east end of Hamilton, Ontario in the early 90s. I wanted one but on reflection should have asked a manager.

 

So, I know they were in Hamilton at one point.

We'll need Paul to chime in here with more info about his audio clips.

Was that Cogeco, Mountain Cablevision, or Source Cable?
