The CBC's longest running program is the long dash, the National Research Counsel's time signal, broadcast daily at 1pm Eastern time to help keep local timekeeping in sync. This signal was broadcast for the last time on October 9th, 2023. This short tribute to the most iconic & longest running Canadian beep was commissioned by Isaac Page & Tom Allen.
