City Limits (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City Limits was a Canadian television series, which aired on Citytv and later MuchMusic in the 1980s. Airing on Fridays at midnight, the program aired alternative music videos. An indispensable resource for fans of interesting music, this programme helped usher in the 90's trend towards alternative music.
The program was originally hosted by Christopher Ward, and later by Kim Clarke Champniss. When the program was aired on CITY in the early 1980s, Mike Myers made several appearances, including performing as Wayne Campbell (see Wayne's World).
After alternative rock's commercial breakthrough in the early 1990s, the series was cancelled and replaced by the daily series The Wedge. The Wedge offered a much more commercially palatable set in accordance with its daytime scheduling and thus lacked the edge of its predecessor.
