message: I heard on the main CBC article that The National was going to go HD later this year, could we get some sources on that? ViperSnake151 00:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the 22.00 ET edition a mere replay/rebroadcast of the 21.00 edition seen live on CBC Newsworld and the Atlantic region? --122.54.55.9 (talk) 12:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: With the rebranding on Monday it appears that the the name of the show has changed from CBC News:The National back to just "The National"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.118.53 (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Everything at http://www.cbc.ca/thenational/ leads me to believe that the official name is simply The National, though I can't find any official documents, press releases, etc that specifically state the official name. If you can provide a ref with the most official name, then the page should be located there (within reason; Wikipedia:Naming conventions still apply). -M.Nelson (talk) 15:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Interesting; must be cool to work for CBC in that area. On topic, do you think that it would be appropriate to just change the title in the prose ("CBC News The National is the CBC's flagship national television newscast."), or should the article in fact be moved to CBC News The National? I'd lean towards keeping it where it is presently (with prose change above) as it is the most commonly used form. -M.Nelson (talk) 16:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

text: The title in the intro reflects this now. -M.Nelson (talk) 19:35, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Still in the lede but since the show is being promoted as The National (and given the CBC guy's comments) I think the title of the article should be The National. 141.117.225.1 (talk) 23:17, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change 

message: The section reads, in part: "On January 11, 1982, the CBC relaunched The National with a radically different format and presentation style that looked very hi-tech for its time. The intro started with a map of the world superimposed on a cube which began to rotate, splitting into smaller cubes as it did. The final rotation revealed the title of the show in shiny chrome lettering using the font Stop. The synthesized opening music featured a fanfare played by The Canadian Brass, called The National."
The Canadian Brass (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Brass) was a brass quintet (musicians playing actual brass instruments), so why is the theme music described as "synthesized?" []
Suggestion: A revision that says the opening music began with a fanfare, played by The Canadian Brass, which lead into electronic music produced on a synthesiser (if that was in intent of the current statement).
