University of the Air (TV series)
- University of the Air (TV series)
"University of the Air" was a daily educational television program seen early mornings on the CTV Television Network in Canada between 1966 and 1983; prior to the establishment of 24-hour broadcasting, in most regions it was the first program aired each day, usually at 5:30 or 6 a.m., though it would also turn up at other times. Each episode consisted of a lecture given by a university instructor.
It was best remembered for its opening/closing title sequence, consisting of a black-bordered hexagonal kaleidoscope background and eerie theme music.
