A piece of broadcasting history came down today.

The original CBC-TV tower at Jarvis and Carleton Sts. — the "Eiffel on Jarvis" as one newspaper dubbed it — was the site of the first Canadian television signals that went out over the airwaves nearly 50 years ago on Sept. 8, 1952.

Its demise began in 1976, when the CBC moved its signals to the CN Tower.
