''Night Walk'' was the first in a short but frequently-repeated series of late-night television programs aired on Global in Ontario from 1986 to 1993.〔(''Night Walk'' (etc.) ) at the Canadian Communications Foundation.〕 Despite having a seven-year run on Global, only one episode of ''Night Walk'' was produced, and was repeated nightly during late-night hours.〔 However, it would later be supplemented by similar programs such as ''Night Ride'' and ''Night Moves''.〔"Global serves up some quiet night magic". ''Broadcast Week'', July 2, 1988.〕 Each of the shows was a first-person view of a trip through part of Toronto during the late-night hours, accompanied by jazz music.〔"A late-night ride around the dial: Between reruns and test patterns lies a low-budget pocket of Canadian programs that takes viewers down the parkway and up to the heavens". ''Toronto Star'', November 28, 1987.〕 ''Night Walk'' strolled through the Yorkville district of the city and the Yorkdale subway station;〔 ''Night Ride'' drove down the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway, thence onto King Street and ended in the city's Chinatown;〔 ''Night Moves'' followed Queens Quay to Front Street, ending in a hotel nightclub.〔 ''Night Ride'' also included a brief segment during which the film crew was stopped by a police officer.〔 The program was created by Michael Spivak, then vice-president of production for Global, as a substitute for a test pattern.〔 Spivak, also a hobby composer, wrote the show's musical score.〔 The track was performed by an ensemble consisting of local musicians Guido Basso, Jimmy Dale, Eugene Amaro, Mike Malone, Joe Sealy, Sara Hamilton, David Hamilton and Sharon Lee Williams.〔 Media coverage identified the show's largest audiences as insomniacs and prison inmates.〔"Night Moves: Prison inmates, insomniacs and night owls are among the legions of fans of Global's three hours of T.O. at night". ''Toronto Star'', June 25, 1988.〕 ==See also== * ''Scenes of Newfoundland'' - similar program aired in early mornings on NTV in Newfoundland and Labrador 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Night Walk (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
