“Tiny Talent Time” was a Channel 11 mainstay for an unbelievable 35 years (!). From 1957 to 1992 this was Canada’s most-watched kiddie talent show on HAMILTON’s ‘super station’, CHCH. Produced on a shoestring, first in black and white and then in colour, the half hour telecast was packed with tap dancers, pint-sized magicians and amateurish vocalisers.

Affable TV weatherman BILL LAWRENCE, encouraged the youngsters to do their best in front of the cameras – and they did it with gusto.

“Tiny Talent Time” is coming back – probably next summer – as CHCH celebrates it 60th year serving the TORONTO/Hamilton market. Casting begins in 2015.  <PHOTOS – CHCH-TV>
