What Stampeding with CBC looked like 60 years ago ... and today

Do you recognize anyone in this photo of CBC staff and personalities taken 60 years ago — on July 11, 1956 — at the CBC Stampede Studio at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede grounds?

Do you recognize these CBC cowpokes from the Calgary Stampede in 1956?

Do you recognize any of the CBC staff in this photo taken six decades ago — on July 11, 1956 — at the CBC Stampede Studio at the Calgary Stampede?

If you think you can identify someone in this picture, email us at: [email protected].

We thought it would be fun to recreate the shot with today's CBC Calgary personalities, who are still rocking that Stampede style. 

So we gathered them up after the CBC Calgary Co-op Stampede Breakfast, which took place on July 7, 2016.

Can you ID the current crop of cowpokes in the photo below?

Technology may change but the Western spirit lives on….
