The rising optimism of the United States after a recession, the first mobile phones, the ARPANET, but also a nuclear close call. This is the remake of Station IDs during the year 1983, showing the station animation ident logos from television channels all across the world.

17:27 The jingle used isn't necessarily the 'ARD' jingle, though it was a jingle used by the ARD member broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) as a radio interval signal. The ARD ident in the 70's would occasionally do this with variants of the ident having other broadcasters' jingles playing too.

Great remake of a classic that started it all! I’m quite flattered that I was able to help contribute in a way to this nice compilation of IDs from the early 80s.. I do enjoy this formatting better, as compared to the one used in your earlier videos.

8:00 What an incredible intro 22:15 70s Vremya song but happy. 23:21 inb4 people who say that this was used on the 50s Indonesian EAS (which is not) 25:38 I always wanted to watch XHTV before 2010, since then it became an only news channel. 26:07 XHMT used the same leitmotif for all of its IDs at the beginning of the 80s. 26:26 One of the few remnants of the years prior to IMEVISION, sadly much of the footage before '93 has been wiped out. 27:01 So Mexico wasn't the only country to use pre-Hispanic art for its IDs. 33:33 I agree that this looks and sounds fanmade, without any analog artifacts. 35:18 The Pastricka song is really beautiful 37:09 I think this works better than their attempt to make a news intro. 37:15 I actually thought that because of being recorded through DXing, it sounded weird. It's still as weird in good quality. (And I think the 80s ID was more creative than the modern one)

[@YerassylKh]

23:48 this static ident was used only in 1990s, and probably earlier but there isn't much evidence at all as we have almost no any footage from regional kazakh tv from 1970s/1980s btw station name you wrote is wrong, at that time so-called "Saryarqa TV" was named as "Karaganda Television (Studio)" (nowadays it is "Saryarqa"), it was broadcasting from Karaganda, not from Tselinograd, because they had its own TV station (Tselinograd Television)

[@JhonatasXavier]

The 1983 NBC theme, in 1:27, have been copied by Brazilian businessman Silvio Santos in your TV station, the Brazilian TV System (portuguese: Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão - SBT).

[@ricardobento6474]

This case is not a copy. SBT was a longtime customer of NBC series and films, so the American channel offered campaigns for SBT a few years after its launch in the USA. The Brazilian channel bought two or three campaigns and adapted them between the 80s and early 90s.

[@vaporcranberries]

@@damson498thanks for your information

[@ricardobento6474]

There is this little confusion. The Monte Carlo channel in Uruguay plagiarized some id's from Globo, but as they bought several soap operas from the Brazilian channel, I believe that plagiarism was allowed. At the same time, in the 1980s, Globo bought the Italian-speaking TeleMontecarlo, transforming it into a Monegasque Globo.

You used only a fragment of 1983 opening ident of RAI! Also, this ident is a version used before 1985, when RAI logo became 3D and their channels rebranded to have it, but these logos didn't had the 3D symbols (e.g. Rai 1 had blue ball) as part of their official logos until 1988.

[@igorsiuda8108]

You also missed the TP2's one, which, like, at this time, TP1, also had a still ident, using the same logo as latter, but with digit changed to two. In 1983, it also had a secondary striped logo like that: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_TVP2_z_lat_1981-1987.png.
