1st ID (1990)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a yellow word "TV" above. A light ray then flies in and reveals itself to be a white grid. Pieces of a map then fly in, connect and flip, forming a globe afterwards. A yellow number "53" with a segmented trail fades in with a dissolving effect, and the grid shines. The yellow station name wipes in and white words "CLEVELAND CHATTANOOGA DALTON" in a stacked format appear one by one. Lavender and red lines then wipe in in the center. The aforementioned words dissapear, and slightly tilted yellow words "Watch Us!" appear.

Technique: Computer animation and CGI.

Audio: An ascending warbling synth note, followed by an upbeat synth tune. An announcer can be heard saying "Watch us!".
