I found it on a YouTube video (again, thanks ). I think it was the step to the post-2008 closedown; since it has no voice and just simply a short text. I wonder if this was the end of the animatioin sequence, since the closedown was not full. Anyone ever watched that closedown on TV? I would like to know the full sequence of that closedown.
Sorry for bad quality, my friends.
I remember it. I also remember that after closing down, the channel would play instrumental music with a static picture of the logo all night both on cable and satellite TV. The analogue transmitter would be shut down during these wee hours of the morning
I know it. But, since the closedown animation was incomplete, I wonder if there was more animation after that picture, my friends (the one on YouTube abruptly switched to Discovery near the end of the sequence
I think that’s it. Back then some cable systems would switch to another channel when broadcast ended.
Yeah there were a lot of examples… When did the cablesystems started doing that? When did Canal Trece Satelital began transmit SMS game shows overnight, my friends ?
It started back in the '90s to compensate the fact Argentinian TV stations would only broadcast ~12 hours a day. Cablevisión, for example, timeshared Telefe with Nueva Imagen (Catholic channel) and Canal 9 with Aleph (Jewish channel).
SMS programmes began in 2005. After they ended, around 2am, the satellite feed would show a film, while the Buenos Aires version would closedown.
??? ???
I mean, after a film then some SMS game show stuff will come, right ?
No, it was the other way around. After the midnight news, the SMS programme would start, and then the Buenos Aires transmitter would close. The satellite feed would stay on showing a movie or a series like Law and Order and then closedown around 3:30 or 4am.
And at 3:30 am the satellite feed will abruptly switch to testcard without any sequence, right ?
At that time, they’d show the same closedown sequence that was shown earlier on the Buenos Aires feed, then the testcard.
#curiousity: I wonder if you remember all of these closedown (they’re not on YouTube yet, except for the 2006 one but in very bad quality), my friend.
I can’t find the video where the picture was taken from…
1:03:01
Thank you
That was not the video I meant. I was talking about the one from 2006.
