International Presentation

The public broadcaster of Albania has launched a staggered rebrand throughout the festive period.

The idents have changed with programming including news changing over in the next few days....




Meanwhile, Cyprus's RIK has launched new idents with a refreshed news identity also coming soon..

I happened to see that Macau's TDM Canal Macau was airing Brazilian telenovela Os Ricos também Choram from SBT (which is a remake of Los ricos también lloran from Mexico's Televisa): It was recorded from RTP Internacional's airing, with a logo celebrating 50 years of television in Portugal stamped on it.

Anyway, some of TDM presentations from 1980s:




I don't know why, but Lusitania TV on YouTube happens to have more 80s clips of TDM in Macau, as well as ATV and TVB in Hong Kong.

Fast forward to 2010s, that particular TDM jingle is still in use as of 2012...



... and even today.



Is that jingle an original piece, or a library track?

Canal Macau uses different jingle, though. (From 0:29)

Wonder if in Oslo, someone at the national public broadcaster is looking at that logo and going "hmmm"

Compilation of the opening sequences of Show da Virada , Globo's annual New Year's Eve concert (recorded a month or two in advance, but featuring, throughout the broadcast, live highlights of the New Year celebrations across Brazil):

Viakenny, why does the Show da Virada concert is made pre-recorded but the celebrations are live? I thought that the whole show was live. Also how long does Show da Virada run, counting the various time zones and how large Brazil is. Anyway I'm not interested with the show.

The final advert break of the year 1999 on Rede Globo


The ident that appeared before the "final advert break", but without the announcement

The concert itself is pre-recorded (until three years ago, the concert was recorded over two nights, usually in São Paulo, but sometimes in Rio de Janeiro, but now they record the concenrt over one night, on a massive stage, each year in a different city - the 2016 edition was recorded in Salvador, the 2017 edition, in Goiânia, and the 2018 edition, in Belo Horizonte), but there's live coverage of the celebrations across the country at the start or the end of each commercial break and, just before midnight in the Brasília time zone, the broadcast is interrupted for a live broadcast of the celebrations, including the Copacabana fireworks display and, after that, some cities, such as São Paulo and Brasília, get a few minutes of extra coverage, with some of the events happening live at the respective cities, and, after that, Show da Virada resumes.
On states not observing Brazilian Summer Time (such as the northeastern states), the show is interrupted once again just before midnight on local time, for live coverage of the celebrations across the time zone and, after that, the pre-recorded Show da Virada continues.

However, their sister network GloboNews offered live, wall-to-wall coverage of the celebrations and some of the concerts happening there.
Band aired the Festival Virada Salvador , live from the capital of Bahia, including coverage of the celebrations at midnight in the Brasília and Salvador time zones.
SBT didn't air special programming nationally, but their owned-and-operated station in Rio de Janeiro covered the local celebrations live from midnight.
At Record TV it was business as usual, with no live coverage of the celebrations at all.

Here's the handover from TDM's Portuguese channel to RTP Asia (in the first video) and back again to TDM (in the second video).
The ribbon used by TDM reminds me of TVB's idents of the 2010s.

I found 4 stations in four countries using same look. Library perhaps?
WBAY-TV in Green Bay, WI, USA:

TVNZ Network Two (Now TVNZ2) in New Zealand:

ATV Diamond in Hong Kong:

BBTV Ch7 in Thailand:

I presume these were the stations that use the same pink bar graphic of the late 1980s. So most likely library stuff, but not in the context of production music but the graphics.
The second and third ones were uploaded in the late 2000s, so we might have already know them.
The Thailand one makes me realise that Thailand's TV design is far ahead slightly of my country's Malaysia's.
Any video for the Thailand one? And I guess they're used much later in the early 1990s than the first three?

Each year, RTP1 (the main channel of Portugal's public service broadcaster), showcases the work of Portuguese contemporary artists on their idents. The chosen ones for 2018 are Fernanda Fragateiro and Noiserv:

In 2017, the RTP1 idents were designed by João Paulo Feliciano:

And, in 2016, when this project started, Alexandre Manuel Dias Farto, a.k.a. Vhils, was chosen to design the RTP1 idents:

A little dull but certainly better than anything Martin Parr could hope to come up with.

Could be quite a nice idea for BBC Four, whenever that gets a refresh, to have each of its idents made by a different artist.
