Speaking of American presentation, here are a couple of U.S. closedowns / sign-offs from the same era as the Canadian clip above:

*sigh* Wink Well the call signs starts with a 'C' which is Canadian, whereas American stations start with a 'K' or 'W'.

Actually no C is not Canadian. Canada uses CB, CF, CH, CI, CJ, CK and a few grandfathered VO's in Newfoundland for TV and Radio.

CB is actually Chillane but Canada got special use of it for CBC I think?

The Dutch third public channel, Nederland 3, changed their look all of a sudden. Well, changed, the logo returned back to about ten years ago (and some of the idents if you look closely).

The name will change as well, but later. NPO, the Dutch public broadcaster, announced channel names will change from Nederland 1, 2 and 3 to NPO 1, 2 and 3. It is not yet known when they'll change the name.

As it was mentioned on The Newsroom, RTVV (Ràdio Televisió Valenciana, "Valencian Radio Television"), the public-service broadcaster in the Valencian Community, Spain, has rebranded itself and all of its services on October 9th, Valencian Community Day. The new look was designed in-house.

For example, its main channel, Canal 9 ("Canal Nou") is now called simply "Nou" (or, for disambiguation purposes, since all of RTVV's services use the "Nou" brand, "Nou Televisió").

Here's the program about Nou's new lineup, in its entirety, and their first transition with their new look:

In Finland, MTV3 and all of its sister channels are getting a new look on Sunday, as the whole corporation gets a major makeover. The main corporation, MTV Media, will be known simply as MTV (sounds quite familiar, right?) and the on-air look has also been "inspired" by another broadcaster. Judge for yourselves.

From West Germany, here's a 1980s ARD ident showing the logos of all the regional ARD broadcasters coming together to form the ARD logo:

All of the ARD member broadcasters have changed logos since then, some have merged (SDR and SWF merged in 1998 to form SWR, for instance), and new members serving the former East German states have joined.

And here's an example of a regional ARD ident from that period -- the ARD network logo flipping around to reveal the SFB logo:



(SFB -- Sender Freies Berlin -- was the ARD broadcaster serving West Berlin. It eventually merged with ORB, which was set up after reunification to serve the surrounding state of Brandenburg. The merged broadcaster is now known as RBB).

And this is the updated version from after reunification.

That ARD look, which debuted in 1984, lasted for positively ages - until about 1997 - it was the first after ARD dropped their "eye" look they had been using since their inception, the first to incorporate the numeral "1" (which they have used in one form or another since), and the first to call the channel "Erstes Deutsches Fernsehen" instead of just "Deutsches Fernsehen" - this would be shortened to "Das Erste" with the 1997 look although this being Germany, the Taggeschau (main evening news) is still to this day introduced as being on "Erstes Deutches Fernsehen", for tradition's sake. (Though never mind what they call the channel on-screen, any German newspaper or TV listings magazine I have ever seen just calls it ARD).

Too bad that the regional logos disappear almost immediately in this version. I suppose they no longer fit nicely into the ARD logo.

From TROS in the Netherlands, here's an ident and an in-vision continuity announcement, 1981:

There is another version of the ARD ident I've seen, where the logos make up the '1' as before, but then the regional logos come from of screen to form a circle around the '1'.

Speaking of ARD, here's a recent joint promo for ARD and ZDF (in other words, public broadcasting in Germany), focusing on their news and talk output:
