In 1976, American Forces Radio in Iran was replaced, on the behest of the Shah, by a NIRT-run English-speaking station with mostly American and British DJs and hosts. The service lasted until the Islamic Revolution. Here's a sample:

Some videos from martial law era-Philippines that I found:

GMA 1980s (plug in for President Marcos, look out for the Circle 7 at 0:37):


City 2 ident (the station that replaced ABS-CBN while still closed; some examples of mixed scanimate and 3D animation):


ABS-CBN ident and programme slide, a year after return on the air after the end of martial law. The ident doesn't feel like 3D animated but the background is scanimate. The way they use the programme title and the station logo only reminds me of Hong Kong TV's. The ident is in English but the programme slide is in Filipino:

That second programme, the one from KTCA is genuinely the most fascinating programme I've watched in ages. Thank you for sharing. Interesting on many counts, from seeing the soviet tv footage in the first place to wondering why the us station chose the clips they chose and the studio debate following each segment and the way they covered it.

Since the first clip was filmed by Russian and American crews I assume the footage was used there in someway.
