Canal 9 description (WORK IN PROGRES)

Background: Canal 9 is an Argentine television network based in Buenos Aires, formed in 1960 with the callsign LS 83. It began color broadcasting in 1980. Following a re-privatization, the station was renamed as "Canal 9 Libertad". In 1997 Australian broadcaster Prime Television bought all of the station, then onsold half of it for US$74 million. In response to a ratings fall, the channel rebranded massively from Canal 9 Libertad to Azul Televisión. The Azul brand lasted until 2002, when the channel reverted back to it's original name, Canal 9.<embed allowfullscreen="true" height="215" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/3c758b39238084a695b645e43768be82a1c55c66" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="215" wmode="transparent"/>Canal 91st Logo(1980-1984)Logo: On a blue background, the futuristic text "CANAL" glides in from above and rests. 4 shades of blue appear in it one by one and 2 lights trace a blue 9 with a arrow on it, which appears a second later. The 9 shines and the info appears beside it.Variant: There may be a earlier version with "COLOR" instead that existed til 1982, but there is no evidence if that exists.FX/SFX: The words.Music/Sounds: Either a proud synth fanfare or aominoussynth drone and piano tune.Availability: Extinct.Scare Factor: None to low.2nd Logo(1984)Logo: On a black background, 4 pairs of thick blue lines intersect and a space background is revealed, with a silver 9 with a green dot in it rotating to the screen. The 9 stops rotating and the info wipes in below.FX/SFX: The rotating.Music/Sounds: A synth tune with the announcer.Availability: Extinct.Scare Factor: None.3rd Logo(1984-1987) Logo: On a blue background, we see the text: ACARSEY-WERNERPRODUCTION in a typewriter-like font, also used in The Cosby Show closing credits. The copyright stamp is seen above. After this text is shown, we see this text: InAssociationWithBILL COSBY Variants: On The Cosby Show pilot episode, the text is scrolling up in the end credits, then the credit to Bill Cosby would appear on a blue background. On early season 4 episodes of The Cosby Show and the remainder of the 1st season of A Different World, the text "SUPERVISING EXECUTIVE, CARYN MANDABACH" appears above the text. On the 2nd episode of A Different World (which was actually the pilot episode itself), the font was even smaller. FX/SFX: None except for the scrolling up on The Cosby Show pilot variant.Music/Sounds: Plays over the end theme.Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on seasons 1-early season 4 episodes of The Cosby Show on DVD. It was seen on TV Land's reruns of the show until 2014 were they pulled the show due to the sex scandal involving Bill Cosby. This version was also used on the 1st season of A Different World, except it uses the font from the closing credits of A Different World that's currently rerunning on TV One.Scare Factor: None.4th Logo(1987-1997) Logo: On a blue background, we see the text: ACARSEY-WERNERPRODUCTION in a Serif font. Sometimes, "CARYN MANDABACH Supervising Producer" or "CARYN MANDABACH Supervising Executive" is seen under the company's name. Under it is the copyright stamp.Variants: At the end of 1987-1992 episodes of The Cosby Show, and the 1987-1993 episodes of A Different World, the in-credit for Bill Cosby's production company (known as just "Bill Cosby" in the logo) follows after the Carsey-Werner logo, reading "In Association With BILL COSBY" in the same font as the Carsey-Werner title. From 1989-1991 on The Cosby Show, the copyright stamp mistakenly said "© [YEAR] The Carsey-Werner Show. All Rights Reserved." instead of "The Carsey-Werner Company". For Roseanne in 1994, an "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" title would appear (with the IAW being in the same font as the font used in Carsey-Werner), with the same blue background, but in a yellow font. Then, the logo would appear as usual with a slight difference: the name was slightly changed. The words "A" and "Production" are replaced by the words "THE" and "COMPANY", and it was referred to as "THE CARSEY-WERNER COMPANY". This was due to the fact that Roseanne Barr's then-new production company "Full Moon and High Tide Productions" was seen before the C-W logo. This was only seen on seasons 7-9 of Roseanne. The copyright stamp wasn't shown on the final season of the mentioned show. It is unknown if other Carsey-Werner shows (such as Grace Under Fire) use this variant. FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: Plays over the end theme.Availability: Common. Seen intact on later episodes of The Cosby Show on DVD, It was seen on TV Land's reruns of the show until they pulled the show due to the sex scandal involving Bill Cosby. Can also be seen on A Different World on TV One, Roseanne on TV Land and local syndication, and the first two seasons of Grace Under Fire. On Hulu's prints of Davis Rules, this logo is not shown due to the program fading out before the logo is shown with two exceptions: the episodes "Twisted Sister" and "Sign of the Times".Scare Factor: None.5th Logo(1995-2000) Nicknames: "The Carsey-Werner TV Set", "Carsey-Werner on TV", "Carsey-Werner Television"Logo: On a white background, we see a teal green TV set and on the screen is: CARSEYWERNER The screen has one half teal green where "CARSEY" reads, while the other half is blue where "WERNER" reads.Variants: On S1 and early S2 episodes of Cybill, there is a copyright stamp for YBYL Productions reading "© [YEAR] YBYL Productions, Inc. – All Rights Reserved" underneath this logo. Original broadcast ABC episodes of Roseanne from 1995 (only the last five episodes from the season 7) had this logo, with an IAW screen, but with a tan-colored background, and then switched to the logo, with Caryn Mandabach's name, and "Supervising Executive" at the bottom of the logo. This did not last too long before switching back to the previous logo above (with the 1994 variant) within the April-May 1995 episodes. This can be seen on syndicated episodes as well. In syndication, the text "DISTRIBUTION LLC" is seen below the TV set. Under that is the copyright stamp. FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: Plays over the end theme or none. On some shows, the Paramount TV theme is heard, probably due to sloppy editing.Availability: Fairly common. Still intact on syndicated prints of Roseanne, which now airs on TV Land and some CW affiliates and Cosby on UP. Also seen on Grace Under Fire and Cybill.Scare Factor: None to minimal.6th Logo(January 9, 1996-May 22, 2001) Nickname: "The 3rd Rock Logo" Logo: We see a planet base taken place in space with a planet in the background, and a rock flies throughout. THE CARSEY-WERNER CO. is shown at the bottom of the screen.

Remains intact on 3rd Rock from the Sun on Reelz Channel and syndication.Scare Factor: Minimal.7th Logo(August 23, 1998-May 18, 2006)Nicknames: "That '70s Show Logo", "The Carsey-Werner License Plate", "America's Dairyland"Logo: We see a dark yellow license plate on a car. On the top of the license plate reads "AMERICA'S DAIRYLAND", which is Wisconsin's motto, thus the state for dairy, and under it is "CARSEY-WERNER". Under the name is "WISCONSIN". To the left of "WISCONSIN" is the abbreviation of the month that the license plate expires ("DEC" for December). To the right is a license plate sticker with a small outline of the state of Wisconsin, and an expiration date for a year in the 1970s (for example, "79" for 1979 in the photo above). This date varies depending when the episode takes place.FX/SFX: Just the car moving up and down.Music/Sounds: Plays over the That '70s Show end theme.Availability: Uncommon. Seen on That '70s Show on Nick @ Nite, ABC Family, and local stations.Scare Factor: None.8th Logo(1998- ) Nickname: "The Diamond"Logo: On a white background, we see two lines, with "CARSEY-WERNER" (used in a capitalized Trajan Pro font until the early 2000s, currently used in a lowercase Trebuchet MS font) is shown with a pyramidal diamond which takes place of the hyphen, shown between the two lines. Under it is "COMPANY, LLC".Variants: Sometimes, it had "MANDABACH" under "CARSEY-WERNER". In syndication, it would be read as "DISTRIBUTION, LLC". On Cosby, the same would happen as the standard syndicated version, but with "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" above it, and the <a class="external" href="http://www.carseywerner.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carsey-Werner</a> website under it.On Days Like These, the UK remake of That 70s Show, it has the "CARSEY-WERNER" with diamond and lines moved upwards and appears smaller. Below that is a coat of arms shield with a smiling yellow drama mask (representing comedy) on the upper left on a silver background, on the upper right is a yellow lion (facing left) on a blue background, and the the bottom of the shield is the lion from before, this time facing right and the right has a crying drama mask (representing tragedy), but the same concept as the other drama mask. Below the shield is "BY APPOINTMENT" and below that is "Purveyors of Fine Comedy" which is sandwiched between two lines. Below that is a small Roman numeral year. And finally at the bottom is a copyright notice "© That 70s Company Limited 1999". All the text is in blue. This version is called "The Shield". FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme of the show.Availability: Common. It's seen on newer prints of The Cosby Show on local syndication and Centric, A Different World on TV One, and Cosby on UP, among others, and if you have luck, on the short-lived cartoon God, the Devil & Bob. Appears on the first season of Grounded for Life, later seasons have the "Mandabach" variant. The shield logo is extinct outside of old recordings.Scare Factor: None.9th Logo(January 23-May 29, 2002)Nicknames: "That '80s Show Logo", "The Carsey-Werner Pinball"Logo: We see in what appears to be a record store, a vinyl record in its sleeve on a middle shelf. The cover has a gray pinball sitting on a black and white tile floor with two windows on either side each with a cloud background. At the top of the cover are the words, "CARSEY*WERNER" and a small diamond in between the two words, and "MANDABACH" below.FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: Plays over the ending theme of the show. When originally shown on Fox, the Fox fanfare was heard over it.Availability: Extremely rare. It was seen on the short-lived That '80s Show. Its unlikely that it will ever be reran again on any network or get the home video treatment. Check those old tapes for the logo.Scare Factor: None.10th Logo (2004-?)Nicknames: "The Diamond II", "3D Diamond"Logo: On a blue background, the 3D words "Carsey-Werner" sandwiched in-between two lines (and in the same lowercase Trebuchet MS font as the 6th logo), with a pyramidal diamond taking place of the hyphen flips in on-screen. After it finishes, the background becomes white and the logo shines. Everything is in CGI.FX/SFX: The words flipping. Not bad for 2004!Music/Sounds: None.Availability: Common. It's seen on DVDs of That '70s Show and Roseanne.Scare Factor: Low. The sudden appearance of the logo may startle you.
