When the logo reaches its full size, lightning strikes with a stock sound effect appear. The text "Pirate Cat Television" appears, with each word animating from the centre of the screen. Then, the text "Broadcast 13" appears in the same fashion. Followed by "Taking Back" and then "Our Airwaves!" The pirate cat logo appears again, followed by another flash of lightning. The logo then shrinks, in a reversed version of the beginning of the logo. Mark Gunnion appears on a screen and says "Pirate Cat Television". Then a shot of a 1990s CRT TV covered in spinning text saying "FREE TV" followed by a wailing noises, flashing, and spinning lights in the centre of the screen. Mark Gunnion appears again, screaming, as the wailing continues, while the screen is covered with the text "13 San Francisco" fading in and out.
