Southern Oregon Public Television

Background
Southern Oregon PBS is a PBS network for the region of southwest Oregon, based in Medford.

1st Logo (February 20, 1985-March 2, 1986?)
Nickname: "The Scanimation Mountain"

Logo: The word "KSYS" is in white with blue mountains superimposed on the intro of a show. Under "KSYS" is "8", "MEDFORD" and the PBS logo, all of which are in a light gray-white color. The mountains and text then "melts" very slowly.

FX/SFX: The melting.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme to the show

Availability: Extinct. This logo was found very recently, and can be found on episodes of "Downtown Gazette" on the American Archive for Public Broadcasting.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo (2004-2012)
Nickname: "The SOPTV Ocean", "Connecting Our Community"

Logo: On a sunset background, we see the letter "SO" slowly slides to the left of the screen. At the same time, we see the word "SOPTV", with the word "SO" is in green and brown, flips in. Then we see the 2002 P-Head animating, and the word "A Presentation of" and "Connecting Our Community" both fades in           one-by-one below and above the word "SOPTV".

FX/SFX: The flipping, the sliding, the fading and the P-Head animating. Nice animation for the 2004.

Music/Sounds: A chime sound, then followed by a nice flute theme.

Availability: Seen on some programmes from the time, such as Immense Possibilities.

Editor's Note: This is a very nice and relaxing logo.
