Visuals: Similar to the 2004 CPTV logo, but it's much longer, and in the "C" are more clips from their productions. The background colors are slightly repositioned, and the C zooms away a bit further. The station info appears to the right and the "CPTV" text does its usual animation.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An extended version of what he hear in the production counterpart. There are more pianos, and it starts in what sounds like a D major or B-flat chord.

Availability: Used as a local station ID.

Great Coverage (2009-)
TR6sHskOAoc

Visuals: Same as its production counterpart, but the background is darker at the beginning and brightens up gradually. The camera also is closer at the beginning. At the end, station info fades in.

Variants:
 * A local variant exists with longer animation. The background is darker at the beginning and brightens up gradually. The camera also is closer at the beginning. At the end, station info fades in.
 * For their 50th anniversary, the animation is different. We see chips flying around to unveil the logo. The "C" seems to be carved out rather than plastered onto the shape. Below the logo is a big "30" in yellow in front of a few  chips. Below the "50" is "CELEBRATING FIFTY YEARS" in a thin font. Below that is "OF TELEVISION EXCELLENCE" in a much less thin and smaller font.

Technique: The burst of light. Basic, but effective animation.

Audio: A violin piece or a female announcer saying the funding provided for the program.

Availability: Currently used as a local station ID.
