Metromedia Television

(1971-1978)
Logo: On a black background, many and pink outlines of "M"s shuffle back and forth, taking up most of the screen. They zoom out, revealing "A SERVICE OF" in yellow, and the much larger "METROMEDIA TELEVISION", before the M copies disappear and 2 more appear on the right in blue, one of them being a cut-out. They slide to the left, revealing the station's channel number as the lines in them become solid blue. This causes the bottom text to wipe away to the station name and area they served as the channels number turns, then green, then back to white.

Variant: There's a still version of the logo, where the logo is already formed.

Technique: Traditional animation done by Edstan Studio.

Audio: A funky bass line with a flute heard throughout. A group of singers then sing "Metro. Media. Television" and the channel's number, with the last line being repeated until the logo fades out.

Audio Trivia: The logo's audio was sampled in "Palace Posy" by.

Audio/Variant: Sometimes, an announcer (possibly from a promo) is heard.

Availability: The "11" version appeared on in Los Angeles, California and WTCN-TV (now ) in St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota, while the "19" version appeared on  in Cincinnati, Ohio (also licensed to Newport, Kentucky). The "5" version appeared on in Washington, D.C.

Legacy: The funky music can make this a favorite for some.
