PTV4

Background: People's Television Network is a government-owned television station launched on February 2, 1974, as the Government Television (GTV). It was renamed as Maharlika Broadcasting System (MBS) in 1980, and was renamed again as New TV 4 in 1986 (only for two months), during the People Power Revolution.

1st (known) Logo (1977-1980)
Nickname(s): "Because Our Viewers Count A Lot"

Logo: In a light-colored (color is still unknown, presumed green) background (on top), we see the words "GTV Network" stacked on top of each other inside a TV tube, and below it are the words "BROADCAST PLAZA" in a darker-colored background (on the bottom). It later cuts to showcase several provincial/regional television stations. GTV 3 Cebu and GTV 4 Bacolod are the only ones with its own logos. It later cuts to a text reading, "Because Our Viewers Count A Lot" (which was their slogan at the time).

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A funky tune with a calm announcer.

Availability: Ultra Rare. The logo was in full grayscale and it is unknown if there was a color variant of this logo.
