Canal 8 Mar del Plata

1st ID (early/mid 1980s-1988)



Visuals: On a night background, the camera pans up to reveal the skyline of a red and purple-tinted city with some searchlights scanning the sky. The camera them zooms towards the skyline until it's close enough, at which point it pans up to the sky, with the searchlights briefly remaining visible. The screen then fades to a blue-black background as a flash forms a blue "8". The text " L.R.I. 486 TV CANAL 8 Mar del Plata" flies in and briefly stops under the "8" before flying away, while the names of the network's substations ("CANAL 13 Tandil", "CANAL 45 Olavarria", "CANAL 13 Bolivar", "CANAL 6 De la Costa" and "CANAL 9 Benito Juarez") appear around it.

Variant: The ID was tweaked in the late 1980s: the text "L.R.I. 486 TV CANAL 8 Mar del Plata" is now white and not in italics, the station names are in all-caps, and the station name "CANAL 12 GRAL. GUIDO" is added. This was first used when the station for General Guido was launched.

Technique: Unknown

Audio: A majestic and somewhat ominous synth theme with an announcer saying "Transmite L.R.I. 486 Televisión Canal 8 desde Mar del Plata, provincia de Buenos Aires, Republica Argentina, y sus estaciones repetidoras Canal 13 de Tandil, Canal 45 de Olavarria, Canal 13 de Bolivar, Canal 6 de la Costa y Canal 9 de Benito Juarez." ("L.R.I. 486 Television Channel 8 broadcasts from Mar del Plata, province of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, and its repeater stations Channel 13 of Tandil, Channel 45 of Olavarria, Channel 13 of Bolivar, Channel 6 of De La Costa and Channel 9 of Benito Juarez.").

Audio Variant: In the later variant, the name "Canal 12 de General Guido" is added to the list of station names at the end of the announcer spiel.



2nd ID (1988-1995?)


Visuals: Unknown

Variant: There's a variant where after the ID is fully formed, it transitions to a green map of Mar del Plata with "Y SUS REPETIDORAS" ("AND ITS REPEATERS") appearing above it and moving behind it, while the stations (represented by satellite dishes and their respective station names) appear one by one, with the Canal 8 logo located on the main station.

Technique: 3D animation.

Audio: A depressing synth theme with the announcer saying "En el aire, Canal 8, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina." ("On air, Channel 8, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina.").

Audio Variant: In the extended variant, the announcer spiel is extended to "En el aire, Canal 8, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, y sus repetidoras: Canal 13 de Tandil, Olavarria, Canal 13 de Bolivar, Canal 6 de la Costa, Canal 9 de Benito Juarez, Canal 12 de General Guido y Canal 2 de Necochea." ("On air, Channel 8, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and its repeaters: Channel 13 of Tandil, Channel 45 of Olavarria, Channel 13 of Bolivar, Channel 6 of De La Costa, Channel 9 of Benito Juarez, Channel 12 of General Guido and Channel 2 of Necochea.").
