Background
JOFX-DTV is the main callsign of the Japanese TV station Tōkai Television Broadcasting (Tokai TV), headquartered in Nagoya. It is one of the main channels serving the Tōkai subregion. It was founded on February 1, 1958, commencing TV broadcasts on December 25, 1958, as Japan's 17th private television station.
1st ID (December 25, 1958-1965?)
Visuals: On a white background, there is a map of Japan that zooms into the Tōkai region. Just before it finishes zooming in, a circle with a white outline appears. Then, the number "1" appears, getting bigger as a white circle fills in the outlined circle. After the white circle finishes filling in the outlined circle, the text "Channel" appears and a bigger outlined white circle appears. A translucent white circle fills in part of the area of the outlined circle and after that, "1" and "Channel" appear again. Another translucent circle fills in the remainder of the area. After that, the text "JOFX-TV" in a geometric font appears and zooms in, while the circles disappear. Finally, the JOFX-TV text is replaced by "東海テレビ".
Technique: Camera-controlled animation for the zooming, with cel animation being used for the other parts.
Audio: A patriotic march with an announcer saying "JOFX-TV 第1チャンネル 東海テレビ放送です" at the end.
2nd ID (Opening, January 1, 1978-December 31, 1986)
Visuals: The ident starts with the skyline of Nagoya zooming into a transmission tower, later cutting into the ocean, some mountains, a temple, and finally another skyline that moves to a building with a transmission tower. The channel's name or logo don't appear.
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: An ethereal, dreamy tune.
