Here's some nostalgic New Zealand pres from the past. Some TV Channels play their anthem at the end of the day. Some play an ident, or a waving flag, or even patriotic images of people working. New Zealand had a Kiwi and his cat going to sleep, between 1976-1994. The music is beautiful, if slightly haunting.

HanoiTV is experiencing some sudden crisis/reforms today: of all the services they're currently running (90FM, 96FM, Hanoi 1, Hanoi 2, On365FM), only 90FM and Hanoi 1 is still in operation. The rest of it has been off-air since midnight today, for unknown reasons, through there's a slide displayed on air saying that the channel is temporarily off the air due to restructure. I attempted to post a picture of that slide but it said that the maximum allowance for uploading the file is 500kbs, so I apologized for this inconvenience - online feed of Hanoi 2 is currently offline or even shut down.

EDIT: sibling Hanoicab networks are also subtly affected - Hanoicab 4 - MOV is currently off air with testcard, other channels are currently normal.

In Spain, sports channel Gol was renamed Gol Play in mid-August, as they're widening their programming from initially football to general sport, to series and movies:

Over in Indonesia, after a possible relaunch leaked by its sister station Indosiar, O Channel bowed out with a countdown timer and a speech.

Moji then started with best wishes from celebrities, under the slogan "everyday excitement":

Their old (although still current logo) isn't all that old, having been adopted in 2017, the logo before that was used for 16 years.
