The Television Close Down And Start Up Blog

Korean Central TV (DPRK) Close Down 2009

2009-06-27T08:18:00.005+01:00

Korean Central Television, is a state television station from the DPRK or more commonly known as North Korea.

KCTV broadcasts news reports, shows on education, culture, economic affairs, cartoons and various other content.

KCTV broadcasts from 08:00 to 13:30 UTC which is 17:00 to 22:30 local time Monday through Saturday and 00:00 to 13:30 UTC which is 9:00 to
22:30 on Sundays, broadcast times mirror Sundays on key national holidays.

To read more about KCTV please click Here

I have never been able to view a close down from KCTV, I have had the privilege to view KCTV for a good number of hours at a time, but the broadcast is always cut long before the end of their broadcast day, so this is as much a treat for me as anyone else.

The Video

This video is more about presentation than anything I think and its a neat insight into the country.

The Flag of the DPRK is seen flying in a more conventional way in this video, unlike their start up in the link above.

Not sure the music being played over the flag, I am assuming someone can comment on that for me.

Thanks to Mark over at SatDirectory for this video.

Please be aware of the file size of this video, so be patient when it buffers.

I hope you all enjoy...

RASD TV

2009-06-24T08:44:00.002+01:00

RASD TV is a satellite television station broadcasting Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic or more commonly known as Western Sahara.

RASD TV airs Reading from the Quran, religious lectures, nature documentaries I assume a news broadcast but I did not see one.

RASD TV starts their broadcast day with this national anthem at 14:00 UTC/Local Time I am unsure when they close down.

RASD TV can be seen on the Intelsat 905 satellite at 24.5°W which covers most of Europe and what looks like the very north of the country.

I have no idea if they have any terrestrial broadcast sites, although airing a test card like that mainly suggest they do.

Over all the production quality of this channel is very poor, some of the audio distortion is incredibly bad, even resulting in echoes, let's hope they improve.

RASD stands for República Árabe Saharaui Democrática which is Spanish for Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

The territory is a former Spanish colony and I assume Spanish is spoken widely, the channel website is also in Spanish.

The Video

First off we see a test card with the Coat of Arms of Western Sahara with local music playing.

Then the Flag appears and the National Anthem begins to play, and into the start of programming.

I hope you all enjoy.

ViVe

2009-06-20T09:04:00.013+01:00

ViVe is a state owned cultural broadcaster in Venezuela.

ViVe broadcasts works of small and independent producers with a bare bones feel, with short documentaries and cultural and educational programming.

ViVe is available over the air but it seems not nationally, as well as on cable, pay satellite television and in the Americas free to air on C-Band satellite on NSS 806 at 40.5°W.

ViVe can be seen in the capital Caracas on UHF channel 25, with I guess either reception from out of the city or low powered relays for parts of the city on UHF channels 21 and 24.

ViVe tv stands for Vision Venezuela and was launched on November 11^th 2003.

The Video

I will let this video speak for itself, it features the National Anthem of Venezuela and Flag.

As well as subtitles and signed for the deaf.

Not much else to be said to be honest, I hope you all enjoy....

JONR-DTV Channel 15

2009-06-17T12:18:00.012+01:00

JONR-DTV is a digital commercial television station located in Osaka Japan.

JONR-DTV is owned by Asahi Shimbun the second largest circulated national newspaper in Japan.

The History

JONR-TV its analogue parent station originally started broadcasting on VHF channel 6 on December 1t^st 1956 under the call sign of JOBX-TV and owned by ABC and New Japan Broadcasting Company under the name Osaka Television.

It was fully acquired by ABC on March 1^st 1959 and by June had fully merged the station with its radio station JONR, I assume this is the date it took the JONR-TV call sign and ABC name.

The Video

The video is very self explanatory, but the music used on it must be stock music because it is also used by NHK Education TV through-out its television stations in Japan.

This is the last video I have from Japan I am afraid so I hope you all enjoyed them.

Cheers...

Simaye-Azadi

2009-06-13T13:50:00.004+01:00

Simaye-Azadi is a satellite television channel that is said to be operated by the People's Mujahedin of Iran

Basically broadcasting in Farsi with "News" Documentaries, Music and Social and Cultural programming.

It can be seen in Europe and the Middle East on Telstar 12 at 15°W and in North America on Galaxy 19 at 97.0°W.

Don't really know much about their cause or their beliefs, and don't want to go into them.

I have no idea where this channel is broadcasting from, but they do have a contract address in the United Kingdom.

It is a well produced video that is for, lots of patriotic images and rallies to their cause, and possible martyrs featured in the video.

Can't say much more really. cause that's all I have, not even sure on the music played.

Sorry for such a long wait for a new video, I have been feeling very unwell and needed to take a break from the blog.

Hope you all enjoy...

The second video if your a long time reader of this blog you should know all broadcast media in Mexico are required to conform to the broadcast laws of the Secretary of Communications and Transportation of Mexico, this includes airing the National Anthem and Flag of Mexico.

This is actually shot during what looks like the independence day celebrations on campus on September 16th 2008.

You get a nice shot of the Flag not doing much and a shot of a transmitter on top of one of the campuses buildings

UT1

2009-05-30T13:54:00.014+01:00

UT1 is the first television channel in Ukraine, it is state owned and it is operated by The National Television Company of Ukraine.

UT1 broadcasts in Ukrainian and airs news broadcasts called simply News, cultural programming, sport and general all round entertainment.

UT1 can be seen in 97% of the Ukraine the largest coverage of any television broadcaster in the country.

UT1 can be seen in Ukraine's capital Kiev on VHF Channel 2 with a radiated power of 50kW's.

With obviously a lot of other transmitter sites, but can also be seen on cable and satellite television in the country.

UT1 on air goes by the name Перший канал which means First Channel, this is the common name for the channel.

UT1 does not go off air but at 09:00 (07:00 UTC in Winter Time) each morning they put aside 5 minutes of broadcast time for this national anthem video and taped in vision announcer telling us the following days programming.

Sometime this year hopefully The National Television Company of Ukraine will become a public broadcaster and the government will lose direct control.

The History

UT1 first went on the air on January 20^th 1965.

Although I assume on not the current frequencies they use now since I guess they were taken up by the former Soviet Channel 1 and 2 in Russian.

UT1 had a sister station in UT2 till 2004 but this was taken off the and replaced with the commercial private broadcaster cunningly called Channel 1+1 which obvious equals 2, who took over its broadcast frequencies.

The Video

The style in this video is still very heavily influenced by the "socialist" days that's for sure.

Features the National Anthem of Ukraine as well as The Flag and the rest can be watched for yourself.

I really do like this video, one for the fact it has everything you would expect for a national anthem video and more, plus I have been trying to find a start up sequence from Ukraine for a very long time, so this pleases me a lot.

Twitter Feed?

Before I go, if any one is reading this far down.. would anyone like to see this blog get a twitter feed?

I would make little updates on what I am recording, what I have planned and of course have notification of when new videos are posted automatically.

If yes please leave a comment or simply email me, either will appear in my inbox.

I hope you all enjoy.

This is something different for this blog for sure.

These are a set of sign-off's from Filipino television in 2005-2006, more specially Metro Manila as audio recordings.

To listen to these recordings simply click on the title in the flash player.

I would like to thank Irving Pentescoste for these recordings.

Not much else to say to be honest, I hope you enjoy listening to these...

XHST-TV Canal 13

2009-05-23T14:54:00.010+01:00

XHST-TV Canal 13 is a Mexican broadcast television station licensed to broadcast to Mérida on VHF Channel 13 with a radiated power of 42.52kW's.

Mérida is the capital of the state of Yucatán.

XHST-TV is known on air as trecetv, trece meaning thirteen.

XHST-TV is a local public broadcast station that promotes the culture and values of the Yucatán, information on programs and workings of local and I guess national government, and to reach out to all social segments of the local population.

Which basically means they air documentaries and locally produced shows.

They seem to be networked at some portions of the day with XEIMT-TV Canal 22 in Mexico City which is a federally owned cultural and educational television station.

XHST-TV can also be seen in Mexico, the continental United States and Hawaii in C-Band on SatMex 6 Satellite at 113°W.

The Video

As always XHST-TV is required to conform to the broadcast laws of the Secretary of Communications and Transportation of Mexico, this includes airing the National Anthem and Flag of Mexico.

After that a quicker filler video of shots from around Yucatán before they enter into their scheduled day.

I will let this video speak for itself..

I hope you all enjoy

DZKB-TV Channel 9

2009-05-20T03:25:00.016+01:00

DZKB-TV Channel 9 is a Philippine broadcast television station licensed to broadcast to the Metro Manila region on VHF Channel 9.

DZKB-TV is the flagship station of the Radio Philippines Network.

Although it is known on as as C/S 9 due to partnership arrangements with Solar Entertainment Corporation who own the C/S branding and produces programming for the network.

DZKB-TV call signs stand for DZ for Luzon and KB for Kanlaon Broadcasting System.

Kanlaon Broadcasting System was the former name for the broadcast network.

Kanlaon is a Volcano on Negros Island in The Philippines.

DZKB-TV broadcasts a lot of imported US TV shows which over time has become famous for.

Also a lot of sport with a-lot of basketball from the PBA and the NBA.

DZKB-TV also broadcasts news programming, and has a very long running English newscast NewsWatch which is also the flagship newscast for the station.

In the mid nighties the station started a telenovela craze in the country.

In the past it used to air The Price is Right from the states, this show is a favourite of mine, although it now airs on DZRJ-TV channel 29 in Metro Manilla which an affiliate of 2nd Avenue which is owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

DZKB-TV Channel 9 first went on the air on June 29^th 1960 branded as Kanlaon Broadcasting System.

This lasted till 1975 when it re branded as Radio Philippines Network which lasted till the station re branded as C/S 9 in October 2008, although I believe it is still technically the networks name.

The Video

This video is quirky to say the least, no official sign-off message is ever given, just a quick C/S 9 is now signing off and quickly into test card.

Sign-on is more interesting hence why I am featuring it, and the day this was recorded a few technical errors appeared.

First off we see the test card used during the time when DZKB-TV has no programming, although I don't think they actually shut down the transmitter for the need to have a sign-on message with technical details.

The test card then starts to have parts of the National Anthem begin to play over it, audio only, this was clearly a mistake.

Then the anthem stops and then the video and audio start up the National Anthem video produced by a number of government offices, and is used on quite a few stations.

Then a count down video that tells us CS/9 is signing on.

See other video from The Philippines click Here.

I must say I really do enjoy writing these posts and only one VHF station in DZTV-TV Channel 13 in Metro Manilla I have not posted, if anyone has a sign-on/off from them please email me.

Cheers and I hope you all enjoy.

Sudan TV

Sudan TV is the a National and International television channel from The Sudan National Broadcasting Corporation.

Sudan TV can be seen over the air in Sudan as well as internationally on various satellites targeting various areas of the world.

Sudan TV broadcasts in the Arabic language.

Sudan TV began broadcasting in 1962 and colour broadcasts began in 1976.

Sudan TV broadcasts news shows, prayers, Quran passages, calls for prayer, children's shows, talent contests, dramas and documentaries.

Sudan TV is subject to military censorship to make sure their news broadcasts reflect the governments current policies.

Not quiet sure what this video is, except is extremely patriotic and morale boasting and the fact it aired early morning I recorded it.

Yeah I know its a long video, song is quite catchy to, if anyone can speak Arabic please comment or email me on what the singer is singing about.

Cheers and I hope you all enjoy...

JOEX-DTV Channel 24

2009-05-13T16:23:00.007+01:00

JOEX-DTV TV Asahi is a digital broadcast television station located in Tokyo Japan.

JOEX-DTV broadcasts on UHF Channel 24 and is the flagship station of the All-Nippon News Network and serves the Kanto region of Japan which includes the capital Tokyo.

I have already written about JOEX-DTV's analogue parent station in a previous post on this blog, so I do not think it is needed that I write any more than that.

To read that blog post please click Here.

I personally prefer this sign-off to their previous one used on JOEX-TV, its much more trippy.

Although that sign-off did contain an Emergency Warning System test and maybe needed to be more sombre.

If anyone can translate the Japanese text featured in this please comment or email me.

Cheers and enjoy.

Televizija Sarajevo

2009-05-09T13:07:00.009+01:00

Televizija Sarajevo is a local television channel in Bosnia and Herzegovina capital Sarajevo.

I know little about Televizija Sarajevo really it was on the fly recording.

I discovered that Televizija Sarajevo had closed down with a test card for the night, so I set-up to record the channel and left it over night and in the morning found I had their start up sequence.

Televizija Sarajevo I guess can be seen terrestrially over the air in Sarajevo as well on the local cable systems as well now on-line through web streams.

I guess they go by the name TVSA as well as Televizija Sarajevo.

The Video

The video is quiet a long one, it does feature the National Anthem and CGI recreation of the Flag.

The national anthem video is very similar in nature to the national broadcaster BHT 1.

Originally the recording of this video was in stereo with the audio on the right channel and nothing on the left, but I had to change it to mono to not sound odd with stereo headphones.

Sorry for such a short post, I guess you can just enjoy the video.

Télé Tchad

2009-05-06T09:13:00.012+01:00

Télé Tchad is the state television channel in the central African country of Chad.

Télé Tchad is operated by ONRTV which is the state national radio and television broadcaster.

Télé Tchad broadcasts in French and maybe a local language or two a mixture of programming alot of talk shows,cultural and local style musical programming, but I guess it also has a few news broadcasts.

The satellite signal is very weak for me here in South Wales so I have not spent alot of time watching it.

The signal is lost for me past around 12pm BST so I am unsure what time they actually start broadcasting, although I do know they close around 12am local time, which is also my night so signal level improves.

Télé Tchad has a high power transmitter in the capital N'Djamena on VHF Channel 7 with a radiated power of 50 kW's and also has local relays across the country.

Télé Tchad can also be seen on satellite in North Africa, Middle East and Southern Europe easily on the Nilesat 101 satellite at 7°W, the satellite can also be received in most of Europe with a large enough dish.

The channels mascot is a Grey Crowned Crane which can be found in Chad.

Hes featured in alot of places including the channels digital on screen graphic / bug.

ONRTV stands for L’Office National de Radiodiffusion et TéléVision du Tchad which translates to The Office of National Radio and Television of Chad.

ONRTV have a monopoly on television in the country I believe.

The History

Télé Tchad was set-up in 1987 making it one of most recently established national television channels in Africa, little else I know.

The Video

I guess this video is obvious, although I do like the final ident with the 3D logo with the Flag of Chad draped around and removed to real the logo.

I'm glad to be back, thanks for being so patient and I hope you all enjoy....

First off we see the end of the final show of the night, then into a preview of the next day and a Good Night message from the people working at RTL.

I think at the end of the final ident for the night I hear pips / tones I assume this was used to switch off terrestrial transmitters since this recorded is from analogue satellite complete with "sparklies".

Very long PM5544 test card recording with audio from RTL-Radio Oldies station at the end of this video..

I have to thank Mathias Volta again for the use of another video of his.

Telewizja Polska is pretty obvious it translates to Television Poland.

TVP2 airs a wide variety of shows and is not really placed into any specific genre.

At 22:00 local time there is regional news I believe hence why its not listed on this video.

TV Patriot seems to be a member of regional broadcast group called "Spolupracujúce televízie" or in English Partner Television, I assume this is some sort of footage or content exchange.

This video is broadcast at around 00:00 local time daily even though they broadcast a 24 hour schedule.

The video features various wonderful shots of Žilina including the Budatín Castle all to the National Anthem of Slovakia.
