AzTV 2006

AzTV is the state television broadcaster in Azerbaijan.

AzTV broadcasts a wide variety of shows in the Azerbaijani language, mainly news, musical shows and documentaries.

AzTV broadcasts to Baku the capital of Azerbaijan on VHF Channel 3 with a radiated power of 23kW's using I think the SECAM standard.

AzTV also has a series of relays across the country, but can also be seen across the whole of Europe and most of North Africa and parts of the Middle East on Hot Bird 6 satellite at 13.0°E.

AzTV stands for Azərbaycan Televiziyası or in English Azerbaijan Television.

AzTV does not close down often, but continues to play this national anthem video sometime before the start of their new broadcast day.

I am assuming like other former Soviet republics and their satellite countries, AzTV can probably trace its history to the mid 1950's but I have no way of proving this.

The Video

This was AzTV's National Anthem video up till 2006, I am unsure when they started using it.

Starts of with the ident used in 2006, then National Anthem video stars with The Flag proudly displayed on screen in various shots.

Canal Siete Argentina LS82 September 2006

Canal Siete LS82 is a public television station in Buenos Aries Argentina.

Broadcasting on VHF Channel 7 with a radiated power of 212 kW's.

Canal 7 is owned, funded and operated by the Argentine state, but I do believe it has some autonomy.

The History

Broadcasting on Channel 7 originally began on October 17th 1951 with first regular broadcast on November 4^th 1951 with equipment imported from the United States.

The call sign was LR3 and was known on air as Television Radio Belgrano, this is due to being operated by LR3 Radio Belgrano back then.

The Wikipedia article in Spanish is a great read, the Google translation can be viewed Here.

The Video

Not much to be said really, final ident for then night back in September 2006 then the National Anthem video is played out that also features the Flag of Argentina at the end.

Packs a lot in for such a short video.

Thanks to the regular commentator on this blog Zachary Harden for this video.

Kuwait Space Channel

Kuwait Space Channel is an international satellite channel available in many parts of the world broadcasting from Kuwait.

It can be seen internationally on various satellites each targeted at various regions of the world.

For example in Europe it can be seen on Hot Bird 9 at 13°E while in Australia it can be seen on Intelsat 8 at 166°E.

Kuwait Space Channel is run by Kuwait Television which is the Kuwaiti national television broadcaster.

I believe Kuwait Space Channel simulcasts or airs shows from KTV 1 and other terrestrial Kuwait Television run channels.

The Video

First we start with a bugle player, then obvious an officer starts chanting and his men reply.

Then a group of soldiers in dress uniform start to carry a large Flag of Kuwait and then cuts to a stadium full of boys waving flags.

I am unsure of the music being played it is not the national anthem.

Not much else to be said I guess.

I hope you all enjoy.

DZOE-TV Channel 11

DWET-TV Channel 11 is a Philippine broadcast television station licensed to broadcast to the Metro Manila region on VHF Channel 11 with a radiated power of 100 kW's.

DZOE-TV is the flagship station of the Q Televsion Network and airs programming from the ZOE Broadcasting Network.

The Q network is owned by GMA Networks while DZOE-TV is owned and operated by the ZOE Broadcasting.

This deal came about on November 11^th 2005 because GMA offered to upgrade the ZOE Broadcasting Networks facilities in exchange for broadcasting Q on the station.

DZOE-TV had been off air before this deal was arranged, GMA at first simulcasted Q on DWDB-TV Channel 27 this has now ceased, but Channel 27 is currently planned or in use for tests of digital television using I think the DVB-T system.

ZOE Television Networks programming now airs on DZOZ-TV UHF Channel 33 as well as on DZOE-TV during the late evenings.

The History

DZOE-TV history before this is very sketchy, I can tell you that Channel 11 had the call signs of DZRH-TV between 1962 and 1972, I guess broadcasting was brought to an end when Martial Law was declared.

Channel 11 was reactivated I believe in 1995 as DWXI-TV and changed its call sign to DZOE-TV on April 19^th 1998.

If anyone has any other sign-off's from Metro Manilla I would like to get them all, or anywhere else in The Philippines for that matter please email me.

I hope you all enjoy......

JOOR-DTV Channel 16

First thing before the videos information...

I would like to mention I have had a article published in the UK in the March 2009 issue of What Satellite Magazine, the article is about my hobby and this blog, so anyone who want to buy a copy please do.

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

JOOR-DTV is branded on air as Mainichi Broadcasting System and broadcasts local news with national and international news from the Japan News Network, and is an affiliate of the Tokyo Broadcasting System.

JOOR-DTV broadcasts a ISBD digital signal on UHF Channel 16 on various transmitters in the Osaka Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture, Hyōgo Prefecture and the Wakayama Prefecture. It can also be seen on cable television.

The History

JOOR-TV, its analogue parent station originally started broadcasting on March 1^st 1959 broadcasting on VHF Channel 4.

JOOR-TV was originally affiliated to the All-Nippon News Network but this affiliation ended in 1975 when they changed to Japan News Network.

The Video

I will let this video speak for itself, it is indeed wonderful though.

I hope you all enjoy.

DWET-TV Channel 5 Sign-Off

DWET-TV Channel 5 is a Philippine broadcast television station licensed to broadcast to the Metro Manila region on VHF Channel 5 with a radiated power of 120 kW's.

DWET-TV is the flagship station of the Associated Broadcasting Company.

DWET-TV is known on air as TV5 but prior to 2008 it was known as simply ABC or ABC5.

DWET-TV call signs stand for DW for Luzon and ET for Edward Tan a former investor.

The Video

DWET-TV for a awhile did not sign-off after re branding as TV5 and stayed on air 24 hours a day with text in / SMS chat services after 1am, these were used to solicit illegal activities, and now it I think are banned from terrestrial television in The Philippines.

So now DWET-TV has began to sign-off each night again.

First the video lists all the information I guess required by The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), most interesting is the broadcast hours its licensed to operate in.

Then National Anthem video begins it also features the Flag.

This same sequence is aired with slight modification to Signing On at the start of their broadcast day, interesting to me though the National Anthem comes after the Sign-On information video.

I would like to thank Irving for emailing me the news about DWET-TV starting to sign-off again, it is very much appreciated.

I hope you all enjoy.

It can be seen on VHF Channel 9 in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent with a radiated power of 20 kW's and has network of transmitters through out the country, it can also be seen on line through a web stream.

TV Yoshlar airs a variety of sports it seems, mostly locally based, I am unsure if it airs any international sports.

TV Yoshlar starts its broadcast day at 7am local time, I am unsure when it ends its broadcast day.

The Video

At the start we see Yoshlar TV UEIT test card which was designed in the Soviet era, this test card is personally my favourite test card, yeah I know I'm nuts.

Then various shots of Uzbekistan, with the Flag seen once or twice all this to of course the National Anthem of Uzbekistan.

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