'''Visuals:''' On a black background, many teal and {{color|lightpink|pink}} outlines of "M"s shuffle back and forth, taking up most of the screen. They zoom out, revealing "{{color|#FFD900|A SERVICE OF}}" in yellow, and the much larger "{{color|deepskyblue|'''METROMEDIA TELEVISION'''}}", before the M copies disappear and 2 more appear on the right in blue, one of them being a cut-out. They slide to the left, revealing the station's channel number as the lines in them become solid blue. This causes the bottom text to wipe away to the station name and area they served as the channels number turns red, then green, then back to white.
