A bright light is seen on the transmitter tip of the tower, and when the camera fully zooms back in a comfortable position, the tower then emits signals. The text "{{color | ||

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. First seen on the 1996 television film ''Holiday Affair'' (it ''may'' have appeared on the 1996 film ''Milk & Money'', but this is unconfirmed as the film is too obscure to figure out). It can be seen on films such as ''Mighty Joe Young'' (1998), ''The Magnificent Ambersons'' (2002), ''Gin Game'', ''Are We Done Yet?'', ''Beyond a Reasonable Doubt'' (2009 version), ''A Late Quartet'' and ''Barely Lethal''. The company has not released a film for seven years after ''Barely Lethal'' due to a focus on licensing their library for stage shows and remakes by other film companies. It has reappeared in full on the trailer for ''Ocean of Lies'' and may likely appear on the film itself. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon.
