One such ident has many clips of shows (either produced by KCTS itself and/or PBS, and other affiliates) being shown.

Afterwards, the KCTSeattle logo animates normally on a black/{{color|navy|dark sapphire}} gradient background, then the channel station number "9" animates itself by flying away from the screen, and places itself next to the text. Then, the text "TV Worth Watching" in a white script font writes itself under the text. Another version has the normal background without "TV Worth Watching". | ||

The jingle may also be referred to as "You'll Turn Us On and You'll Love It!", and was also used by [[WNED]] in Buffalo. | '''Audio/Variant:''' The local station ID features a long piece of music from PBS' "TV Worth Watching" campaign.
