Then, the "12" zooms out, and "東京" (Tokyo) and "チャンネル" (channel) appear between the numbers. It then cuts into the TV station's info (including frequency and power) on a sign of arrows, similar to the one used by [[JOAX-DTV (Nippon Television)|Nippon Television]]. Later, it cuts into the "12" logo in a pattern of rotatimg radio waves. Finally, the radio waves zoom out, and "Tokyo 12 Channel" is shown.
