Background
PolyGram Records also had a television division in 1980 (first under the name of "PolyGram Television Ltd."), which distributed mainly TV movies, and it was headed by Norman Horowitz, who was formerly the head of Columbia Pictures Television's syndicated unit. The company also distributed three first-run syndicated strips in 1982, most of them bombed hardly. In 1983, the company was closed down along with its film counterpart, with King Features Entertainment acquiring its assets (including syndication rights to 1981-1983 PolyGram Pictures films). The film Rehearsal for Murder is in the public domain, although Lionsgate has the official rights to the title, due to Hearst Entertainment.

Logo: On a black background, we see the name "PolyGram Television", in blue, flying from right to the center of a logo while an orange star zooms out to place itself under the "P" and makes more stars underneath the name. We later see an orange (or red) light shining across the stars to make a line.
Technique: Early CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: A simple synth tune.
Availability: Extremely rare.
- It appears at the end of a DVD release of Rehearsal for Murder (which is in the public domain), and also appeared at the end of an Amazon Prime Video print of the TV movie The Five of Me as well.
- It might also be seen on Eric Seraveid's Chronicle as well.
