Visuals: On a black background, the word "WTVP" with a white outline comes from the top and moves closer to the center, while 6 red-yellow gradient lines appear from the bottom. Then the word "peoria", in the same font as "WTVP" comes from the bottom of the screen and moves to the center below "WTVP". Then it fades into "presents" in the same font, but black instead of blue.

Technique: Analog computer animation.

Audio: The credits music, an excerpt of "The Walkman" from jazz keyboardist Bob James' 1980 album "H".
