That's CRAZY!!! I remember this so clearly. I'm from Winnipeg and when I was a kid I would sometimes leave the old black & white TV in my room on at night while I fell asleep and I'd usually put it to channel 3 (PBS) because I figured the programming at that time of night would put me to sleep since it's pretty boring to a kid. But that song!!! I still remember that tune. This is wild, wild stuff! lol, what a flashback! That tune is imprinted in my brain for life!

@likethepear Glad to hear, this ID brings back memories for me as well (being a PBS addict, even back then). :D

What's the name of the song beginning at 0:11?

@WestWash97 I don't know myself, my guess it that it was production/library music either of the stock variety,or custom-composed made for this ID....

I remembered watching this ident as I was waiting for programs like Prairie News Journal and Mystery to come on, living in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

@sarniatownreggae Yes, I actually have access to an episode of Prairie News Journal that I might post here soon...

@gshowguy I see, well there would be usually such aired after this ID if it was at the beginning of a following program produced by a PBS member station and distributed by PBS...

[gshowguy]

@pvx Oh, OK. By national PBS station IDs, though, I meant like WGBH, WNET, MPT, SCETV, etc.

@RetroToledo Maybe to prevent confusion between a station's terrestrial channel number, and its channel number on cable (which usually differs on some cable tv systems), but they could indicate both on their ID though, which I've seen some stations do....

@gshowguy No, usually the next scheduled program would air immediately after this ID aired (and promos would air before it), and the only "national" PBS IDs aired were usually right at the end of a program (the usual PBS "P-head" logo) nationally distributed by PBS, with the aforementioned promos and this ID airing afterward..

[gshowguy]

Were there any national PBS station IDs after this one?
