There were several different jingles to accompany this ident. (Note, ALPHA has very little in the way of widescreen programming.) 11s - 283k File 9s - 39k File 10s - 42k File 10s - 41k File There was also a special station ident to introduce sports programming - with a somewhat unusual usage of the Olympic rings. 9s - 244k File 7s - 29k File     ALPHA's break bumpers that were introduced at the start of the winter season 2000 were shortened versions of the following animations. These were originally used as the station's main identification symbols, so the break bumpers showed only one rotation of the ALPHA logo instead of three.   Green   Blue 7s - 122k File 7s - 114k File 6s - 27k File 6s - 25k File This was the final look of ALPHA's break bumper during the 2000-2001 season. 5s - 76k File     At the same time, there was a rather smart green version of the station's main identity symbol. In common with other stations, ALPHA introduced special idents that lead into feature films, and with them, created the 'CINEMALPHA' brand. The animations are a pastiche of the Twentieth Century Fox searchlights and there are several variants. The first - in black-and-white with added scratches and blurring - was usually shown before old monochrome Greek films. (A similarly scratched and blurred colour version was played should the film itself be in colour). The second, played before imported feature films was in sharp, glorious colour. The jingles were interchangeable.   Black-and-white   Colour 14s - 149k File 15s - 155k File 11s - 47k File 12s - 52k File     ALPHA's short trailer captions. The unadorned original from the start of the winter 2000 season is shown top left. Soon after, images were added to the top right of the captions - the one top right was used for St. Valentine's Day, whilst the lower two were broadcast during Carnival 2001.   Animated 'Tonight' caption, and a static programme menu. 2s - 52k File 1s - 8k File For lengthier trailers, an alternative style end caption was used. Here, the clear image in the centre cut-out is the last frame of the trailer which itself is blurred to form the background.     ALPHA has tie-ins and sponsorship agreements with a wide variety of art, cinema and theatre productions and promotes them in segments introduced by either of these two animations.   Gyroscope   Sparks 7s - 173k File 9s - 225k File 6s - 26k File 9s - 37k File The station's presentation and copyright captions for the season.
