The idents used from 1979 to 1987 used three different variants; one being a starry background with laser-light stars, one being a bright sunny area with a yellow sky and the last being a forest-like area with thunder in the background. The purpose of these idents was that "No matter the weather, you can always tune into El TV Kadsre"
