- 32 is showing a circular colour bar logo (needs to be seen to be believed)
- with the name "DOCUMANIA" in the lower part of the screen. On 30 is its
- companion station "CINEMANIA" imposed on a test card which recreates itself
- every 10 seconds. Both services have a count 1-10 in 4 circles distributed
- near the corners. Accompanying sound is a sort of rock muzak. This started
- this weekend. These are listed on the Info screen (transp. 29) as run
- by a Spanish company, service begins 1 Jan 1993. Isn't n-tv rumoured
- for the 1C, launch April 1993.
