Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) IDs

1st Bumper
(1982-1992)[]

TBN Net ID 1986

Bumper: On a black starry sky background, the camera zooms out between two dark periwinkle planks, which then flip up to reveal a cross. A white dove then flies on the top of the cross, leaving a yellow trail, and the red text "TBN" zooms out at the bottom of the cross, leaving a silver trail as it does so. The logo sparkles three times, then slowly zooms in.

Variant: A 1989 airing of this bumper had the plank animation cut out, starting when the dove appears.

FX/SFX: Rather dated CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A few whooshes, then a 3-note synth chime theme synced to the sparkles appearing. An announcer says "This is the Trinity Broadcasting Network."

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Bumper
(1992-2013)[]

Trinity Broadcasting Network (1992)

Bumper: TBA

FX/SFX: Nice CGI animation that holds up well today.

Music/Sounds: A crystal chime, then a whoosh, which is punctuated by an ascending flute flourish that changes into a heavenly orchestral theme. An announcer (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) then says "This is the Trinity Broadcasting Network."

Music/Sounds/Voiceover Variants: TBA

Availability: Same as the previous bumper.
