1980s Station IDs from Every American Television Market (that I could find)

A collection of station IDs from my home country, the USA (or America, or the United States of America, or, yeah) Lots of oldschool animation and computer graphics, as well as catchy jingles.
Here's what you can find in this video:
00:00 Obligatory (rushed) Intro
00:21 210-160
03:12 159-130
05:27 129-109
07:03 Guy
07:14 107-100
07:50 99-70
10:28 69-40
13:55 39-20
16:22 19-1
Rankings in the video are as of the 2019-20 TV season and are thus quite inaccurate to the 212-ranked TV markets of the 1980s (taking into account population incline/decline and county-shifting).
To see a more accurate ranking of some of the TV markets at the time, go here (1979-80 TV season):
worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX...
There are minor inaccuracies in the editing as well, but hopefully no one cares.
NOTE that I DO NOT own the videos used here, these are credited to other RU-vidrs (as in, they're not my captures, I'm not THAT good). If you would like to be credited somehow just let me know.
Once again, I don't own the station IDs/promos used here.
These are for entertainment purposes only.
Hope you enjoy, like, subscribe, and share this video!

Tampa Bay native here. I watched plenty of WFTS-TV back then. WTOG was the clear non-Big 3 leader here at the time, but WFTS-TV held its own, especially when it got the FOX affiliation in '88. The logo shown here is an improvement over what it used before.

The current NBC affiliate, KBMT 12.2, is known as K-JAC. 6:08 now Fox, but with ABC on 24.2. 7:25 now The CW, previously Fox. 10:57 now NBC. 11:25 now ABC. 11:08, 10:35 now Fox 13:10 now KRQE, still CBS but with Fox on 13.2 13:30 now KFOR, still NBC. Acknowledging the dominance of energy in its market. 13:48 now WFOX, guess which network? 13:51 now KXAN, still NBC. Surprised to have a great logo when the station was No. 3 in my home town. 14:59, 15:10 now NBC. 15:18 should be WBAL, then CBS but now NBC.

You can sure tell by the rankings that this was in the 1980's. Nowadays Grand Rapids, MI (the market serving an area from Hesperia, MI to the Indiana border during the 1980's, Nielsen stupidly moved the boundary up to the Lake/Wexford county line which is well north of Baldwin) is probably in or near the top ten and Detroit is probably well down in the rankings.

i was well aware of the first one (countless comments about it) but the second one is a bit tricky, since it was an approximation in a list of IDs from 1979-1986. i had gotten the idea that in 1984, they were using a CGI logo, so I assumed it was before then.
