It’s been a while since I’ve been here in Ident City. Personal situations have not been favourable and it takes a long time to recover from personal tragedy. But things are slowly coming together, and I actually feel like returning to a few old haunts. And I have a nice long video for my first return to Ident City.
This is a closedown from RTE2, as it was known back then, in 1985. Later in the 80s it became Network 2, then N2, before returning to RTE TWO.
In this video, you’ll see an old RTE News Headlines update from Don Cockburn, Night Light, a religious reflection commentary, and a look ahead to the following days programming. This particular style seemed to be oft copied around the world.
Despite the long period of silence, we’re not closing down here at Ident City.
