[edit] Outer Banks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Outer Banks is popularly abbreviated OBX; Outer Banks residents petitioned their state representative Marc Basnight, who is also the North Carolina Senate President, to intervene on their behalf and have automobile license plates issued with the prefix OBX. This was done in 2001 and the plates OBX-0000 through OBX-9999 were soon exhausted. Locals protested and were rewarded with a new series beginning OBX10000 as NC plates are limited to only eight characters. These plates are only available to local residents. The natives are known as "Bankers". The area is also home to colonies of wild horses, known as "Banker Ponies", descended from Spanish Mustangs washed ashore centuries ago in shipwrecks. Noted colonies exist near Corolla and on Ocracoke Island, the home base of pirate Edward Teach also known as Blackbeard. Ocracoke Island is only accessible by ferry from the southern tip of Hatteras Island, although local shops sell bumperstickers that state "Hatteras-Ocracoke Tunnel Permit". Another popular sticker appears to be a legitimate handicapped parking permit, but it shows a person in a wheelchair on a surfboard with the caption "Surfing Impaired- Too Old, Too Fat, Don't Care". The popular "OBX" sticker is shown below. A popular website with information about the Outer Banks is found at www.obxconnection.com. The LCO affiliate WOBX-TV, as well as a local AM and FM station, all get their call letters from the abbrieviation OBX.

Note: Such trivial information may not even be allowed to be present in this article. However, we can say on the WOBX-TV article that the callsign meaning comes from OBX, as:

W Outer BanX (official abbreviation)

[edit] Sign-off (broadcast) - New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In New Zealand, from 1981, Television New Zealand's Television One played a cartoon known as the Goodnight Kiwi, showing a kiwi closing up shop for the night, putting the milk bottle out, riding an elevator to the top of the transmitter, and going to bed in a satellite dish. An alternate version shown on the second channel, TV2 (formerly South Pacific Television) showed the kiwi shutting the camera. It was popular with children, particularly Television One's animation. WLIV-TV used this animation from 1987 until 2003, when they commissioned Star-Vision Entertainment to do a new version of the animation. By 1994, they had adopted the kiwi as part of their identity until the LiveTV re-branding in 2006. A completely different animation featuring the kiwi is currently in use, and was produced by Cameo Films in cooperation with Star-Vision.
