In most cases, this is the short announcement between programs that identifies the network. Also known as Station Identification, although a terrestrial network which relies on independently-owned local affiliates may require both during [[Station Ident|station breaks]]: "You're watching KXGN-TV 5 Glendive, the choice cut of two states. ([[Beat|cuts back to network]]) This is the CBS Television Network."
There is [http://www.meldrum.co.uk/mhp/continuity/index.html another kind] of continuity announcement. If something goes wrong in transmission of a program, the network will usually have a message ready, such as "Temporary Fault" or "Program Change". Or "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by" or the ever-popular Test Pattern.
