What does IDENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A short sequence of sound and images broadcast on television or radio between programs to identify the channel or station.
Broadcasters use an ident to remind viewers which channel they are watching after an advertisement break or between two separate programs, often built around a short animated logo and a musical sting. Unlike a full advertisement, an ident sells no product; its only purpose is brand recognition, so major networks periodically redesign theirs to feel fresh. The term is used chiefly in British broadcasting, where each channel is closely associated with its recognizable ident.
