Tunes and sequences that introduce into media products (so-called idents or intros) do not serve only as interpunction dividers in the continuous broadcasting media flow. They are also a specific kind of media message that evolved gradually and become incorporated structurally as well as functionally among the typical and identifying phenomena of the media discourse. From the semiotic point of view, an intro is at the same time a sign of the media text and a text per se. In the media discourse, intros fulfill several functions: they help getting around the radio and television programme, they draw attention to various programme titles and they simultaneously co-create the identity of the respective broadcasting station's discourse. To fulfill said functions, they use set signs and sign systems. Purpose of this work is on the one hand to analyze sign and sign systems used in some representative examples of intros from the Czech media environment around the turn of the millennium, on the other hand to comparatively analyze said intros in a synchronous as well as diachronous perspective; by means of that, relations will be explained among various intros and their respective sign systems across the media discourse.
