This is the vanity plate of country music television producer Jim Owens.

(April 1, 1986-199?)

Logo: On a black background, we see the text "JIM OWENS ENTERTAINMENT INC. All Rights Reserved". Above the text is a video of an obese woman wearing a viking helmet and viking garb, and holding two cymbals. She yells "HoahhoahAAAAAAAOOOOOOH!" and then crashes the cymbals.

Above the video are the words "Syndicated by Genter Media", the lower-left hand side reads "Distributed by", with the 1983 Nashville Network print logo on a white background, and the lower-right hand side reads "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved".
Another variant exists where we see bold serif text that reads "Distributed by Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.".
On From The Vault: Country Standard Time, a still image of the opera lady is inside a rectangular box with the words "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment All Rights Reserved" next to it.
- Another version of said variant has a still image of the last shot and in its normal box size.
