Munhwa Broadcasting (MBC) in Korea launched their teletext service 15 September, 1988 according to this news clip. It might have been based on the Japanese JTES teletext standard (textmode, vector, and pixel graphics) but not sure. Btw, the Korean term for teletext is 문자 다중 방송.

CloneWorld BBS, 1988. 

This is the welcome screen for the late Mike Cohen’s Cloneworld BBS in Matawan NJ. It was heavily animated, upon logging into the BBS it was completely drawn from the bottom up using ANSI animation starting with a black screen. The text (Welcome to Cloneworld etc) was drawn last, swooping in from the lower right and swirling around the screen until it landed as seen here. Our BBSes were local phone calls to each other, and Mike and I became good friends and spent a lot of time on the phone discussing BBSing, computers, and cars.
