Listen to the whole jingle. This is the 1985 to 1995 Worldvision Home Video logo, and the jingle heard here sounds rather antiquated for 1985 (and even moreso when this was edited for use as a TV logo from 1988 to 1999). The TV logo has the same synth voicing, but the whoosh sound effect is shortened after less than one second, and the first three notes that play five seconds after the entire whoosh sound in the home video logo are removed.
Please tell me, is the synthesizer heard here really a Moog lead? You know, Minimoog D or Multimoog?
Thank you,

plus a million other classic analog synths

In 1985, surely one could multitrack an old Minimoog D or Moog Modular, unlike back in the '60s-'70s when such synths were just getting to be known. I know that the opening whoosh (a filter sweep effect that ascends, then descends as the globe and name lock into place), and those chord stabs as the phrase “HOME VIDEO INC.” slides out from underneath the company name sound Moog-ish to me.

The music in this is actually from Perry-Kingsley performed on Moog modular multi track recording. It’s called “Baroque Hoedown” and is part of the “Kaleïdoscopic Vibrations:spotlight on the Moog” album from 1967.
As for the Home video gingle, it sounds a lot like one of the many done by Eric Siday on Moog.
This is what you’re hearing on this version:
Don Dorsey used the following synthesizers to create the soundtrack: Moog Model III, Mini-Moog, Steiner-Parker Synthacon, Oberheim 8-voice, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, Fender Rhodes Piano, New England Digital Synclavier II, Bode 7702 Vocoder, Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter, Yamaha DX7 and Yamaha TX7.

The Beaverton, Oregon-based Media West, Inc. (1972-2009) used the same fanfare as Worldvision’s logo for its opening logo, minus the opening whoosh sound, and is also sped-up one tone higher. This logo was taken from the VHS tape “On Assignment: The Video Guide to Basic 35mm Photography.”
Crown Movie Classics also used the same fanfare for its opening logo (in the same key as the Media West logo), also without the opening WHOOSH effect.

(watch from 0:16 to 0:27)
The official name of the piece of music heard in all three logos I mention is called “Superstar Fanfare” or something, composed by Keith Mansfield for KPM Music.

the detailed information given in response to this makes my mind boggle- a term I’ve heard many times (unfortunately cast in my direction) comes to mind: “nerd alert!”
Did you expect anything else ? 
This is kinda cool:
