42:51 one minute you got a guy flipping the camera off, next minute it’s Jerry Springer with the news. Great stuff, except when you fall asleep to it and in your dream you’re trying to shut off the “Be There” playing in a perpetual loop.
seeing this, it just makes me think about how much a logo can change so much overtime. Especially this one, because this was very first TV network EVER, starting in 1926!!. But what i love about NBC's logos is that they have so much variety over time
8:25 Peacock: *Yawns* I just had a really weird dream, heh, I dreamt somebody put an entire hour of commercials on the air. Hahaha ridiculous, nobody would watch that! *Yawns* I gotta lay off of the alfalfa sprouts. *Peacock skates away*
(peacock yawns rather loudly and a bit... uhh, croaky) "I had just an funny, weird dream... I dreamt that someone decided to put an ENTIRE hour of commercials on the air... Haah, that's ridiculous! No-one would wanna watch that. I'm gonna go off and lay some time off eating those stupid sprouts..."
Is the 1979-1986 NBC logo in the beginning of Little House on the Prairie: The Return of Mr. Edwards in 1980 and the 1986-2011 NBC logo is on KVLY 11 with The Valley's Choice for Local News! under KVLY 11 in the beginning of KVLY News 11 @ this hour (10:00 am) before Mick KJar says, "Good morning! I'm @ this hour (10:00 am)!" while he's the meteorologist in 2000?
"Our Pride is Showing" remains the metaphorical White Whale of NBC Promos; lot of Local versions around, but still no sign of a full length National version...at least you have what you have, and that's OK.
Did NBC have some O&O stations (radio and television)? I know ABC and CBS had some numerous O&O radio/TV stations in certain markets (including Los Angeles and New York (not sure about Chicago)) from Paramount Global and Disney/ABC respectively.
NBC affiliates featured include WMAQ-TV, Chicago, WDAF-TV,Kansas City, WRC-TV, Washington ,DC and WBZ-TV, Boston and KGW-TV, Portland, Oregon, WMAR-TV, Baltimore and WNBC, New York City. (WBZ was then a NBC affiliate when Westinghouse owned the station in these clips; it has since been a CBS affiliate after CBS bought Westinghouse Broadcasting Company to form CBS Mass Media in 1995.)
I've always been crazy about the peacock!! Why they came up with that silly block design is beyond me! They finally tacked a new peacock to it - "Proud As a Peacock." Then they came up with peacock still used today, and he's a pretty cool dude!! I loved your showing the NBC affiliates in different states, too!! FUN!! 😍😍😍 Our NBC affiliate in Boston was WBZ-TV channel 4 - thanks for showing that!! - but now WBZ-TV is a CBS affiliate.
I didn't watch anything on NBC as a child in the 70s, except for sneaking in an episode of SNL every once in a while (that was on _way_ past my bedtime). I don't remember any of the shows, or any of those promos for Saturday morning cartoons that seem to have pinched off of "Saturday Night Fever". ABC became the most popular network, with CBS's Saturday prime time doing well also until ~1977.
I wish NBC would return to the Laramie peacock and the NBC snake logo. I didn't care much about the trapezoidal "N" when it came out. It just isn't the NBC I remember. :-)
WNBT became WRCA-TV in 1954, and in 1960, it became WNBC-TV. New York City's NBC affiliate got its current callsign from a NBC station in New Britain, Connecticut, which had nothing to do with the National Broadcasting Company.
