Various NBC promos from Summer 1987 and the Come Home campaign, a trunk full of logos, and a late roll in Burbank gets a slate on the air and clips the NBC News Digest.
Interesting to see the first promo in this series includes a plug for the pilot of "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" before NBC rejected it, Disney Channel picked it up for a year before "coming home to NBC" (pun 100% intended) after being retooled as "Saved by the Bell".
There's something odd about the NBC News Digest. One, to open the Digest, shouldn't there have been a cut from John Williams's "The Mission" NBC News package? Two, for the late roll in Burbank, the Proud N was gone, and the current six-feathered peacock was born.
I suspect that the NABET strike at NBC News (June through October 1987) very likely caused these "technical difficulties." The strike began in late June of '87. Managers, supervisors, and non-union workers took over many of the technicians' roles. Somehow they must have blended a "1987" voiceover introducing Maria Shriver (she was working at CBS News when this music was regularly used on NBC-TV News) with the cut of NBC News music that was retired from television in 1985 (but persisted in NBC News radio into 1986 and maybe 1987, too). Technical problems were especially bad on the "Today" program during the first days of the NABET strike. Someone could place the exact day when this aired based on the news items (the Wimbledon item must be a reference to the epic match between Jimmy Connors and Mikael Pernfors).
@@jaybee1973jaybee If it was during the strike then maybe it was on purpose? Seems like they could have just left off the music instead of using the dated cue. There's one of Andrea Mitchell from that summer out of Washington where they just have the animation and the voiceover with no music. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C2vUM2a4lWs.html.
Although you're taking a break from uploading videos at this moment, I know that you also trade news music as well. I sent you a Gmail requesting Non-Stop Music's "WPIX News" 5 days ago, hoping you'll get back to me (It's been a while since we last talked by email).
