kfc513 225 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Were these graphics used for NBC's branding, or were they made just for its affiliates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I want to say they were local. NBC probably didn’t make them and likely are part of the graphics package that was used. That being said The Howie Mandel Show was made by NBC but was syndicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc513 225 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Look at the background. Countless NBC affiliates have used it in promos, news opens, etc. I'm thinking it was a promo template that NBC made for its stations, but I'm thinking otherwise. Here's another example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I don’t know. It could be that or a syndicated package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew 143 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 KNDO-KnDU used that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Have you ever seen NBC use it in promos and ID's? I was young then. But pretty much all I can remember were related to Hearst’s image news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 143 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think NBC created them and the stations could use them as they wished. KNDO was a Raycom Media station back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 A lot of smaller-market NBC stations used these. A predecessor is the "blinking lights" background from 1996 or so: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTV 476 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Ah the glass peacock. KNSD used these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1046 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I can confirm this was an affiliate promo package NBC fed out to affiliates in the late 90s. Source: I used these backgrounds cutting promos at my first job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
