No matter how many times I see it on YouTube, I still keep wanting to see the NBC logo again. It's just fantastic.

NBC was treated by RCA as a guinea pig for their various experiments in television broadcasting. CBS succeeded because they could focus more on the programming and the star quality. ABC took up the rear but made up for it with innovative concepts. That was how each of the networks gained their reputations and identities.

Yeah, NBC seemed like they put a lot more effort into their announcement than the other 2 companies.
-
talk about rubbing it in
-
Of all of the NTCPA's that were just featured, The NBC Peacock rules! CBS: the organ music in the background sounded too creepy. ABC: sounded more like the intro to the "Wide World of Sports".
-
We had a color set in early 1950's, LONG before the sixties came around! So, no, color TV wasn't "new" in the 1960s!
-
@forestm281 On a semi-related note, I read somewhere that DuMont is supposed to have had intentions of broadcasting in color (DuMont also made TV sets), but never made a color broadcast.

@TheTzdope "Friends"? Interesting concept. What is this "friends"?

NBC Peacock Thanksgivingby nathanlovers70,781 views
By far, the NBC peacock is the best of the three, and the CBS one is the worst. Those tones are hard on the ears!

@DJCandyManMike I always liked the peacock the best too!

Living color huh? I guess the rest was in dead Black and White.

@Sheri451 At the time, yes that is true. That is why it was a big announcement when something was in color.

@LoreneFaith It's funny isn't it. We had a color TV when I was little, but unfortunately not everyone did. My Grandparents didn't get one until 1970 I think.We must have watched NBC a lot, because I can remember the Peacock so vividly, and the music too.

@Sheri451 My Dad had to get a color television as soon as they were out. It was very exciting. I remember all three of the color presentation announcements. NBC was the most advanced in colored programming and offered the most selections.
