1970’s NBC NEWS theme

[@ECG3485]

From movies to television to pop music, the great Henry Mancini did it all, and he did this theme as well

Yes he was great. Fortunately, his work lives on forever thanks to KZbin.

That's why NBC News has better themes than its rivals.

When this theme was in use, NBC had changed its logo from "The Snake" to the trapezoid N.

[@crabbymilton390]

I knew that but it seemed to fit. Hey, any theme by the late Henry Mancini is a good fit.

@@crabbymilton390 When NBC changed their logo from "The Snake" to the trapezoid N in 1976, NBC was calling their 1975-76 schedule a "Super Season, You're Gonna Like it a Lot". kzbin.info/www/bejne/q33LiH-HibeCjsk

Ah memories of childhood...: )

Was this with John Chancellor?

[@crabbymilton390]

I’m pretty sure it was and perhaps David Brinkley too since they were partners at the anchor desk.

[@David-yw2lv]

That was a much better logo by far than that stupid trapezoid.

The 1959-1975 "snake" monogram designed by John J. Graham, who also designed the 1956 and 1962 NBC Peacock logos.

[@robertorick6383]

@@David-yw2lv True. Both the 1956 "harlequin/diamond" peacock and the 1962 "Laramie" peacock were classic, much better than any other peacock logo they attempted.

Was the background supposed to change colors when broadcast?

[@crabbymilton390]

No. I added the color changes. Thank You for noticing that however.
