How EXACTLY did they introduce the current peacock that day in 1986? Was their animation, did a curtain fall, or what?

Is anyone home???

Someone find a source to verify this, please? Otherwise I will consider deleting that statement.

This says 1976 was when the "N" was introduced. Other websites I have seen say the beginning of the 1975-76 season. Which is it? WAVY 10WAVY 10 12:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If memory serves, it was January 1, 1976. They made a big fuss about it happening while showing the Rose Parade and all the associated programs. --Mhking 23:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have a version of the 1976 NBC "N" by itself? WAVY 10 14:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the closing credits for early first-season Saturday Night Live episodes (e.g., late 1975) included the NBC Snake, providing further evidence for January 1, 1976 being the debut of the N. Rreini (talk) 22:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I saw somewhere the Peacock actually had a name: Johnny Chimes, definitely in relation to the bong... BONG... BONGGGG! chimes NBC has used since signing on radio in 1926, and possibly also in honor of Johnny Carson (although that may be a coincidence). Can anyone back this up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.228.37.21 (talk) 21:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I removed this link because it goes straight to Chermayeff & Geismar's corporate home page, not a Wikipedia article. And when you try to click backwards to get away from from it, the bloody thing won't let you. Marketing dickheads clearly trying to be smart. Stuff 'em, I say.

Why is the third color (purple) from the left is like that?
