I was hoping Butterfield would have mentioned something in his AP radio column when the chimes debuted.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-68748033576201785602012-03-21T20:11:09.542-07:002012-03-21T20:11:09.542-07:00This is fantastic!

While <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_chimes#The_.22Fourth_Chime.22" rel="nofollow">the Wikipedia entry</a> indicates the fourth note was rarely used after World War II, the network did bring it back out in 1976, to promote NBC's 50th anniversary special, which coincided with the introduction of their new 'N' logo.<br /><br />Since the fourth chime was used at one point to signal a 'major emergency', using it in '76 was kind of appropriate, since the network would fall below ABC and into the ratings basement where it would stay for the next eight seasons, and they ended up having to pay off Nebraska Public Television for copyright infringement for their spiffy new logo.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
