My father, who was a longtime General Electric employee, told me the chimes were "G-E-C" in reference to NBC's sometime parent company General Electric Company. However, there's apparently no actual documentation of this connection.
Those might be the notes, but NBC was fully owned by RCA at the time. GE purchased RCA in, I believe 1986. At one time, however, GE DID own RCA, but that's way in the past. Even though they have a history together, they were kinda brutal enemies, at the time. RCA was the leader in just about everything, besides from telephones, at that point in history, which made pretty much everyone else upset. GE, Zenith, CBS, and IBM being their main competitors.

I wonder why the announcer hesitated on that one black and white ident. It sounded as if he was just making sure that they were showing the program in color, lol. My personal favorite is the one where the dude screws up and calls NBC "CBS," and then catches himself and by then it's past the point of no return because the ident is finishing up. Freakin' hilarious, man!
In all seriousness, can anyone confirm whether or not the logo at 3:24 is real? The channel appears to be abandoned so we aren't getting an answer from it anytime soon.
NBC had good reason to be gung-ho on color: NBC was owned by RCA, and the color system the FCC selected from the NTSC (National Television System Committee) was the RCA “dot sequential” system. So, NBC had a built-in (sort of) R&D department. Later on, NBC spent some money to come up with that two-part “N” logo. Too bad a university in Nebraska were already using that, having created it themselves! Reality is the weirdest thing, ever!
The NBC chimes is the scariest thing you'll ever hear during your lifetime when you are hearing on the radio, and on TV. This is right up there with the Screen Gems "S from Hell" logo.
Actually, it was the logo of NBC Films for the syndicated repeats of You Bet Your Life. When the show got transferred from WGN-TV to WFLD in the mid 70's, the logo was excised.

Nope. He is like, “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” *DED*
The peacock in 1957-20006? Is then got seizures rare from B&W variant
@@soraiamello9052*2006*
This variant is unknown at this point also it’s literally the peacock after eating a rice cake though
3:23 What show/film did this even come from? It still remains a mystery. Imagine seeing that on your TV screen in the 1950s.

Walter Cronkite wrote he once did something similar, saying NBC instead of CBS. There were no repercussions.

There was also a NBC Home Video Logo,too!
Yes it is! It has the instrumental version of “Our Pride Is Showing” theme which was used during the 1981-82 TV season.
The best NBC bumpers were the ones made by John Krisfalusi (Ren n' Stimpy). 😁

which one is it?
Not so scary at all. Are you joking?
agreed
What the hell even you are talking about?
It's known as the chimes of death now. Because it's plays when bad stuff happens now. Interrupts programming.
Re the concert music starting at 2:53. Maybe Robert Russell Bennett?
I saw NBC Xylophone
3:24
The Seizure is coming on the Peacock
Living color, as opposed to dead color
Color television sets were very expensive black and white sets were much more affordable.
🤣
There is one ident where the Peacock looks like he's in bad shape. The announcement is that "this program is brought to you in livid color."
@@gidzmobug2323It’s the Undead Peacock, maybe a halloween special bumper logo or either just another joke peacock.
The best was “brought to you in lively black and white.”
3:36 who is singing? Is it a show?
The cast of howdy doody, an old NBC show from 1947-1960.
