Just in case some of you folks haven't known already, well, WRGB TV has since become a CBS affiliate AND all NBC programming can now be seen over on WNYT TV, NewsChannel 13.
And after looking at issues of The Schenectady Gazette (now known as The Daily Gazette) from 1981, when WRGB became a CBS affiliate, they dropped cartoons from their afternoon block.
General Electric would have kept owning the station until 1983 when it was sold to Unicom, Inc. But if GE would have kept owning Channel 6 today, it would probably end up with NBC once more in 1995, leaving CBS with WNYT Channel 13.
@@gcservernetwork7779 That also left WNYT with CBS. As soon as Paramount Stations Group sold its major affiliated stations to different owners (Hubbard, in WNYT's case), WNYT would eventually be sold to CBS Corporation. Thus, making it a CBS O&O.
WRGB 6 was an NBC affiliate in 1980? I never knew that, probably because I was born in 1980. When did it become a CBS affiliate? Was WNYT a CBS affiliate then?
But they learned a valuable lesson about actually making the shows as good as the promos. And that’s one to grow on. Of course, they forgot all that in the 1990s when Warren Littlefield turned it into a conveyor belt of crap revolving around a terrible *Living Single* ripoff.
Proud of what exactly? *Disney’s Wonderful World* getting beaten by *60 Minutes* every week when it’s not already getting preempted by football on the East Coast? Sitcoms without Gary Coleman or his former housekeeper flopping left and right? James Garner being too physically infirm to even do *The Rockford Files* anymore? The failure of every drama other than *Little House on the Prairie* and *CHiPs?* The money they lost because of the Olympic boycott when the advertisers pulled out the moment Jimmy Carter pulled the US team out of Moscow? The drama over Johnny Carson wanting to reduce the number of shows he does a week? RCA making it pay for the consequences of it getting into businesses it had no business getting into? The strike that pushed back the premiere of *Hill Street Blues* along with the rest of the schedule?

As you know, WRGB was an NBC affiliate at one time when it was "Proud As the Peacock", guess what! We're "LOUD As the Peacock". No one was proud to be the network, it had some lousy shows. "We're Loud!"
They may have been lousy shows, but at least none of them tried to make a role model out of someone guilty of horrific sexual violence against the LGB community.

Since 9/28/1981.
This might be one of my favorite versions of Proud as a Peacock... it's just so... different!
And two years after the affiliate switch, GE sold WRGB - which was very fortunate, given GE's subsequent acquisition of NBC.
After the switch to CBS, WRGB still had that 6 logo seen here until it changed to a Circle 6 logo by New Years Day 1982
Nice group shot near the end of the promo with the WRGB staff with Jim Delmonico (then WRGB VP/GM) in the center.
This is different from the previous localized versions of NBC's Proud as a Peacock campaign.

Of course
I'm guessing that it's because WRGB's signals overlapped with WNBC's, and that GE would have to get a waiver to keep both stations?
I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of WRGB-TV's TV-6, Proud As A Peacock Video Promo From Late 1980.
General Electric would have kept owning the station until 1983 when it was sold to Unicom, Inc.
But if GE would have kept owning Channel 6 today, it would probably end up with NBC once more in 1995, leaving CBS with WNYT Channel 13.

Could also be used for New Orleans' TV6, WDSU.
corrupt200 6 and 13 changed affiliates in 1981. And yes, WNYT (then WAST) was a CBS affiliate at the time.
In fact, WRGB went from NBC to CBS on September 28 of that year (1981).

The TV 6 logo looks a stylized 6
+Dominic Arceo It _is_ a stylized 6.
It resembles the NBC "N" logo. WSM-TV in Nashville had a similar "4" logo at the time.

Funny thing is, if WRGB didn't switch the following year, it would have become an NBC O&O a few years later, as its owner, GE, acquired NBC.
+johnnysama That would leave CBS with WNYT.

@newscaster13 Yes, this promo was for the 80-81 season, and they swapped affiliations with WAST (later WNYT) in September, 1981.

The next year, 1981. Ch 13 was WAST during the ABC & CBS years.
As it turned out, they weren’t so proud.

Channel 10 and 13 swapped affiliations in 1977, 4 years later 6 and 13 swapped again. Now you why viewers are not satisfied on everything.
So what your saying is, 10 was cbs, 13 was ABC and 6 was NBc
Because even if the shows were any good, they would be impossible to find.
