Change for the sake of change...as if this will cut into FoxNews' near-"ownership" of cable news programming?

Dream on... :roll:

Why tweak the MSNBC Channel? Why tweak the TWC logo? Why tweak the NWS weather icons?

Wow, it's pretty elaborate. :) It's always a little weird at first when these familiar logos etc. are changed.

I am assuming this means that Microsoft is parting ways with NBC??

There have been rumors for years and so far nothing has happened... it won't be NBC News Channel because that is the name of NBC's affiliate service.

"Proud as a peacock!"

That was NBC's advertising campaign from 1979 to 1981.

I'm not sure I've heard of that, but I probably have.

Yeah, buddy!

I also remember "Come Home To NBC!" and "Welcome Home!"

Of course, ABC's "We're Still The One" slogan was cool also. Of course, that was back in their glory days with shows like "Happy Days," "Laverne & Shirley," "Love Boat," "Mork & Mindy" and so forth.

Those NBC ones where back when Little House was still on and I think they carried over into the earliest "Must-See-TV" days with "Hill Street Blues" and "The Cosby Show."
