Logo descriptions by Shadeed A. Kelly
Logo captures by V of Doom and Bob Fish


Background:
Also known as NBC Enterprises, Inc., this was the production/distribution arm of the NBC Television Network for NBC off-network programs from 1957 to 1973, being later spun-off and folded into National Telefilm Associates because it was against the FCC regulations for a television network to distribute its programs under its own name. Nowdays, the library is currently handed by CBS Corporation, thru CBS Television Distribution and Republic Entertainment, Inc., except You Bet Your Life is retained by NBC Universal.
