History Creator / NBC

* '''''Series/TheWall''''' (2016–present)

Some of the biggest flops in the network's history, such as ''Series/{{Supertrain}}'', ''Series/PinkLadyAndJeff'', and [[AudienceAlienatingEra the 1980-81 season]] of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', date from this era, with only a few successes (such as ''Real People'', ''Series/DiffrentStrokes'', ''Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters'') to speak of. The final straw was the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, which prompted the US Olympic team to boycott the [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames 1980 Moscow Olympics]] — and NBC, having bet the farm on Olympic programming that year, found itself broadcasting an event that Americans, without the home team to root for, couldn't care less about (it only did a grudging ClipShow to keep the diehards who couldn't care less about politics happy). Between RCA funding bad investments in an attempt to diversify (something that had been going on since a management change in the mid-1960s), the TroubledProduction that was the [[UsefulNotes/{{CED}} SelectaVision video disc]], the shift in TV sales from US brands to Japanese ones [[note]](indeed, some of ''RCA's own products'' {specifically their VHS UsefulNotes/{{VCR}}s} were already being made in Japan by Panasonic, which was itself a side effect of [=SelectaVision=]'s endless delays[[/note]], and NBC's continued poor performance, some wondered if the network would be shut down or sold off to keep RCA from going bankrupt.

In 1986, when the network commemorated its 60th anniversary, the very end of the show saw the copyright-infringing "N" logo (by that time, merged in with a re-done version of the Peacock inserted in 1979 at Silverman's insistence) dispensed with, and the unveiling of the 6-feathered Peacock logo featuring the main primary and secondary colors most viewers know NBC for today.

The [[https://nbc.com National Broadcasting Company]], owned by Creator/NBCUniversal (a unit of U.S. cable and mass-media giant Comcast), is the United States' oldest radio and TV network. NBC-TV is famous for its peacock logo, whose original purpose was to promote the network's "living color" broadcasts, and for this reason NBC is sometimes known as "The Peacock Network" or just "The Peacock". Originally founded by set manufacturer RCA to provide people who bought their radios something to listen to, NBC once had two radio networks: NBC Red and NBC Blue. In 1943, NBC Blue was split off into a separate entity by the FCC in an antitrust lawsuit, and went on to become Creator/{{ABC}}.
