RCA TK47 277 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 I noticed today during NBC daytime that they don't have them, but some affiliates are still rocking them in their bugs during regular programming & news. Anybody know if NBC has offered any instructions to affiliates to dump them and bring them back in January 2021? Just curious. I couldn't see stations hanging onto them for the next year and a half. Seems like overkill.
WCX-TV 17 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Here in Miami, WTVJ has dropped the rings and returned to its logo without them.
Georgie56 3324 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 KXAS reverted to the normal logo without the rings today.

SFTV 529 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 KNTV still has it on its daytime programming. However the Newscast and Social Media photos has been reverted back to the regular logo. ive noticed NBC Bay Area added a Stock Market bug underneath the time, temp icon on its newscast today.
Gavin 118 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Also all Telemundo stations to some extent will drop them don't know yet!!! Don't know about the other Universal Networks. Actually Telemundo stations dropped them as of today.
nathannah 2496 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 WTMJ went back to their regular bug (actually an introduction since they had their graphics change...it seems like months ago, but it was the start of the month!).

JacobC 44 Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 WTVJ has removed the Olympic Rings on syndicated program and on their newscasts.
Roadrunner 217 Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I'm sure we all knew the Olympics had a very tenuous chance of actually happening, but the allure of hope can be very addicting. Nonetheless, if this news story from News Corp's The Times in the UK becomes widely corroborated (already spreading like wildfire) and an official announcement is made, then the Olympics season will officially (again) be in the dumps and the rings in the NBC bugs will be for moot once again. [gratuitous Bill Hader reaction video here] ......until next year (right? right???!)
