Here's one more quick bit I found from WOR Channel 9 in New York - a slide with an excerpt of a live news update. These people must have had an early cable system here that picked this up.

Here's a "Special Delivery From Viacom" logo animation that aired at the end of the Twilight Zone Silver Anniversary special. I don't think I've ever seen this one before. Certainly a vast improvement in tone over the grim "V of Doom".

(I don't know if the audio's a bit wobbly or it's supposed to sound like that)
