→‎(July 29, 1983-May 24, 2002): I edited the ending date of this logo to 1990 since I couldn't find any proof of this logo being used after the show's "guy tied to a pole" era. I also took out Later with Bob Costas as every episode I watched had only an NBC logo at the end. If you can find proof of this logo being used outside of pre-1990 FNV, you may share it on this page.
