(NBC Primetime, 1948 - )
[this series of movies and specials was one of the earliest
on network television; it started out as a weekly series
but became an umbrella title for special events seen on an
infrequent basis during the earliest years; this was during
the black-and-white days, but it foreshadowed the style of
promoting later color movies and specials in the late 1950s
and early 1960s...]
[a number of other compositions based upon the same motif were
written by New York jingle writer Alvy West to introduce
various programming including...
"NBC Presents Comedy";
"NBC Presents Documentary";
"NBC Presents Drama";
"NBC Presents Entertainment";
"NBC Presents Romance";
"NBC Presents Suspense";
"NBC Presents Variety";
"NBC Presents Western Saga"]
