This is less a promo and more a showcase of The History Channel's 1999 rebrand. Doesn't matter, because this look is absolutely incredible and still the network's best. It's anchored by a fantastic theme music package by RK Music. Original by Mixology Post: youtu.be/N5S06fqTXcs?...

If you look up the word "overkill" in the dictionary, you'll find this 1996 promo for WNBC's new Doppler 4000 radar. In this THREE MINUTE promo they make damn sure you know all about it. Again, this promo is THREE FUCKING MINUTES LONG. Original by Edd Kalehoff - youtu.be/i7aUTI2tDJE?...

The stunning 1998 image promo for Showtime, which introduced the channel's "No Limits" slogan and a new logo that is still in use today. Every frame is packed with gorgeous, surreal imagery. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Original by Kass Communications - youtu.be/xC9t8gULeZ8?...

This 1982 promo for WITI Milwaukee's TV6 News Update has to be seen to be believed. Set to the amazing Network Music track "Victory's Pursuit," it makes the news look WAY more exciting than it has any right to be. Original by The TV Madman - youtu.be/q5j1f5WW8Is?...

The on-air design of TBS in the 1980s was the work of an incredible team of designers led by John Christopher Burns. The distinctive all-video design looked literally nothing like anything on TV at the time - even on the networks. YT link by Jay Cordova - youtu.be/kysv9hRQtCc?...

Night Court, Golden Girls, and Bluesky patron saint ALF all heavily feature in the full "Come Home to NBC" promo from 1987, the second of four to use the "Come Home" moniker and probably my favorite NBC campaign. CW: Brief glimpses of Bill Cosby. original by eyeontv - youtu.be/21IATttfmsE?...

Cartoon Network would air long "image promos" after shows. This 1999 masterpiece, "Whiners Can Be Losers," has SEVERAL classic lines throughout. "SOLOMON GRUNDY WANT PANTS TOO" has lived in my mind for years. Powerhouse era was amazing. Original by Analog Memories - youtu.be/1oTetf0aPlI?...

Our last network campaign is Fox's first big one from 1988, "Don't Let Fox Weekend Pass You By!" This makes extensive use of a backlot with a huge Fox logo tower. Network president Jamie Kellner improved on this idea when he helped start The WB in 1995. Original by VPR2B - youtu.be/eNfPvtyrAgg?...

Richie Havens sings the rousing 1983-84 anthem for CBS, the first (and best) of three straight campaigns using the slogan "We've Got The Touch." CBS had the broadcast TV premiere of Star Wars that year so it figures heavily into the promo. Original by VintageTelevision - youtu.be/adt6oxLL9eE?...

"Let's All Be There" was the campaign in place when NBC finally overcame its 70s doldrums. This is the (superior IMO) 1984-85 version. Pay attention to the TV in the montage shots - one of the most inventive effects I've seen. Original by Sloan's TV Airchive - youtu.be/VvXPmYP5MhI?...

ABC Sports would end their broadcasts with a lengthy plug for both their sponsors and their upcoming programming. From 1993 to 1995, it was accompanied by what may be the best TV production music I have ever heard. Announcer is Dan Foley. Original by Official Sky - youtu.be/VgshlwDpkJU?...

Any TV Promo account has to include this: the iconic "I Want My MTV" campaign from 1983. One of the most effective ad campaigns ever, when this promo started airing in local markets, the local cable company *quickly* added the channel. Original by Beta MAX - youtu.be/HcVQo8LQ0qc?...

This one's admittedly borderline but it's close enough to count: the image promo for Comcast's then-new "We Make You Feel At Home" campaign from July 1990. It is the epitome of cheesy 80s image campaigns. I love this one so much. Original by pannoni 8 - youtu.be/003CXoj2muQ?...
