In 1976, MCA, Universal's owner at the time, unusually turned over ownership of all their newsreels to The National Archives. This decision effectively ended Universal's copyright claim, releasing the films into the public domain. Many of Universal's newsreels can be found online, and have since become a popular source of file footage in recent years. | In 1976, MCA, Universal's owner at the time, unusually turned over ownership of all their newsreels to The National Archives.

'''Nickname:''' "The Screens" | |||
'''Logo:''' We start off with the Universal Pictures logo from the time, then it transitions to a top-down view of an ocean. A ship comes from the top of the screen. While the ship is passing, we see the text: | |||
THE NEW UNIVERSAL <br> | |||
Presents <br> | |||
<big>UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL</big> <br> | |||
COPYRIGHT (year) <br> | |||
UNIVERSAL PICTURES COMPANY, INC. <br> | |||

'''Variant:''' A variant with a different copyright year exists. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The logo fading in and out and the transitions. | |||
