'''Logo:''' Just on screen in-credit text saying, "[NAME OF SERIES] is an NBC Television Network Presentation" that's superimposed on the credits.
 
'''Variants:'''
*Some shows would have the card "An NBC (Television Network) Presentation", "(Produced) in association with the NBC (Television) Network", or "In Association with NBC - TV".
*Starting in 1967, the text is referred to as "An NBC Production".
*Some shows would have the text "Produced by NBC Entertainment" or "Produced by NBC Productions" would appear in the 1980s and early 1990s.
*Sometimes, another company is credited alongside NBC. For example, the in-credit logo on Little House on the Prairie had the text "In Association With ED FRIENDLY". In contrast, episodes of ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' and ''Late Night with David Letterman'' had the text "in Association with CARSON PRODUCTIONS". However, for ''Late Night with David Letterman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s final season (1992-93) with NBC, the "[[Carson Entertainment|CARSON PRODUCTIONS]]" credit was eliminated following Johnny Carson's retirement from ''The Tonight Show'' in May 1992 and replaced with a credit for "[[Worldwide Pants, Incorporated|WORLDWIDE PANTS INCORPORATED]]". (They did share credits from 1990-92.)
*Sometimes, during the '60s and '70s, it would also feature the in-credit NBC "Snake" logo.
*On the 1979 series ''Supertrain'', the card reads "an n.b.c. production," and below was a union bug and NBC copyright.
*On the unaired episode of ''Ed'', a {{color
|blue|blue}}-{{color
|moccasin|tan}} gradient background and a serif typeface reading "{{Font|Serif|'''NBC PRODUCTIONS LOGO'''}}" was used. Considering this was an unaired episode, this was likely used as a placeholder for NBC to air.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' The ending theme of any show playing or silent. On some shows, mainly in the 1950s, you would hear an announcer spiel: "In association with the NBC Television Network".
 
'''Availability:''' Common.
*It is currently seen on several episodes of ''Bonanza'' on TV Land and Me-TV, such as the season 2 episode "Day of Reckoning", ''Little House on the Prairie'' on COZI TV, and ''Daniel Boone'' on World Harvest Television and RTV.
*The NBC/Carson Productions in-credit logo appeared on ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' and ''Late Night with David Letterman''.
