'''Trivia:''' Many people think the announcer is mispronouncing the name Viacom. It is indeed long "i", like in "pr'''i'''ze", although the original pronunciation of the name pre-1986 was indeed with a short "i", like in "p'''i'''zza", hence the pronunciation "vee-a-com". Oddly, the post-1986 pronunciation was used by the announcer on the Magnetic Video logo several years before it became the official pronunciation. | '''Trivia:''' Many people think the announcer is mispronouncing the name Viacom.
