'''NBC Enterprises''' was the syndication unit of [[NBC National IDs|NBC]]. In 1956, NBC started a subsidiary called [[California National Productions]] for merchandising, syndication and opera stage production. The subsidiary started producing The Silent Service that year. By 1957, NBC planned to remove the opera department from CNP and Earl Rettig was named president. CNP was also in discussion with [[MGM Television]] about handling distribution for the latter's series. Following the Financial Interest and Syndication Rules in 1971, NBC had to divest the [[NBC Films]] unit to [[National Telefilm Associates]], while programs from NBC News continued to be distributed internationally by NBC Enterprises for $7.5 million. In 1993, while the Fin-Syn rules were relaxed, NBC had returned to distributing off-net syndicated reruns of their programming under the name '''NBC Enterprises'''. In 2001, NBC Enterprises made a deal with Hearst-Argyle Television Productions to deal with their programming alliance to produce first-run syndicated series. In 2004, after the formation of NBC Universal, NBC Enterprises was folded into [[Universal Television Distribution]] to become [[NBCUniversal Television Distribution|NBC Universal Television Distribution]]

'''Trivia:''' This logo was based on NBC's on-air look from 1999 to 2002 (although on bumpers and promos for ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' and ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'' still featured glass feathers until the 2006-2007 season). NBC News' closing logo of the time also included glass feathers, and it was used till circa-2010s. The glass feathers are actual models that was filmed using motion control; more info [http://web.archive.org/web/20000815074657/http://designinmotion.com/.getarticle/.1454374240 here].
