<DIV>The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson may have been the initial user of
this pulse. I believe the show A.D. triggered the pulse. Maybe the T.D. at the
A.D.'s cue. Since Tonight was a 60 network 60 local avail, it was essential to
let the affiliates know the break was coming. </DIV>

all:<BR><BR>Yes, NBC did use those lines/boxes for cueing. Up until the mid to
late '80's, NBC would use that form of alerting stations when to start quad
heads (flashing), and then roll (steady) for those shows that weren't
pre-recorded in advance and had timings distributed. Normally, MCR received
TWXs of all shows with pretty accurate timings. The exceptions were things
like: Tonight, Tomorrow, Today, etc.<BR><BR>(Good catch!)<BR><BR>Nick
