An ident for Turner Network Television – a full six years before the network launched! The TNT name seems to have been used for live broadcasts of sporting events – this example comes from an NFLPA "all-star" game. Interestingly enough, TNT's logo is somewhat close to the version seen when the network went on air in 1988, but not exactly there yet. The announcer here is prophetic – we DID get to see a lot more from them.
