NBC: What Are They Pumping?

May 12, 2008 8:54 PM

NBC PumpNetworks always like to put a positive spin on things during upfront week. But a display at the NBC Universal Experience" Monday took upbeat thinking to a new level.

In an attempt to show all the many places where NBC programming can be seen, the company shipped in a gas pump that features a screen on which customers can check out NBC shows and other information. The price on the pump: $2.65 per gallon for regular.

As the theme song to a classic show from another network put it, "Those were the days."

—Josef Adalian
