Those in the Mountain time zone can see the special (and the typeface used in the special's title) at 9 P.M. MDT, and those on the West Coast can see it at 10 P.M. PDT (August 31st).

Well the Paramount movie "Sahara" uses the same font (AKA Anklepants) in its advertising...of course Viacom is the Heir to the Westinghouse/CBS empire.

Provided that that font isn't copyrighted by Viacom (which inherited that special typeface with the Group W purchase).

NBC's Katrina special

Last night's NBC special about Katrina used the 80s NBC font.

Yes, this font, I'm pretty sure.
