New NBC Marquee On 6th Avenue Unveiled This Week
In the style and tradition of the 49th and 50th Street entrances, NBC has erected the first ever 6th Avenue marquee to celebrate the return of ‘The Tonight Show’ to New York.
“The new marquee is a bold reminder that ‘The Tonight Show’ is back in New York City from historic 30 Rockefeller Plaza,” said John Wallace, President, NBCUniversal Operations and Technical Services. “Showcasing our iconic NBCUniversal programs and talent, plus improving the fan experience, are key elements of our comprehensive building redesign project.”
The placement of “The Tonight Show” marquee is part of the previously announced plan for extensive upgrades and enhancements to historic 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Ongoing renovation and restoration projects, including the Grand Stair and Mezzanine Rotunda, will be completed in the coming months. At least half of the job of replacing the GE signs atop the building is complete and a part of the updating and restoration. Thanks to Gil Muro, Geoffrey DeVoe and Brian Durr for the photos. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
By the way, yes…6th Avenue is also Avenue Of The Americas.
I wish Jimmy and TONIGHT all the best………….. as a guy who works in the industry in Burbank, I do miss having it here 🙁
Is this the audience entrance?
I left from work right under this new marquee yesterday morning. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me . . . .
But wait until you see what’s new on the OTHER side of those doors . . !
Ew is it Sara?
Too bad it kind of obscures the mural behind it…
I’ve never watched the Tonight Show since it moved to NYC and Jay left. Never will.
Used to stand on the 49th street side and smoke a cigar during lunch.
