It looks like there are clips from 3 stations, WICS TV 20 Springfield, IL, WEEK TV 25 Peoria, IL, and WGN TV 9 Chicago, IL. Always good to see vintage Central Illinois TV clips. And vintage WGN clips too!
19:58 Summer, 1984. You've got Lincoln Fest, 4th of July, and the Los Angeles Olympics to look forward to. Maybe the most American summer in history. Or if nothing else, a strong rival to the Bicentennial.
I'm guessing affiliates were given the OK to start using the new campaign while national stayed with the old until September? There's another video on YT where Saturday morning cartoons in August 1984 continued to use the 83-84 commercial bumpers but the voiceovers during the credits of those same cartoons had the 84-85 campaign. Confusing!
Generally speaking, summertime brings a mix of the past season and the coming season's graphics, and its often by choice of the affiliate based on what material to use. Generally speaking, the first promo of the coming season came out around mid-June after having some teasers of the new schedule upcoming season in the news. The network ident for the season "This is the NBC television network" would generally be introduced next (although CBS tends to be a bit on the later side, and in 1989, they didn't introduce that season's standard network ident until late November and 1990''s (also used for the '91-'92 season in December). Then the new seasonal promo graphics for a standard primetime promo (with the orange dots slanted with white text in the case of the 1984-85 season) generally first appeared sometime in August. Then there was that brief period where NBC used a rendition of the "Let's All Be There" theme with the 1981 movie intro before a different rendition of LABT was used for the new 1984 movies graphics package shortly after the start of the fall season.

Every time I see the 1984 Diet Coke commercials with a cameo of Weird "Al" in his Eat It garb and set, I forget that he did it...
1984: I wish we could skip these commercials.
2024: Let’s go on TH-cam and look for some commercials from 40 years ago.
Well said. Much better times back then.

Was that Elisabeth Shue in the Burger King commercial?
Kurt Vonnegut in the coffee ad!
Interesting how 22:01 is the 1984-85 graphics/campaign, then it reverts to 1983-84 at 23:01, then it's back to 1984-85 again at 24:05

Holy Transition!
Do All The Three Networks Do That Before The New Fall Season?
