Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) CBS Thursday Night Movie
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The purpose of this file will be to connect a reading audience visually to a time when not all TV programming was produced in color. The logo was projected by CBS at the start of each CBS Thursday Night Movie broadcast during the mid-1960's to introduce a color film from the anthology's initial season and for 2 or 3 more seasons thereafter.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The frame (or the image) is from the actual animated logo, which is non-free. A duplication of the exact image and color gradation of each letter in the image would be difficult, if not improbable, and therefore not convey the feeling of authenticity desired by any comparable image-representative of the article content's meaning. In other words, it is not replaceable with a non-copyrighted image of comparable meaning, and is therefore declared as fair use.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image will be used at the top of the article only.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Other information CBS has not used the image since the late 1960's, when color broadcasts did finally become the norm on American television. The message the image was meant to convey is that the network strives to keep up with the state-of-the-art of its industry. Use of this image could serve as a reminder of that idea, and thus it is argued that use of the file here will not be in any way that will harm the owner (CBS) commercially.
