NBC Television News uses a version of the original chimes for special breaking news reports that interrupt regular programming on the network and/or its stations (the tendency of this version to precede major events has earned this variant the nickname, the "Chimes of Doom"). From 1994 to 2005, NBC had the variants of the chimes for the production company vanity cards during the network's programming, as well as on the bumpers. However, it had new chime variants that were used in 2008 until 2009. NBC's on-air promotions for January 2008 featured the chimes prominently alongside the new slogan "Chime In" (in which that slogan was not debuted until the fall 2008 television season). Several used alternate versions tied to specific shows' themes: for example, ringing telephones for The Office; the ringing of cash registers for Deal or No Deal; and objects striking metal for America's Toughest Jobs. Similarly, the chimes have also been used for select promotions during the fall 2012 season. In 2017, NBC brought back the chime variants during the production logos shown after the closing credits of most programs, but with newer and more dramatic ones. In 2018, NBC introduced an "NBC Presents" vanity card shown before their in-house programming, which uses the chimes. Used as a time check by Philippine station DZRH, with the three note chimes played before time check after idents were played. During its inception in the 1940s, this station was an NBC affiliate, as KZRH. Other uses In 1938, NBC's Advertising and Promotions Director, E. P. H. James, made an agreement with NuTone Chimes of Cincinnati to provide chime sets for sale to the general public. The chimes were used in the dining cars for a few railroad and steamship company lines, starting with the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads. A line of toy chimes was also produced. That same year the network's fans could buy their own set of chimes from NBC for $2.95 each, with the suggested uses of "Call your family to dinner . . .signal your maid". 1938 also saw the installation of outdoor clocks, in New York City and Chicago, that rang the NBC chimes on-the-hour. In the 1940 Disney animated short film Fire Chief starring Donald Duck, the NBC chimes are used when Huey, Dewey, and Louie fall on top of Donald.
