Multi-part news skits

Whenever a Sesame Street news sketch was a multi-part sketch, did the Newsflash logo still open each part, or did it only open part one?

On the "Little Bo Peep" News Flash segment (which was two parts), they had the News Flash logo on both parts. When the second part began, the music and logo was the same, but the announcer (still voiced by Jerry Nelson) said, "We take you now to the sheep meadow for an update on the Bo Peep story!"

Don't believe me? See it in action!

Judging by how the Pinball Number Count is in this skit, and judging by what performers are there and the appearance of the News Flash logo, I am guessing this skit originally aired some time between 1977 and 1980. I believe the multi-part News Flashes were done in the 70s, since the Snowstorm one is from that decade, too.

Oh, and don't judge the Snowstorm skit by the Dutch version on Youtube. They just cut the News Flash logos on the dubbed versions (it'd probably be a lot of work, but they could just have a Dutch voiceover saying someing translated from "We now bring you this Sesame Street News Flash with Kermit the Frog!" in the Dutch language, of course.)

I didn't ask what year it was from, or when it was most likely made. And judging the original season based on the fact that Pinball Number Count is seen between them wouldn't prove what season it's from. The Pinball Number Count segments were shown in new episodes up until at least 1999 (I think one of them has been seen since 2002, but I don't know for sure). Sketches used to get repeated all the time (now it's usually newer segments that get repeated).

I was wondering about cut logos. I remember seeing an episode of Plaza Sesamo (I have a cable channel that's a spanish-speaking channel) which included Kermit's interview with Dr. Nobel Price on his piano invention, and recalled not seeing the logo. I wondered if the logo wasn't in those skits, since they were not in the Don Music skits, but then since it was a non-US Sesame Street program, I figured the logo would either be cut or replaced with alternate spelling.
