NBC Summer Repeats and Previews

I thought about posting this question in a couple of other threads, but I didn't want to derail the flow of conversation there, so...

For those of you fortunate enough to have seen TOS in the original network airings... we all know that they would have a one-minute preview for next week's show in between Act 4 and the Credits.

My question is: when the show was in repeats during the summer, were they still showing those previews?

My guess is that they were, but I don't know for 100% sure.
 
Well, there's this:

It's from the summer rerun, and the poster asserts that there was no preview because it was a summer rerun.

I knew this would come up. I think the preview was removed out of that print. I have had a copy of that for a long time. If you'll look in that last commercial break in between the Lay's and the Geritol commercials, there is a very nasty film splice. That's where the preview should have been. I think it was excised out of that print.

I have a copy of "Is There In Truth No Beauty" from a film print on the same tape as "Space Seed", and there is a minute long PSA in the same break position in addition to the 2 minutes of commercials. Someone removed the preview out of the "Space Seed" print, I am more than certain. I was just hoping for some clarity from someone who might remember just to satisfy my curiosity.
