American television and radio network
The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American English-language commercial broadcast television network and radio network. It is the flagship property of the NBC Entertainment division of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. The network is headquartered at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, with additional major offices near Los Angeles (at 10 Universal City Plaza) and in Chicago (at the NBC Tower).
History
NBC was founded in 1926 by David Sarnoff and was the first major broadcast network in the United States. It initially began as a radio network before expanding into television. The network's first broadcast was on November 15, 1926, and it quickly became a dominant force in American broadcasting.
Early Years
In its early years, NBC operated two radio networks, the NBC Red Network and the NBC Blue Network. The Blue Network was sold in 1943 and became the ABC network. NBC continued to grow and innovate, becoming a leader in radio and later television broadcasting.
Television Era
NBC began regular television broadcasts in 1939, and it was the first network to broadcast in color in 1954. The network has been home to many iconic television shows, including The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, and Friends. NBC is also known for its news division, NBC News, which produces programs such as NBC Nightly News and Today.
Programming
NBC offers a wide range of programming, including drama, comedy, news, sports, and reality television. Some of its most popular shows include This Is Us, The Blacklist, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The network is also known for its coverage of major events such as the Olympic Games and the Super Bowl.
News Division
NBC's news division, NBC News, is one of the most respected in the industry. It produces several high-profile news programs, including Meet the Press, the longest-running television program in history. The division also operates the 24-hour news channel MSNBC.
Sports Division
NBC Sports is responsible for the network's sports programming, including coverage of the NFL, the NHL, and the Premier League. NBC is also the exclusive broadcaster of the Olympic Games in the United States.

NBC has a large network of affiliate stations across the United States. These affiliates broadcast NBC programming in their local markets and often produce their own local news and other content.
