  • The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American commercial broadcasting television network and former radio network headquartered in the GE Building in New York City's Rockefeller Center with additional major offices near Los Angeles and in Chicago. NBC is sometimes referred to as the "Peacock Network," due to its stylized peacock logo, created originally for color broadcasts.
  • Formed in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), NBC was the first major broadcast network in the United States.
  • The network is currently part of the media company NBCUniversal, which is a joint venture of Comcast and General Electric since 2011 (and before that, jointly owned by GE and current Universal Music Group parent Vivendi).
  • NBC has 10 owned-and-operated stations and nearly 200 affiliates in the United States and its territories.
