The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American television network and former radio network headquartered in the GE Building in New York City's Rockefeller Center with additional major offices in Burbank, California. It 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. In 1986, control of NBC passed to General Electric (GE), with GE's $6.4 billion purchase of RCA. GE had previously owned RCA and NBC until 1930, when it had been forced to sell the company as a result of antitrust charges. After the acquisition, the chief executive of NBC was Bob Wright, until he retired, giving his job to Jeff Zucker. The network is currently part of the media company NBC Universal, a unit of General Electric, which, on December 1, 2009, purchased the remaining 20% stake of NBC Universal which it did not already own from Vivendi. On December 3, 2009, Comcast announced it will purchase a 51% stake of NBC Universal. NBC is available in an estimated 112 million households, 98.6% of those with televisions. NBC has 10 owned-and-operated stations and nearly 200 affiliates in the United States and its territories. From Wikipedia under the

Q. when nbc shows track and field they never show the long jumping only the people who do all the running events and the high jump. plus they never show the event where you throw that big ball across the field. Asked by jeffmesa35 - Mon Aug 18 21:37:37 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't think the finals of those events have happened yet, and they don't show the qualifying rounds much. They aren't totally pro american because they showed the women's marathon for 2 1/2 hours and the best American got 33rd. I think they look for sports america is good at and sports america enjoys watching. I guess synchronized diving is more fun to watch than handball in America. Maybe it's just me but i didn't hear anything about whether or not the Spain-USA basketball was on NBC and I missed it. Big ball across the Field is called shot put if you want to look up results. Those events might be on CNBC or the USA network. Go USA!

The NBC broadcast was preempted here for a Pistons game, and I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything. Basically, are Al Michaels and John Madden doing the commentary on NBC, or is it the same on all 3 networks? Asked by Vishal - Sat Dec 29 21:54:25 2007 - - 12 Answers - 1 Comments A. Not really, except for some commercials. Sound was low in NBC compared to CBS and NFL. And by the way, No more illegal spygate videotaping by the PATRIOTS.
