NBC 4 New York, officially known as WNBC, is the flagship television station of the NBC network, located in New York City. It has a rich history dating back to its origins as experimental station W2XBS under RCA in the late 1930s and early 1940s, making it one of the nation's pioneering TV broadcasters[1][7]. The station adopted the WNBC call letters in 1960, reflecting its deep-rooted connection to NBC and its parent company, RCA[1]. WNBC has played a significant role in television history, notably as the birthplace of *The Tonight Show*, which started as a local late-night program in 1953 before becoming a national staple[1]. The station’s Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Plaza holds iconic status, hosting legendary hosts like Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, and currently Jimmy Fallon[1]. NBC 4 New York has also been known for innovative local programming such as *News 4: Live at Five*, an influential afternoon news and lifestyle show running from 1979 to 2007 that mixed news, interviews, and features[2]. Throughout its existence, NBC 4 New York has been at the forefront of broadcast technology and content innovation. It was among the first to convert to color broadcasts, transforming Studio I into the world’s largest color television studio in the 1950s[3]. As part of NBCUniversal (now owned by Comcast), it continues to build on a legacy of pioneering television news and entertainment, reflecting a tradition that began with NBC’s establishment in 1926 and Universal’s film heritage from the early 20th century[4]. Currently branded "NBC 4 New York," the station provides comprehensive local news, business, and technology coverage alongside national NBC programming. Its status as a major urban media outlet ensures wide influence in shaping public discourse and delivering cutting-edge broadcast journalism in one of the world’s most dynamic media markets[
