The History Of NBC
April 19, 2021 @ 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM
The history of NBC is perhaps the most storied and essential in broadcasting history. Its founder, the illustrious David Sarnoff, was the genius who turned a small local radio station into a gigantic, influential multimedia empire, always had dreams of greatness, and his tremendous vision brought his network along with him. His contributions to American popular culture cannot be overstated!
Although CBS had the early advantage in news broadcasting, NBC (an offshoot of RCA) eventually caught up
with Huntley and Brinkley. It took a while for NBC to compete with CBS in radio, but stars like Bob Hope made it possible. The history of NBC in the television years is especially intriguing. The National Broadcasting CompanyThe National Broadcasting Company probably debuted color TV and eventually became a perennial rating champion.
Along the way, NBC pioneered morning TV with ” The Today Show,” and late-night became and NBC’s staple with “The Tonight Show” with multitalented host Steve Allen and later the iconic Johnny Carson. And at a time when no one thought that late-night weekend programming would work, NBC revolutionized television with ”Saturday Night Live.”
In a more modern era, NBC invented “Must See TV” with a powerhouse lineup that included Fiends, Seinfeld, ER, Cheers and Nite Court. This kaleidoscopic multimedia presentation will have wonderful memories and great surprises around every corner!
