NBC News is the news division of the American broadcast television network NBC. The division operates under NBCUniversal Broadcast, Cable, Sports and News, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal, which is in turn a subsidiary of Comcast. NBC News aired the first, regularly scheduled news program in American broadcast television history on February 21, 1940. The group’s broadcasts are produced and aired from 30 Rockefeller Center, NBC’s headquarters in New York City. The division presides over America’s number-one-rated newscast, NBC Nightly News, and the longest-running television series in American history, Meet The Press, the Sunday morning program of newsmakers interviews. NBC News also offers 70 years of rare historic footage from the NBCUniversal Archives online.
NBCNews.com, formerly known as msnbc.com, is a news website owned and operated by NBCUniversal as the online arm of NBC News. Along with original and wire reporting, it features content from NBC shows such as Today, NBC Nightly News and Dateline NBC, the MSNBCcable channel, and partners such as The New York Times. The site was founded in 1996 as a 50-50 venture between NBCUniversal and Microsoft at the same time as the two companies formed a separate joint venture for the c
able news network MSNBC.
If you ever have any problems with NBCNews.com make sure you check out their downdetector. The downdetector is one of the many neat features on their website. Any problems within the last 24 hours will be shown on there and it will point you in the direction to get help.
Overall, I highly recommend this news website. NBCUniversal offers a wide range of news broadcasts and offers primetime content. If you aren’t in the mood to watch the news then turn on your favorite TV show!
