NBC
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NBC, whose letters once stood for The National Broadcasting Company, is an American television network that started in 1926 as a radio station. (Its first television progams aired in 1944.) It is owned by movie studio Universal and appliance company General Electric.
It is called "the Peacock Network" because of the title animal in its logo.
The network is also famous for its three-note chimes, and the "Must See TV" phrase.
