'''WNBC''' is one of the O&O's (owned and operated network) of the NBC television network and is also the flagship station of NBC. It is known for being the first TV station in America, first signing on at 1:30 pm on July 1, 1941, which was one full hour before WCBW (now WCBS). |
||
WNBC's history traces back to the experimental station W2XBS, founded in 1928 by RCA, just two years after NBC was established as a radio network. It was originally a test bed for the RCA Photophone theater TV system, which was experimental at the time. This station does have a few firsts. These include, the first televised Broadway drama (June 1938), the first live news event covered by a mobile unit (November 1938), and the first of 3 sports (baseball & football in 1939, hockey in 1940). |

WNBC is one of the O&O's (owned and operated network) of the NBC television network and is also the flagship station of NBC. It is known for being the first TV station in America, first signing on at 1:30 pm on July 1, 1941, which was one full hour before WCBW (now WCBS).

It was originally a test bed for the RCA Photophone theater TV system, which was experimental at the time. This station does have a few firsts. These include, the first televised Broadway drama (June 1938), the first live news event covered by a mobile unit (November 1938), and the first of 3 sports (baseball & football in 1939, hockey in 1940).
Visuals: A large 4 with the 1986 NBC peacock is shown, Then the "New York" script draws.
Trivia: This is based directly based on the station's ad campaign from August 1, 1992 to September 5, 1995.

The Mother's Day variant is used only in 1993, 1994 and 1995. The PSA variant is seen on the PSAs broadcast on the station during that period.
