The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American commercial broadcasting television network and former radio network headquartered in the GE Building in New York City’s Rockefeller Center with additional major offices near Los Angeles and in Chicago. NBC is sometimes referred to as the “Peacock Network,” due to its stylized peacock logo, created originally for color broadcasts.
Formed in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), NBC was the first major broadcast network in the United States. In 1986, control of NBC passed to General Electric (GE), with GE’s $6.4 billion purchase of RCA. GE had previously owned RCA and NBC until 1930, when it had been forced to sell the company as a result of antitrust charges.
After the 1986 acquisition, the chief executive of NBC was Bob Wright, until he retired, giving his job to Jeff Zucker. The network is currently part of the media company NBCUniversal, a joint venture of Comcast and General Electric. As a result of the merger, Zucker…
paidContent has long led the charge in covering, as they say, "the economics of digital content." This year they're hosting another conference event, called paidContent 2011, filled with round-table discussions, Q&A's, and keynote speakers from some of the web's leading content creators like Huffington Post, Gawker, and NBC Universal Entertainment. And you can be a ...
YouTube is actively pursuing deals with professional sporting leagues around the world in a bid to bring more live streaming sporting events to the video site. A Bloomberg report yesterday claims Google is in talks with "most sports leagues," including the NBA, the NHL, and multiple European soccer leagues to show live games on YouTube.
I have to admit that I'm tired. Sure, we all get tired, even superheroes. So let's make this short and sweet, yet still super, right?! Sometimes there just aren't enough of us to go round here at ReelSEO and things slip through the cracks. Today I'll try to catch everything that almost slipped by.
Yes, it was inevitable, another giant of broadcasting has created another app and tossed it into the ring to vie for online video viewer attention further diluting the market, further splitting our attention and further cluttering your iOS device home screens. I smell a conspiracy which just struck me while writing those sentences. Read on ...
Hulu, according to the Wall Street Journal, is rife with internal strife. It seems that there have been some meetings this week between the partners (NBC Universal, News Corp., and Disney) and the management of Hulu over the future of the company. At stake is nothing less than the company as a whole and that ...
comScore put out their Video Metrix for the final month of 2010 last week, I just didn't get around to it until now. They say, that again, 172 million U.S. users watched video online and they averaged 14.6 hours per viewer. We almost topped 6B video ads against 5.2B video viewing sessions. Oh and 14.6 ...
So it's been a couple weeks since I had a news round up. Mostly due to bring out at CES, then traveling back to Europe, then being completely wiped out by illness for over a week. Hence the Post traumatic CES Disorder edition of the news Reel today.
Social media has become the new watercooler for TV shows and that’s why we’re seeing a number of new Fourquare-like check-in services for TV shows emerge. TV networks from HBO to NBC to OWN are pairing up with the new players in social TV like GetGlue, Philo and Miso. For more details on the ad ...
When I was preparing a post about Red Letter Media's Star Wars reviews earlier in the week, I discovered something surprising. Well, it was surprising to me. Blip.tv--where Red Letter's latest video is hosted--doesn't share video view counts publicly on the website. It was important to me at the time, because I was trying to ...
Some might say that 2010 was the year of Internet TV's emergence. Sure, there were a lot of things that went right for it during the year and a couple things that didn't. So let's take a look at the highlights including the new Apple TV, Google TV, Hulu's rapid growth and more.
I know that CES is still a week away, but there have been some big news surrounding Google TV of late that I thought we might compile to demonstrate the hazards of reaching into the unknown and attempting to carve out a niche for a new type of product. As we all know, there have ...
So is it any surprise that retail and eCommerce sites showed massive uptakes last month? Nah, I didn't think so. How about Yahoo! unseating Google as top prop(erty) on the web? Here's a scary fact, the Google Ad network has more unique visitors than the actual Google sites. It reached 93.2% of US Internet users ...
ComScore dropped their monthly Video Metrix on us the other day and I've just been so busy that I couldn't get to it until now. All that research I was doing myself was taking up some time. But here we are, just a couple weeks left in 2010 and online video is as powerful as ...
So yeah, remember those studios who said Netflix is growing too fast and they are trying to band together and stop the "evil streaming empire" from continuing its wildfire-like spread? Well apparently, none of them had large black mouse ears because today, Netflix built a better mousetrap and nabbed Disney TV content along with some ...
Hulu, as far as I'm concerned, is in trouble. Their Hulu Plus service, which costs $7.99, is overpriced and still shows a ridiculous amount of ads and a limited amount of content. Their partners (and part-owners) like NBCU are making content deals outside of the family (most recently with NetFlix over next-day SNL streaming) and ...
