NBC

NBC is Monasoki's third-largest broadcast television network. NBC has operated in Monasoki since September 14, 1954, when Monasoki's first station, WQTV of Qubee signed on. Until 1976, NBC had no operations building in Monasoki. Instead, all network programming was received via satellite. Monasoki stations still supplied their own news but no network offices were located in Monasoki. In 1976, RCA announced that the Monasoki operations of NBC would be split off into its own privately-held company NBC of Monasoki Limited, that would be owned by the NBC executive. This allowed NBC to set up offices in Moccasins. The new offices was only used as a middleman service, as the split did not change any network programming received by the stations. Through the 1990s and 2000s, tension began to grow between the stations and NBC. For example, during that time, college sports and auto racing had become extremely popular sports. However, because Monasoki did not have a country-dedicated network, this programming was usually seen on high-pay channels by the end of the 2000s. Finally, the tension broke in October 2013, when the Monasoki Broadcasting System (MBS), the ruling television authority in Monasoki, allowed the executives of the Monasoki division of their respective networks to split from the original NBC. All the big four networks, including NBC, as well as cable specialty channel ESPN, split off officially on October 17. NBC immediately began to expand its offices at Moccasins to include three studios that could be used simultaneously, as well as offices for the executives. NBC set up additional smaller offices, or bureaus, in Qubee, West Point, Beijing, Ba Sing Se, Berlin, and New Eden City. In late-2014, the old NBC of Monasoki Limited name was dropped for a more favorable name, NBC Television Group. NTG would oversee NBC's recently launched NBCSP and NBC News Network cable channels.
