NBC

==International broadcasts==

===Canada===

NBC network programs can be received throughout most of Canada on cable, satellite and [[IPTV]] providers through certain U.S.-based affiliates of the network (such as [[WBTS-CD]] in Boston, [[KING-TV]] in Seattle, [[KBJR-TV]] in [[Duluth, Minnesota]], [[WGRZ]] in [[Buffalo, New York]] and [[WHEC-TV]] in [[Rochester, New York]]). Some programs carried on these stations are subject to [[simultaneous substitution]]s, a practice imposed by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] in which a pay television provider supplants an American station's signal with a feed from a Canadian station/network airing a particular program in the same time slot to protect domestic advertising revenue. Some of these affiliates are also receivable over the air in southern areas of the country located near the [[Canada–United States border]] (signal coverage was somewhat reduced after the [[Digital television transition in the United States|digital television transition in 2009]] due to the lower radiated power required to transmit digital signals).

===Europe and the Middle East===

NBC no longer exists outside the Americas as a channel in its own right. However, NBC News and MSNBC programs are broadcast for a few hours a day on OSN News, formerly known as [[Orbit News]] in Africa and the Middle East. Sister network [[CNBC Europe]] also broadcasts occasional breaking news coverage from MSNBC as well as ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon''.  [[CNBC Europe]] also broadcast daily airings of ''NBC Nightly News'' at 00:30 CET Monday to Fridays.<ref>{{cite web|title=NBC Now airing 1 hr episodes of Tonight|url=http://www.lateshowuk.com/shows/tonight-show/6323/cnbc-now-airing-1-hr-episodes-of-tonight|publisher=Late Show UK|date=April 24, 2010|access-date=January 28, 2014|archive-date=February 1, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201230851/http://www.lateshowuk.com/shows/tonight-show/6323/cnbc-now-airing-1-hr-episodes-of-tonight|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/uk--ireland-tv-schedule/|title=UK & Ireland TV Schedule|website=CNBC |date=June 13, 2014|access-date=September 6, 2019|archive-date=September 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190906004606/https://www.cnbc.com/uk--ireland-tv-schedule/|url-status=live}}</ref>

====NBC Super Channel becomes NBC Europe====

In 1993, then-NBC parent General Electric acquired Super Channel, relaunching the Pan-European cable network as NBC Super Channel.<ref>{{cite news|title=NBC Buys Into Pan-European Super Channel|url=https://articles.latimes.com/1993-10-02/business/fi-41359_1_super-channel|first=John|last=Lippman|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=October 2, 1993|access-date=January 28, 2014|archive-date=February 22, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222173848/http://articles.latimes.com/1993-10-02/business/fi-41359_1_super-channel|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1996, the channel was renamed [[NBC Europe]], but was, from then on, almost always referred to on-air as simply "NBC".

Most of NBC Europe's prime time programming was produced in [[Europe]] due to rights restrictions associated with U.S. prime time shows; the channel's weekday late-night schedule after 11:00&nbsp;p.m. [[Central European Time]], however, featured ''The Tonight Show'', ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'' and ''[[Later (talk show)|Later]]'', which the channel's slogan "Where the Stars Come Out at Night" was based around. Many NBC News programs were broadcast on NBC Europe, including ''Dateline NBC'', ''Meet the Press'' and ''NBC Nightly News'', the latter of which was broadcast simultaneously with the initial U.S. telecast. ''Today'' was also initially aired live in the afternoons, but was later broadcast instead the following morning on a more than half-day delay.

In 1999, NBC Europe ceased broadcasting in most of Europe outside of Germany; the network was concurrently relaunched as a German-language technology channel aimed at a younger demographic, with the new series ''NBC GIGA'' as its flagship program. In 2005, the channel was relaunched again as the [[free-to-air]] movie channel [[Das Vierte]] which eventually shut down end of 2013 (acquired by Disney, which replaced it with a German version of Disney Channel). [[GIGA Television]] was subsequently spun off as a separate digital channel, available on satellite and cable providers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which shut down as a TV station in the end of 2009.

===Latin America===

====Mexico====

NBC programming is available in Mexico through free-to-air affiliates in markets located within proximity to the [[Mexico–United States border]] (such as [[KYMA-DT]]/[[Yuma, Arizona]]; [[KGNS-TV]]/[[Laredo, Texas]]; [[KTSM-TV|KTSM]]/[[El Paso, Texas]]; [[KVEO]]/[[Brownsville, Texas]]; and [[KNSD]]/[[San Diego]]), whose signals are readily receivable over-the-air in border areas of northern Mexico. Some U.S.-based border affiliates are also available on subscription television providers throughout the country, including in the [[Mexico City]] area.

====Nicaragua====

In [[Nicaragua]], cable and satellite providers used to carry either select U.S.-based NBC and [[Telemundo]] affiliated stations or the main network feed from [[NBCUniversal]] or Telemundo. The main local affiliate stations distributed in Nicaragua were NBC 6 [[WTVJ]], [[Telemundo]] 51 [[WSCV]] in [[Miami]]. In addition to the NBC programming, they are also available by the NBC sister network Telemundo, a Spanish network based in the United States.

In late 2017, NBC affiliates stopped being distributed in Nicaragua and the rest of Central America. This decision coincided with other U.S. affiliated stations from ABC and CBS also being pulled off from the air in the region. This was due to concerns expressed by the broadcasters on broadcasting rights outside their original local coverage area.

====Canal de Noticias====

In 1993, NBC launched a 24-hour Spanish-language news channel serving Latin America (the second news channel serving that region overall, after [[Noticias ECO]], and the first to broadcast 24 hours a day), Canal de Noticias NBC, which based its news schedule around the "wheel" format conceived at CNN.<ref>{{cite book|title=Latinos and American Popular Culture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nW6jAQAAQBAJ&q=Launching+of+Canal+de+Noticias+of+NBC+in+1993&pg=PA54|publisher=[[ABC-CLIO]]|page=54|year=2013|isbn=9780313392238}}</ref> The channel, which was headquartered in the offices of the NBC News Channel affiliate news service in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]], employed over 50 journalists to produce, write, anchor and provide technical services. Canal de Noticias NBC shut down in 1999 due to the channel's inability to generate sustainable advertising revenue.

===Caribbean===

In the Caribbean, many subscription providers carry either select U.S.-based NBC-affiliated stations or the main network feed from NBC O&Os WNBC in New York City or [[WTVJ]] in Miami. In addition, the network's programming has been available in the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]] since 2004 on [[WVGN-LD]] in [[Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands|Charlotte Amalie]] (owned by LKK Group), while Telemundo owned-and-operated station [[WKAQ-TV]] in [[San Juan, Puerto Rico]] carries the WNBC feed on a digital subchannel.

====Bahamas====

In the [[Bahamas]], NBC programming is available via U.S.-based affiliate stations on domestic cable providers.

====Netherlands Antilles====

In [[Aruba]], NBC maintains an affiliation with [[Oranjestad, Aruba|Oranjestad]] station [[PJA-TV]] (which brands on-air as "ATV").

===Puerto Rico===

In [[Puerto Rico]], Telemundo O&O [[WKAQ-TV]] carries "NBC Puerto Rico" over their third subchannel, which is effectively a simulcast of WNBC with some local advertising and station identification.

===Bermuda===

Until it ended operations in 2014, NBC's entire program lineup was carried by [[VSB-TV]], using the [[Eastern Time Zone]] feed, though an hour ahead due to its location in the [[Atlantic Time Zone]]. Bermuda currently receives NBC service from [[WTVJ]] [[Miami]] via cable.

===Pacific===

====Guam====

In [[Guam]], the entire NBC programming lineup is carried by [[Hagåtña, Guam|Hagåtña]] affiliate [[KUAM-TV]] (which has been an NBC affiliate since 1956) via the network's East Coast satellite feed. Entertainment and news programming is broadcast day and date on a one-day tape delay as Guam is on the west side of the [[International Date Line]] (for example, the network's Thursday prime time lineup airs Friday evenings on KUAM, and is advertised by the station as airing on the latter night in on-air promotions). Live programming, including breaking news and sporting events, airs as scheduled; because of the time difference with the six U.S. time zones, live sports coverage often airs on the station early in the morning. KUAM's programming is relayed to the [[Northern Mariana Islands]] via [[broadcast relay station#satellite stations|satellite station]] [[WSZE]] in [[Saipan]].

==== American Samoa ====

In [[American Samoa]], NBC was affiliated with [[KBAD-LD|KKHJ-LP]] in [[Pago Pago]]<ref>{{cite web|title=US TV and Radio Overseas|url=http://www.astra2.org/ustv.html|publisher=Astra2 |access-date=January 28, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140122213723/http://www.astra2.org/ustv.html |archive-date=January 22, 2014}}</ref> from 2005 to 2012. Cable television providers on the islands carry the network's programming via Seattle affiliate KING-TV.

====Federated States of Micronesia====

In the [[Federated States of Micronesia]], NBC programming is available on domestic cable providers via [[Honolulu]] affiliate [[KHNL]].

===Asia===

====NBC Asia and CNBC Asia====

NBC Asia launched in 1994, distributed to [[India]], [[Japan]], [[Malaysia]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]], [[Thailand]], [[Pakistan]] and the [[Philippines]]. Like NBC Europe, NBC Asia featured most of NBC's news programs as well as ''The Tonight Show'', ''Late Night'' and ''Saturday Night Live''. Like its European counterpart, it was not allowed to broadcast American-produced prime time shows due to existing broadcast agreements with other domestic broadcasters. NBC Asia produced a regional evening news program that aired each weeknight, and occasionally simulcast some programs from [[CNBC Asia]] and MSNBC. NBC also operated NBC Super Sports, a 24-hour channel devoted to televising sporting events.

In July 1998, NBC Asia was replaced by a regional version of the [[National Geographic Channel (Asia)|National Geographic Channel]]. As is the case with NBC Europe, CNBC Asia broadcasts select episodes of ''The Tonight Show'' and ''Late Night'' as well as ''Meet the Press'' as part of its weekend schedule, and airs NFL games under the ''Sunday Night Football'' brand.

In August 2019, NBC acquired a minority stake in The News Broadcasting Corporation of India for operating across regional online news properties in local languages like [[Hindi]], [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]], [[Malayalam]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and [[Marathi language|Marathi]].

====Regional partners====

Through regional partners, NBC-produced programs are seen in some countries on the continent. In the [[Philippines]], [[Jack TV]] (owned by Solar Entertainment) airs ''Will & Grace'' and ''Saturday Night Live'', while [[Talktv (Philippines)|TalkTV]] airs ''The Tonight Show'' and NBC News programs including the weekday and [[Weekend Today|weekend]] editions of ''Today'', ''Early Today'', ''Dateline NBC'' and ''NBC Nightly News''. [[Solar TV]] formerly broadcast ''The Jay Leno Show'' from 2009 to 2010. In Hong Kong, the English language free-to-air channel TVB Pearl (operated by [[TVB]]) airs live broadcasts of ''NBC Nightly News'', as well as other select NBC programs.

===Australia===

In [[Australia]], the [[Seven Network]] has maintained close ties with NBC and has used a majority of the U.S. network's image campaigns and slogans since the 1970s (conversely, in 2009, NBC and Seven both used the [[Guy Sebastian]] single "[[Like It like That (Guy Sebastian song)|Like it Like That]]" in image promos for their respective summer schedules). The network's ''[[Seven News]]'' division has used John Williams-composed "The Mission" (the proprietary theme music for NBC News' flagship programs since 1985) as the theme music for its local and national news programs since the mid-1980s, though re-composed domestically to meet their own branding image. Local newscasts were also titled ''Seven Nightly News'' from the mid-1980s until {{Circa|2000}}. NBC News and Seven News often share news resources, with the former division using Seven's reporters for breaking news coverage and select taped story packages relating to Australian stories and the latter sometimes incorporating NBC News reports into its national bulletins.

Seven also rebroadcasts some of NBC's news and current affairs programming during the early morning hours (usually from 3:00 to 5:00&nbsp;a.m. local time), including the weekday and weekend editions of ''Today'' (which it brands as ''NBC Today'' to differentiate it from the unrelated [[Today (1982 TV program)|morning program of the same title]] on the [[Nine Network]]), ''Dateline NBC'' and ''Meet the Press''.
