{{Main|List of programs broadcast by NBC|List of programs previously broadcast by NBC|NBC News|NBC Sports}}
{{As of|2022}}, NBC provides 87 hours of regularly scheduled network programming each week. The network provides 22 hours of prime-time programming to affiliated stations Monday through Saturdays from 8:00&nbsp;p.m. to 11:00&nbsp;p.m. Eastern and Pacific Time (7:00&nbsp;p.m.–10:00&nbsp;p.m. in all other U.S. time zones) and Sundays from 7:00&nbsp;p.m. to 11:00&nbsp;p.m. Eastern and Pacific Time (6:00&nbsp;p.m.–10:00&nbsp;p.m. in all other time zones).

Daytime [[NBC News]] programming includes the morning news/interview program ''[[Today (American TV program)|Today]]'' from 7:00&nbsp;a.m. to 11:00&nbsp;a.m. weekdays, 7:00&nbsp;a.m.–8:30&nbsp;a.m. / 8:00&nbsp;a.m. - 9:30&nbsp;a.m. on Saturdays and 7:00&nbsp;a.m.–8:00&nbsp;a.m. / 8:00&nbsp;a.m. -9:00&nbsp;a.m. on Sundays, it also airs ''[[NBC News Daily]]'' at 12:00&nbsp;p.m.–1:00&nbsp;p.m. on weekdays, it includes nightly editions of ''[[NBC Nightly News]]'', the [[Sunday morning talk shows|Sunday political talk show]] ''[[Meet the Press]]'', weekday early-morning news program ''[[Early Today]]'' and primetime newsmagazine ''[[Dateline NBC]] on Friday nights''. Late nights feature the weeknight talk shows ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon]]'', ''[[Late Night with Seth Meyers]]'', and an [[graveyard slot|overnight]] replay of ''[[Today with Hoda & Jenna]].'' NBC affiliates carrying it in syndication also have the option to substitute a same-day encore of ''[[The Kelly Clarkson Show]]'' on weekdays. On Saturdays, the [[LXTV]]-produced ''[[1st Look]]'' and ''Open House NYC'' air after ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' (replays of the previous week's ''1st Look'' also air on Friday late nights on most stations), with a ''Meet the Press'' encore a part of its Sunday overnight schedule.

The network's weekend morning children's programming time slot is programmed by [[Litton Entertainment]] under a time-lease agreement. The three-hour block of programming designed mainly for 14-16-year-old teenage viewers is under the umbrella branding of ''[[The More You Know (block)|The More You Know]]'', based on the network's long-time strand of internally-produced [[public service announcement]]s of [[The More You Know|the same name]]. It premiered on October 8, 2016, giving Litton control of all but Fox's Weekend morning [[E/I]] programming among the five major broadcast networks.

Live sports programming is also provided on weekends at any time between 7:00&nbsp;a.m. and 11:30&nbsp;p.m. Eastern Time, but most commonly between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern. Due to the unpredictable length of sporting events, NBC will occasionally pre-empt scheduled programs (more common with the weekend editions of ''NBC Nightly News'', and local and syndicated programs carried by its owned-and-operated stations and affiliates). NBC has also held the American broadcasting rights to the [[Summer Olympic Games]] since the 1988 games and the rights to the [[Winter Olympic Games]] since the 2002 games. Coverage of the [[Olympics on NBC]] has included pre-empting regularly scheduled programs during daytime, prime time, and late night. In July 2022, NBC announced that the Olympic Channel will be shut down on September 30. NBC stated they will be announcing the plans for Olympic content in the fall of 2022.<ref>{{cite web|first=John|last=Ourand|url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2022/07/01/Media/Olympic-Channel-shutting-down.aspx|title=NBC to shut down Olympic Channel in September|date=1 July 2022|access-date=5 July 2022|url-status=live|archive-date=July 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220704042309/https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2022/07/01/Media/Olympic-Channel-shutting-down.aspx}}</ref>

===NBC News===
{{Main|NBC News}}
News coverage has long been an important part of NBC's operations and public image, dating to the network's radio days. Notable NBC News productions past and present include ''Today'', ''NBC Nightly News'' (and its immediate predecessor, the ''[[Huntley-Brinkley Report]]''), ''Meet the Press'' (which has the distinction of the longest continuously running program in the history of American television), ''Dateline NBC'', ''Early Today'', ''[[NBC News at Sunrise]]'', ''[[NBC Nightside]]'' and ''[[Rock Center with Brian Williams]]''.

In 1989, the news division began its expansion to cable with the launch of the business news channel [[CNBC]]. The company eventually formed other [[United States cable news|cable news]] services including [[MSNBC]] (created in 1996 originally as a joint venture with [[Microsoft]], which now features a mix of general news and political discussion programs with a liberal stance),<ref name="Auto8E-8">{{cite news|last=Bauder|first=David|date=October 30, 2008|title=Study: NBC News Doesn't Follow MSNBC's Partisan Drift|work=[[The Huffington Post]]|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/30/study-nbc-news-doesnt-fol_n_139162.html|url-status=dead|access-date=July 30, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160212050100/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/30/study-nbc-news-doesnt-fol_n_139162.html|archive-date=February 12, 2016}}</ref><ref name="Auto8E-9">{{cite news|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/39507182/ns/business-media_biz/|title=MSNBC to 'lean forward' in a two year brand campaign|publisher=NBC|access-date=October 13, 2010|archive-date=March 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200324040713/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/39507182/ns/business-media_biz/|url-status=live}}</ref> and the 2008 acquisition of [[The Weather Channel]] in conjunction with [[Blackstone Group]] and [[Bain Capital]]. In addition, [[NBCSN]] (operated as part of the NBC Sports Group, which became an NBC property through Comcast's acquisition of [[NBCUniversal]]) carries sports news content alongside sports event telecasts. Key anchors from NBC News are also used during NBC Sports coverage of the [[Olympic Games]].

===Former Daytime programming block===
{{main|NBC Daytime}}
While NBC has aired a variety of soap operas on its daytime schedule over its history, ''[[Days of Our Lives]]'' (1965–2022) was the last soap opera on the network when it was taken off the air in 2022 (and moved to the [[Peacock (streaming service)|Peacock]] streaming service). Currently the network only offers ''[[NBC News Daily]]'' on its afternoon schedule, with affiliates using the rest of the afternoon for syndicated or local programming.

Long-running daytime dramas seen on NBC in the past include ''[[The Doctors (1963 TV series)|The Doctors]]'' (1963–1982), ''[[Another World (TV series)|Another World]]'' (1964–1999), ''[[Santa Barbara (TV series)|Santa Barbara]]'' (1984–1993), and ''[[Passions]]'' (1999–2007). NBC also aired the final 4{{frac|1|2}} years of ''[[Search for Tomorrow]]'' (1982–1986) after that series was initially cancelled by CBS, although many NBC affiliates did not clear the show during its tenure on the network. NBC has also aired numerous short-lived soap operas, including ''[[Generations (American TV series)|Generations]]'' (1989–1991), ''[[Sunset Beach (TV series)|Sunset Beach]]'' (1997–1999), and the two ''Another World'' spin-offs, ''[[Somerset (TV series)|Somerset]]'' (1970–1976) and ''[[Texas (TV series)|Texas]]'' (1980–1982).

Notable daytime game shows that once aired on NBC include ''[[The Price Is Right (American game show)|The Price Is Right]]'' (1956–1963), ''[[Concentration (game show)|Concentration]]'' (1958–1973; and 1987–1991 as ''Classic Concentration''), ''[[Match Game|The Match Game]]'' (1962–1969), ''[[Let's Make a Deal]]'' (1963–1968 and 1990–1991, as well as a short-lived prime-time revival in 2003), ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' (1964–1975 and 1978–1979), ''[[The Hollywood Squares]]'' (1966–1980), ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' (1975–1989 and 1991), ''[[Password Plus and Super Password|Password Plus/Super Password]]'' (1979–1982 and 1984–1989), ''[[Sale of the Century (American game show)|Sale of the Century]]'' (1969–1973 and 1983–1989) and ''[[Scrabble (game show)|Scrabble]]'' (1984–1990 and 1993). The last game show ever to air as part of NBC's daytime schedule was the short-lived ''[[Caesars Challenge]]'', which ended in January 1994.

Notable past daytime talk shows that have aired on NBC have included ''[[Home (1954 TV series)|Home]]'' (1954–1957), ''[[The Ernie Kovacs Show]]'' (1955–1956), ''[[The Merv Griffin Show]]'' (1962–1963), ''[[Leeza]]'' (1994–1999) and ''[[Later Today]]'' (1999–2000).

===Children's programming===
{{Main|Children's programming on NBC|TNBC|Discovery Kids on NBC|Qubo|NBC Kids|The More You Know (TV programming block)}}

Children's programming has played a part in NBC's programming since its initial roots in television. NBC's first major children's series, ''[[Howdy Doody]]'', debuted in 1947 and was one of the era's first breakthrough television shows. From the mid-1960s until 1992, the bulk of NBC's children's programming was composed of mainly animated programming including classic ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Woody Woodpecker]]'' shorts; reruns of prime time animated sitcoms such as ''[[The Flintstones]]'' and ''[[The Jetsons]]''; foreign acquisitions like ''[[Astro Boy]]'' and ''[[Kimba the White Lion]]''; animated adaptions of ''[[Punky Brewster]]'', ''[[ALF (TV series)|ALF]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' as well as animated vehicles for [[Gary Coleman]] and [[Mr. T]]; live-action programs like ''[[The Banana Splits]]'', ''[[The Bugaloos]]'' and ''[[H.R. Pufnstuf]]''; and the original broadcasts of ''[[Gumby]]'', ''[[The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show]]'', ''[[Underdog (TV series)|Underdog]]'', ''[[The Smurfs (1981 TV series)|The Smurfs]]'', ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983 TV series)|Alvin and the Chipmunks]]'' and ''[[Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears]]''. From 1984 to 1989, the network aired a series of [[public service announcement]]s called ''[[One to Grow On]]'', which aired after the end credits of every program or every other children's program.<ref>{{cite web|title=The 1986 Saturday Morning Lineup on NBC|url=http://www.retroist.com/2009/03/20/the-1986-saturday-morning-lineup-on-nbc/|work=The Retroist|date=March 20, 2009|access-date=January 28, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140128015744/http://www.retroist.com/2009/03/20/the-1986-saturday-morning-lineup-on-nbc/|archive-date=January 28, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1989, NBC premiered ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', a live-action [[teen sitcom]] which originated on [[Disney Channel|The Disney Channel]] the previous year as ''[[Good Morning, Miss Bliss]]'' (which served as a starring vehicle for [[Hayley Mills]]; [[Mark-Paul Gosselaar|four]] [[Dennis Haskins|cast members]] [[Lark Voorhies|from]] [[Dustin Diamond|that show]] were cast in the NBC series as the characters they originally played on ''Miss Bliss''). ''Saved by the Bell'', despite being given bad reviews from television critics, would become one of the most popular teen series in television history as well as the top-rated series on Saturday mornings, dethroning ABC's ''[[The Bugs Bunny Show|The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show]]'' in its first season.

The success of ''Saved by the Bell'' led NBC to remove animated series from its Saturday morning lineup in August 1992 in favor of additional live-action series as part of a new block called [[TNBC]], along with the debut of a Saturday edition of ''[[Weekend Today|Today]]''. Most of the series featured on the TNBC lineup were executive produced by [[Peter Engel (TV producer)|Peter Engel]] (such as ''[[City Guys]]'', ''[[Hang Time (TV series)|Hang Time]]'', ''[[California Dreams]]'', ''One World'' and the ''Saved by the Bell'' sequel, ''[[Saved by the Bell: The New Class]]''), with the lineup being designed from the start to meet the earliest form of the FCC's [[E/I|educational programming guidelines]] under the [[Children's Television Act]].<ref name="DiscoveryKids">{{cite news|title=Discovery set to kid around with Peacock|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117856766.html?categoryid=1201&cs=1&query=|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121208161304/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117856766.html?categoryid=1201&cs=1&query=|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 8, 2012|first=Paula|last=Bernstein|work=Variety|date=December 4, 2001|access-date=August 13, 2009}}</ref> ''NBA Inside Stuff'', an analysis and interview program aimed at teens that was hosted for most of its run by [[Ahmad Rashad]], was also a part of the TNBC lineup during the NBA season until 2002 (when the program moved to ABC as a result of that network taking the NBA rights from NBC).

In 2002, NBC entered into an agreement with [[Discovery, Inc.|Discovery Communications]] to carry educational children's programs from the [[Discovery Kids]] cable channel.<ref name="DiscoveryKids"/> Debuting that September, the [[Discovery Kids on NBC]] block originally consisted exclusively of live-action series, including reality series ''Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls'' (a kid-themed version of the [[TLC (TV network)|TLC]] series ''[[Trading Spaces]]''); the Emmy-nominated reality game show ''[[Endurance (TV series)|Endurance]]'', hosted and produced by [[J. D. Roth]] (whose production company, 3-Ball Productions, would also produce reality series ''[[The Biggest Loser (American TV series)|The Biggest Loser]]'' for NBC beginning in 2003); and scripted series such as ''[[Strange Days at Blake Holsey High]]'' and ''[[Scout's Safari]]''. The block later expanded to include some animated series such as ''[[Kenny the Shark]]'', ''[[Tutenstein]]'' and ''[[Time Warp Trio]]''.

In May 2006, NBC announced plans to launch a new Saturday morning children's block under the [[Qubo]] brand in September 2006.<ref>{{cite news|title=Discovery, NBC to End Sat.

Qubo launched on NBC on September 9, 2006, with six programs (''[[VeggieTales]]'', ''[[Dragon (TV series)|Dragon]]'', ''VeggieTales Presents: [[3-2-1 Penguins!]]'', ''[[Babar (TV series)|Babar]]'', ''[[Jane and the Dragon (TV series)|Jane and the Dragon]]'' and ''[[Jacob Two-Two (TV series)|Jacob Two-Two]]'').

On March 28, 2012, it was announced that NBC would launch a new Saturday morning preschool block programmed by Sprout (originally jointly owned by NBCUniversal, [[PBS]], [[Sesame Workshop]] and [[Apax Partners]], with the former acquiring the other's interests later that year). The block, [[NBC Kids]], premiered on July 7, 2012, replacing the "Qubo on NBC" block.<ref>{{cite press release|title=NBC Will Launch NBC Kids, a New Saturday Morning Preschool Block Programmed by Sprout®, Saturday, July 7|url=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nbc-will-launch-nbc-kids-a-new-saturday-morning-preschool-block-programmed-by-sprout-saturday-july-7-2012-03-28 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120628234221/http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nbc-will-launch-nbc-kids-a-new-saturday-morning-preschool-block-programmed-by-sprout-saturday-july-7-2012-03-28 |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 28, 2012|newspaper=[[MarketWatch]]|date=March 28, 2012 |access-date=March 29, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=NBC to launch Saturday kids block|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118052022?refCatId=14|first=Jon|last=Weisman|newspaper=Variety|date=March 28, 2012|access-date=March 29, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120519174046/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118052022?refCatId=14|archive-date=May 19, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=NBC, With Assist From Sprout, to Launch Saturday Morning Preschool Block|url=http://www.multichannel.com/article/482478-NBC_With_Assist_From_Sprout_to_Launch_Saturday_Morning_Preschool_Block.php|first=Lindsay|last=Rubino|newspaper=Multichannel News|date=March 28, 2012 |access-date=March 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120508064838/http://www.multichannel.com/article/482478-NBC_With_Assist_From_Sprout_to_Launch_Saturday_Morning_Preschool_Block.php |archive-date=May 8, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=NBC Launches Preschool Saturday Block Programmed By Sprout|url=https://www.deadline.com/2012/03/nbc-launches-preschool-saturday-block-programmed-by-sprout/|first=Nellie|last=Andreeva|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=March 28, 2012|access-date=March 29, 2012|archive-date=August 10, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810232758/http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/nbc-launches-preschool-saturday-block-programmed-by-sprout/|url-status=live}}</ref>

On February 24, 2016, it was announced that NBC would launch a new Saturday morning block programmed by [[Hearst Media Production Group|Litton Entertainment]] under the Children's Television Act. It's called, [[The More You Know (TV programming block)|The More You Know]], inspired by the name of [[brand extension]] of ''[[The More You Know]]''—a series of [[Public service announcement|public service]] campaigns first launched by NBC in 1989.<ref>{{cite web |last=Garber |first=Megan |date=September 16, 2014 |title='The More You Know: There's More to Know |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/09/theres-more-to-know-about-the-more-you-know/380242/ |access-date=February 25, 2016 |work=The Atlantic}}</ref><ref name="band-more you know">{{cite web |last=Malone |first=Michael |date=February 24, 2016 |title=NBC, Litton Partner on 'The More You Know' Block |url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/programming/nbc-litton-partner-more-you-know-block/154074 |access-date=February 25, 2016 |work=Broadcasting & Cable}}</ref> The block premiered on October 8, 2016, replacing NBC Kids block (originally October 1, 2016, but postponed due to the [[Golf on NBC|NBC network coverage]] of the [[2016 Ryder Cup]]).

===Specials===

NBC holds the broadcast rights to several annual specials and award show telecasts, including the [[Golden Globe Award]]s and the [[Primetime Emmy Award]]s (which are rotated across all four major networks each year). Since 1953, NBC has served as the official U.S. broadcaster of the [[Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade]]. CBS also carries unauthorized coverage of the Macy's parade as part of ''The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS''; however, as NBC holds rights to the parade, it has exclusivity over the broadcast of Broadway and music performances appearing in the parade (CBS airs live performances separate from those seen in the parade as a result), and Macy's chose to reroute the parade in 2012 out of the view of CBS' cameras, although it continues to cover the parade. NBC began airing a same-day rebroadcast of the parade telecast in 2009 (replacing its annual Thanksgiving afternoon airing of ''[[Miracle on 34th Street]]''). In 2007, NBC acquired the rights to the [[National Dog Show]], which airs following the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade each year.

The network also broadcasts several live-action and animated specials during the [[Christmas holiday season]], including the 2014 debuts ''[[How Murray Saved Christmas]]'' (an animated musical adaptation of the children's book of the same name) and ''[[Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas]]'' (a stop-motion animated special based on the 2003 live-action film ''[[Elf (film)|Elf]]'').

Since 2013, the network has aired live musical adaptations with major stars in lead roles. Originally dismissed as a gimmick, they have proven to be rating successes, as well as a nostalgic tribute to the early days of television. Past adaptations include:

* ''[[The Sound of Music Live!|The Sound of Music]]'' in 2013 (starring [[Carrie Underwood]] as Maria Von Trapp)
* ''[[Peter Pan Live!|Peter Pan]]'' in 2014 (starring [[Allison Williams (actress)|Allison Williams]] in the titular role and [[Christopher Walken]] as Captain Hook)
* ''[[The Wiz Live!|The Wiz]]'' in 2015 (starring [[Queen Latifah]] as the Wiz, [[Mary J. Blige]] as the Wicked Witch and [[Uzo Aduba]] as the Good Witch)
* ''[[Hairspray Live!|Hairspray]]'' in 2016 (starring [[Ariana Grande]] as Penny Pingleton, [[Jennifer Hudson]] as Motormouth Maybelle, [[Kristin Chenoweth]] as Velma von Tussle and [[Harvey Fierstein]] as Edna Turnblad, reprising his role in [[Hairspray (musical)|the original Broadway production]])
* ''[[Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert|Jesus Christ Superstar]]'' in 2018 (starring [[John Legend]] as Jesus Christ, [[Sara Bareilles]] as Mary Magdalene and [[Alice Cooper]] as King Herod)<ref>{{cite news|last1=Paulson|first1=Michael|title=John Legend and the 'Jesus Christ Superstar' Cast on Faith and Musicals|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/arts/john-legend-and-the-jesus-christ-superstar-cast-on-faith-and-musicals.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=March 29, 2018|access-date=30 March 2018|archive-date=March 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330053845/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/arts/john-legend-and-the-jesus-christ-superstar-cast-on-faith-and-musicals.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
* ''[[Annie Live!]]'' in 2021 (starring [[Taraji P. Henson]] as Miss Hannigan, [[Harry Connick Jr.]] as Daddy Warbucks, [[Nicole Scherzinger]] as Grace Farrell and [[Tituss Burgess]] as Rooster Hannigan)

From 2003 to 2014, NBC also held rights to two of the three pageants organized by the [[Miss Universe Organization]]: the [[Miss Universe]] and [[Miss USA]] pageants (NBC also held rights to the [[Miss Teen USA]] pageant from 2003, when NBC also assumed rights to the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants as part of a deal brokered by Miss Universe Organization owner [[Donald Trump]] that gave the network half-ownership of the pageants,<ref>{{cite news|title=Trump moves pageants from CBS to NBC|newspaper=[[Tampa Bay Times|St. Petersburg Times]]|page=2B|date=June 22, 2002}}</ref> until 2007, when NBC declined to renew its contract to carry Miss Teen USA, effectively discontinuing televised broadcasts of that event). NBCUniversal relinquished the rights to Miss Universe and Miss USA on June 29, 2015, as part of its decision to cut business ties with Donald Trump and the Miss Universe Organization (which was half-owned by corporate parent NBCUniversal) in response to controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants made by Trump during the launch of his [[Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|2016 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination]].<ref name=deadline-nbcdone>{{cite web|title=NBC: Done With Donald Trump, Miss USA, Miss Universe – Update|url=https://deadline.com/2015/06/nbc-donald-trump-cancels-miss-usa-miss-universe-1201461913/|website=Deadline|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=June 29, 2015|access-date=July 1, 2015|archive-date=November 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108125954/https://deadline.com/2015/06/nbc-donald-trump-cancels-miss-usa-miss-universe-1201461913/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Miss USA headed to Reelz after being dumped by NBC|url=https://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/02/miss-usa-reelz-donald-trump|first=Christopher|last=Rosen|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=July 2, 2015}}</ref>
