NBC: NBC has evolved from its beginnings as a radio broadcaster into a diverse, international media company. In addition to the NBC Television Network and thirteen television stations (with an agreement to acquire a fourteenth), the company owns CNBC, operates MSNBC in partnership with Microsoft, and maintains equity interests in a number of additional cable networks. NBC also recently entered into an agreement to acquire Telemundo, the nation's second-largest Spanish-language media company. NBC is owned by General Electric, one of the world's leading corporations, with operations in more than 100 countries and more than 300,000 employees worldwide.
