NBC Washington is the online presence of WRC-TV, a television station that has been serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area since 1947. The station was founded by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) as part of its expansion into local markets across the United States. The idea behind WRC-TV was to provide comprehensive news coverage and entertainment programming to the nation's capital and surrounding areas. Today, NBC Washington is owned and operated by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation. Based in Washington, D.C., NBC Washington covers a wide range of news topics, including local and national politics, community events, weather, sports, and entertainment. Given its location in the nation's capital, the station places a strong emphasis on political news and issues affecting the federal government. NBC Washington also provides coverage of the Maryland and Virginia suburbs, offering a comprehensive look at the entire D.C. metropolitan area. In addition to its television broadcasts, NBC Washington maintains a robust online presence through its website, nbcwashington.com, where viewers can access live streams, on-demand video content, and written articles. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of NBC Washington is its “News4 I-Team,“ an investigative reporting unit that has won numerous awards for its in-depth investigations into local and national issues. This team has uncovered significant stories that have led to policy changes and legal actions, demonstrating the power of local journalism in holding institutions accountable.
