The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American commercial broadcast television network that is the flagship property of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast.

The network is headquartered in the Comcast Building (formerly known as the GE Building) at Rockefeller Center in New York City, with additional major offices near Los Angeles (at Universal City Plaza), Chicago (at the NBC Tower) and soon in Philadelphia at Comcast Innovation and Technology Center.

The network is part of the Big Three television networks.

NBC is sometimes referred to as the "Peacock Network", in reference to its stylized peacock logo, which was originally created in 1956 for its then-new color broadcasts and became the network's official emblem in 1979.

Today (stylized as TODAY), also called The Today Show, is an American news and talk morning television show that airs on NBC.

The program debuted on January 14, 1952.

It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest-running American television series.

Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays (a one-hour program) in 1987 and Saturdays (running for two hours) in 1992.

The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007.

A music video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes.

Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings.

There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song.

Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys or marketing campaigns for food and other products.

Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium.

Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip".
