WNBC-TV ("NBC4") is the flagship TV station of the NBC television network, with studios located in Rockefeller Center in Manhatten. It was the first commercially licensed television station in the United States, debuting as WNBT (for NBC Television) on July 1, 1941.
It broadcasted on Channel 1 until 1946 when it was assigned to a new frequency. The station changed from Channel 1 to Channel 4 (VHF channel 1 has since been removed from use for television broadcasting). In 1992, WNBC was branded as 4 New York with the campaign entitled We're 4 New York. In 1995, WNBC was rebranded as NBC 4 with the newscast entitled NewsChannel 4.
On September 11, 2001, the transmitter facilities of WNBC-TV as well as six other local television stations and several radio stations were destroyed when two hijacked airplanes crashed into and destroyed the World Trade Center towers in the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack.
Helicopter Crashes
On May 4, 2004, while covering a breaking news of a shooting in Brooklyn, the WNBC-TV News helicopter suddenly fell out of the sky and crashed onto an apartment building rooftop. The pilot and two passengers were miraculously unharmed. Rival TV station WABC-TV's news helicopter was covering the same news story when they saw the WNBC-TV helicopter in trouble. They called for help and also got exclusive footage of the actual crash.
This is not the first incident of a WNBC-operated helicopter crashing. In December 1998, WNBC's news helicopter crashed into the Passaic River near Harrison and Newark, New Jersey. Twelve years earlier on October 22, 1986, WNBC-AM's N-Copter crashed into the Hudson River. The crash killed traffic reporter Jane Dornacker and seriously injured pilot Bill Pate. Dornacker had recently gotten back to flying in a helicopter after surviving a previous crash of the N-Copter into the Hackensack River in New Jersey a few months earlier.
