The NBC radio network opens with 24 stations

A widely placed full-page company advertisement stated that: "The purpose of the National Broadcasting Company will be to provide the best program available for broadcasting in the United States . . . It is hoped that arrangements may be made so that every event of national importance may be broadcast widely throughout the United States." As part of a renegotiation of the cross-licensing agreements, NBC was also permitted to accept advertising.

NBC's officially launched with a gala broadcast beginning at 8 PM EST on November 15, 1926.

It is very exciting to see what could come from this broadcasting company. Many other companies would spring up if NBC becomes a grand success. The future of radio is changing.
