WRC-TV

==WNBW==
===1947–1949===
The Washington's NBC story started in 1939 as a experimental station with W3XNB founded by the RCA, which company was also a pioneer in the introduction and development of television with its sister station, WNBT in New York. Originally, the station was first issued on channel 3 in 1941, but a few months later in order to alleviate interference with the future WSVA-TV, it was cancelled. On June 27, 1947, the eleventh TV station in the United States and the capital's second after WTTG, was re-licensed on Channel 4 and signed on the air as WNBW which stood as NBC Washington. It was the second original Owned and Operated NBC stations before WNBQ in Chicago, WKYC in Cleveland, and KNBH in Los Angeles.
===1949–1954===
==WRC-TV==
===1954–1959===
On October 18, 1954, WNBW changed the call letters to WRC-TV to match its then-AM radio sisters, making a tribute as the RCA with two sister stations from New York and Los Angeles until the Early-1960s; even nearly four decades after the radio stations were sold off and changed call letters, the "-TV" suffix remained ever since.
