List of former NBC television affiliates

The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is an American broadcast television network that originated as a radio network in November 1926, and expanded into television in April 1939. Throughout its history, the network has had many owned-and-operated and affiliated stations.

This article is a table listing of former NBC stations, arranged alphabetically by state, and based on the station's city of license as well as its Designated Market Area; it is also accompanied by footnotes regarding the present network affiliation of the former NBC-affiliated station (if the station remains operational) and the current NBC affiliates in each of the listed markets, as well as any other notes including the reasons behind each station's disaffiliation from the network. There are links to and articles on each of the stations, describing their histories, local programming and technical information, such as broadcast frequencies.

The station's advertised channel number follows the call letters. In most cases, this is their virtual channel (PSIP) number, which may match the channel allocation that the station originally broadcast on during its prior affiliation with the network.

Charlotte, North Carolina	WBTV 3	1949-1957 (secondary)	CBS	WCNC-TV 36	Secondary affiliation, with CBS as its primary affiliation. From December 1953 to March 1955, WAYS-TV (later WQMC-TV) served as a full-time NBC affiliate; however NBC allowed WBTV to "cherry-pick" its strongest programming because, in addition to its weak signal, television sets were not required to have UHF tuning capabilities at the time. Lost NBC affiliation upon the sign-on of WSOC-TV.
	WAYS-TV/WQMC-TV 36	1953-1955	Defunct		Ceased operations in March 1955.

ABC then signed an groupwide affiliation deal with McGraw-Hill, owners of outgoing CBS affiliate KMGH-TV, leaving NBC to affiliate with ABC's outgoing affiliate KUSA (in the process reuniting NBC with its original Denver affiliate: KUSA (then KBTV) carried NBC on a secondary basis before KOA-TV signed-on).

Subsequently joined ABC, but joined CBS in 1958 upon the shutdown of that network's affiliate, WNAO-TV.

Left NBC for good in 1971 due to an injunction filed against the station by WRDU-TV.
	WRDU-TV/WPTF-TV/WRDC 28	1968–1995	MyNetworkTV		Disaffiliated from NBC and became a full-time UPN affiliate (which WRDC had already been airing in late night) due to dissatisfaction by NBC over WRDC's persistent low ratings.

Ely, Nevada	KVNV 3 (now WJLP)	2001–2008	MeTV	KSNV 3	Served as a satellite station of Las Vegas sister station KVBC-TV (Ely is part of the Las Vegas television market). The station signed off in 2008, before moving to New Jersey in 2014 following a protracted review of PMCM TV, LLC's application to the Federal Communications Commission to relocate the station through a legal loophole that allows any VHF television station automatic permission to move to a state that does not have any commercial VHF stations of their own.

Reading-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania	WEEU-TV 33	1953-1956	Defunct		Ceased operations in 1956 due to dwindling market share as a result of VHF stations in Philadelphia (including NBC's then-affiliate in Philadelphia, WPTZ-TV) increasing transmission power.[9]

Then in 1970, KOTA-TV swapped affiliations with KRSD-TV and rejoined NBC over complaints by the network of its weak signal (a problem that would eventually result in the FCC forcing KRSD-TV off the air in 1976). KOTA-TV left NBC again in 1984 and swapped affiliations with ABC affiliate KEVN (who had taken the affiliation from KOTA-TV upon its 1976 sign-on) as a result of NBC's dissatisfaction over the station's constant preempting of network programming.
	KEVN 7 (now KOTA-TV 3)	1984–1996	ABC		Disaffiliated from NBC due to an affiliation agreement between Fox and KEVN's incoming owners, Blackstar LLC. NBC programming was unavailable over-the-air in the Rapid City market until KNBN signed on in 2000.

	KTBS-TV 3	1955–1960	ABC		Disaffiliated from NBC when CBS disaffiliated from KCMC-TV, citing that the signal of its Shreveport affiliate KSLA decently covered Texarkana, Texas, KCMC-TV's city of license. Fearing that it would have to make its secondary ABC affiliation its primary (since ABC was in last place among the three major networks at the time), KCMC-TV's owners successfully persuaded the FCC to collapse the Texarkana television market into the Shreveport market. KCMC-TV subsequently elevated its secondary NBC affiliation to primary status, while KTBS elevated its secondary ABC affiliation.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota	KSOO/KSFY 13	1960–1982 (secondary from 1960-1969)	ABC	KDLT-TV 46/KDLV-TV 5 (previously with NBC from 1960-1969)	Swapped affiliations with ABC affiliation KDLT-TV due to ABC looking for a stronger affiliate in Sioux Falls (at the time, NBC was in last place among the three major networks).
