Located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the historic GE Building houses the headquarters of the NBC television network, its parent General Electric, and its local owned & operated television station, WNBC (Channel 4). NBC moved into its Rockefeller Center studios in 1936, and has remained there since. Originally called NBC Radio City Studios, countless radio radio personalities broadcast their shows from these studios, including Howard Stern, Don Imus, Wolfman Jack, and Cousin Brucie.
NBC's most famous studio is Studio 8H, the home of Saturday Night Live since 1975. 8H was once the largest radio studio in the world, originally home to the NBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. It was converted into a television studio in 1950. Studio 6-A has been home to Late Night with Conan O'Biren since 1993, when David Letterman left the network and the studio space he called home since 1982. The Tonight Show was taped in studio 6-B during the Jack Paar and early Johnny Carson years from 1967-1972 before moving to Burbank. Studio 6-B is now WNBC-TV's main news studio. Studio 3-C houses NBC Nightly News; Studio 3-B houses Dateline NBC; and Stdui 3-K is home to NBC Sports
