New York Nonstop
Encyclopedia
WNBC-DT2 is a 24-hour
entertainment-oriented news service broadcasting on a digital television subchannel of WNBC
(Channel 4) in New York City. Originally conceived as an all-news rival to the established New York 1 cable news
television channel from Time Warner Cable
, New York Nonstop provides entertainment and lifestyle features with news updates every 15 minutes.
Both New York Nonstop and WNBC are owned and operated by NBCUniversal and are based in the GE Building
at Rockefeller Center
in the New York City borough of Manhattan
.
On May 7, 2008, NBC Universal announced plans for a major restructuring of WNBC's news department (including moving from Studio 6B To 7E). The centerpiece of the restructuring would be the creation of a 24-hour all-news channel, which would operate on WNBC's second digital subchannel (4.2). Channel 4's current news operations would be revamped and melded into the all-news channel, which serves as a "content center" for the station's various local distribution platforms.
The digital news channel, named New York Nonstop, launched on March 9, 2009. With the success of this format, other NBC-owned & operated stations soon followed suit, replacing "NBC Plus" on their secondary digital channels. In Fall 2010, WRC-TV
launched NBC Washington Nonstop
, WCAU-TV launched NBC Philadelphia Nonstop, and WMAQ-TV
launched NBC Chicago Nonstop
. On May 2011, stations in California (KNBC
-Los Angeles, KNTV
-San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, & KNSD
-San Diego) and in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (KXAS) launched NBC California Nonstop
and NBC DFW Nonstop
respectively. Days later, WTVJ
launched NBC Miami Nonstop.
