 PROFILE
National Broadcasting Company gets by with a little help from its "Friends." The company, owned by industrial behemoth General Electric, owns the third-place NBC Television Network, which serves 13 company-owned stations and more than 220 US affiliates. NBC also operates cable channels CNBC and MSNBC, has partial ownership in channels such as A&E, and owns 32% of Paxson Communications. Although home to such long-in-the-tooth hits as "Friends" and "ER," the network has seen its ratings drop by about 6%. NBC's attempt to become a force on the Internet with its NBC Internet (NBCi) venture failed. The company decided in 2001 to buy the 61% of the NBCi it didn't own and dismantle the enterprise.
