I find it very difficult to believe NBC is the lowest ranking network station. Are you talking news-wise? News-wise, maybe it would be blasted out of the the water, because that is often how networks are judged in ratings. But NBC itself has some of the top-rated shows in history in its favor: The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Community, SNL, Friends, Law & Order, America's Got Talent, Hannibal, the Golden Globes, Miss USA & Miss Universe, The Tonight Show, The Late Night Show, plus a myriad of football programs.
