NBCU TELEVISION GROUP (cont.)

Universal Media Studios

Universal Media Studios produces or co-produces series and digital media projects for a variety of broadcast networks and online outlets. Its current roster features the Emmy-winning comedies The Office and 30 Rock; hit dramas House (for Fox), Heroes, and Friday Night Lights; and new comedy The Jay Leno Show, among others. Many of these series have been honored with prestigious Emmy, Golden Globe, Peabody, SAG, and People’s Choice Awards.

Additionally, the studio, along with Wolf Films, produces the powerhouse Law & Order dramas, the most successful drama series brand in television history. The three dramas from Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf include the original that began in 1990, along with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001).

Universal Media Studios was formed after NBC acquired Universal. The former NBC Studios first made its mark in the 1950s with NBC’s hit western Bonanza and went on to create numerous hit series, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Providence. Universal Television was created in 1951, and its roster of memorable programs includes Leave It to Beaver, Columbo, The Rockford Files, and Miami Vice, among dozens of others.

Late-night programs include NBC’s successful The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, and Last Call with Carson Daly.

Landmark programs in the longform arena have included Peter the Great (winner of three Emmys), An Early Frost (winner of four Emmys and a Peabody Award), the acclaimed miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man, and the first made-for-television movie, See How They Run, which aired on NBC in 1964.
