“Television for the home.” Here’s a statement from RCA boss David Sarnoff on the faith that he and RCA have in the burgeoning medium that Variety initially nicknamed “visio.” It didn’t stick. From the 3/20/40 edition of @Variety. #NBC100

NBC’s national radio network launched in November 1926. At first it was seen in the industry as a distribution platform rather than a media brand unto itself. But by the late 1930s, NBC had so much programming it launched a second network known as “the Blue” while the original was dubbed “the Red.” From the 6/28/39 edition of @Variety. #NBC100

It doesn’t get any more significant than the first commercial TV telecast in the U.S. NBC and parent company RCA pulled that off at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York. From the June 14, 1939, edition of @Variety. #NBC100

Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper. 

DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies. 

We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.

20 years ago today, I released a song that bought me this house. Whoever thought a song about being high as a kite on drugs, stalking someone else’s girlfriend would resonate quite so much? Thank you. You guys are beautiful.
