NBC Nightside (also known as NBC News Nightside) is an American overnight television news program on NBC, that aired from 1991 to 1998. The program was produced in three half-hour segments. It usually aired live seven nights a week from 1:00 to 2:30 a.m. Eastern Time, which was then rebroadcast on a looped feed until 4:30 or 5 a.m. local time, depending on the individual affiliate.
The program premiered on November 4, 1991, and was NBC's second attempt at a late night news program after NBC News Overnight, which ran for seventeen months from 1982 to 1983.
Nightside differed from its two competitors – CBS's Up to the Minute and ABC's World News Now, which are both based in New York City – in that rather than being broadcast from the headquarters of its news division, it was instead based out of the Charlotte, North Carolina facilities of NBC NewsChannel, a network newsfeed service providing customized reports and video of national news to NBC owned-and-operated stations and affiliates, and which was based in studios connected to those of Charlotte's NBC affiliate WCNC-TV (channel 36). Also unlike the other network overnight newscasts, which run only on Monday through Fridays, NBC Nightside ran in the early morning hours seven days a week.
Some of Nightside's many anchors went on to national success including Antonio Mora and Campbell Brown. Former NBC News president Steve Capus once served as a senior producer for the program.
