Why the broadcasting stations from the east coast start with the w initial and the west coast start with k?
In 1923 the Federal Communications Commission ruled that all radio stations west of the Mississippi River would begin with a K and east of the Mississippi would start with a W. This practice stems from early organizational structuring of radio station frequencies. In fact, each nation's radio stations begin with a different letter.

What does the acronym NBC stand for?
Whilst it's true that the acronym WNBC stands for W National Broadcasting Company. The W is NOT a prefix indicating west of the Mississippi but, rather and counter-intuitively, EAST of the Mississippi. In 1912, several countries attended a conference to discuss international radiotelegraphs. One of the things that came out of that meeting was the assignment or specific letters to identify each country’s radio and television signals. The United States was given the letters W, K, N, and A. The letters ‘N’ and ‘A’ were given to military stations, but ‘K’ and ‘W’ were assigned out for commercial use. Radio stations east of the Mississippi River had to start their stations with ‘W’, and stations west of the Mississippi with ‘K’. There is some discrepancy though since radio stations that already existed before this rule was put in place weren’t required to change their name.
