NBC as a network is not licensed. However, NBC does own television stations, which ARE licensed. Trump is issuing an implied threat to their O&O stations here.
Those constitute a small number of their total affiliates. Also the FCC does not fall under the authority of the Executive branch. He can fire the head, but that’s about it. He can’t give orders to pull anyone’s licenses.

He strikes where it hurts, and should, out in the countryside, not in the fortified corporate castle.

Those NBC owned broadcast stations and the other independently owned stations are purveyors of the security breech and responsible for their broadcast content. Their license to the air waves can be lifted
