Founded in 1920 through the Radio Creation Act, the Pinguinian Broadcasting Corporation was incorporated as a state-owned broadcaster that year and experienced massive growth due to the popularity of the radio. With the arrival of television in 1930, more services became available.
One event that marked the grow
The PBC operates as an autonomous hybrid public-private broadcaster. It is run by the Pinguinian Broadcasting Corporation Consolidation Committee (PBC-CC), an independent board of directors with broadcasting experience staffed by advisors that serve a maximum of two six-year terms.
It receives its revenue from license payer meaning there are no commercial adverts on any of the PBC channels. This way the corporation can focus on providing quality programming.
Affectionately referred to as Ping by Pacitalians, the PBC has developed into a core national institution through its long-standing reputation as a purveyor of high-quality media and of Pinguinian values to both domestic and foreign audiences.
