MBC

The Magisterian Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) is a Magisterian commercial broadcast television network The network is headquartered at Magisterian Broadcast Complex in Annesia City, with additional major studios and offices in Calisota. MBC is one of the major television networks and is sometimes referred to as the "Star Network", in reference to its stylized star logo featuring the colors of the Magisterian flag.

MBC is the country's first and largest broadcaster in Magisteria, and it was the country's public broadcaster until a bill was passed in 1975 separating MBC's radio operations under its own public radio broadcaster Radiomag. Accordingly, MBC was privatized and was sold to media magnate John Andre. It also holds a virtual monopoly in French-language free-to-air broadcasting. Currently, it is owned by MBC Networks Group, a subsidiary of the VGC International Networks unit of Philippine media conglomerate VGC, which has acquired the network in 2021.

The birth of broadcasting in Magisteria
The Magisterian Broadcasting Corporation started as the public broadcasting arm of the Magisterian government in 1922, with commercial backing from Westinghouse Electric, which owned radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, dubbed as the world's "first" radio station. National Service (precursor to RM1) was MBC's flagship radio service, and was operating with commercial funding from Westinghouse and the British Marconi Company, another commercial backer. Otherwise, it was noncommercial and was funded through an "electricity tax" in each household's power bill. National Service operated as two radio stations: Radio One and Diffusion Antenne, serving both the Anglophone and Francophone communities.
