ABOUT NBC

Papua New Guinea

 

NBC, formally known as The National Broadcasting Corporation of Papua New Guinea, is the largest national broadcaster in PNG, and the country's leading multiple platform media organisation with a developing presence in free-to-air television, national radio, youth programming and a growing online presence.

 

Since we began operations over 40 years ago, NBC has evolved, becoming one of PNG's leading entertainment and news content companies, with significant assets throughout the region.

 

The corporation is the home of two of PNG's most iconic media businesses - known previously as National Radio and Kundu 2 Television. We have the best geographic spread of any media organisation in PNG with more reach and frequency combined.

We are responsible for the production of some of Papua New Guinea's most successful entertainment brands.

 

NBC's content includes a combination of strong locally produced programmes and exclusive international content arrangements including news, current affairs, sporting events, entertainment and lifestyle programmes.

 

Technology has certainly changed the way we see the world through our television sets as we beam the latest information from around the world via satellite directly into your living room as we cover sport, news and current affairs to the light hearted events taking place across our nation and around the world.

 

Our company is expanding our presence in the further delivery of video content beyond our traditional broadcast channels and across an array of platforms. NBC is now creating more content than at any time in its history and we are expanding our presence as part of a strategy for today and the future: the expansion of production of local content that is relevant, uniquely PNG and entertaining.

 

Previously with a focus on the more mature market segment, the evolution of NBC to change and expand its content has been a response to viewers and listeners. With a long and proud tradition of delivering real news, accurate facts and informative content to Papua New Guineans, NBC is actively seeking to engage the young of heart and mind, The launch of our new FM radio station, Tribe FM, is part of a deliberate strategy by NBC to deliver fun, engaging and relevant content to PNG youth.
