[edit] History

The New Denver Broadcasting Corporation was founded on 1 September 1949, taking over the broadcasting of state radio from the recently-dissolved Ministry of Public Broadcasting, after a government reform in broadcasting, splitting transmmision and overall control (Ministry of Broadcasting), state broadcasting (NDBC), and commercial broadcasting (National Broadcasting Ltd).

On 1 September, the NDBC launched three national radio station: NDBC Home, NDBC Light, and NDBC Classical, to take over from the old xPBA, xPBB, and xPBC stations respectively. Local radio stations were also rebranded.

[edit] Operations

The NDBC is divided into three broadcasting divisions: national radio, local radio, and television. The NDBC also has a news and online service.

[edit] Television

The NDBC broadcasts 8 television channels, four non-commercial and four semi-commercial. Three of these channels exist from the days of analogue television, wile the other five were introduced when digital television became available.

New Denver is the only OECD country that doesn't broadcast all its former-analogue channels 24 hours of the day. The main reason is due to limited funds through television licences and low viewership at night. Some channels only broadcast 24 hours at the weekend.
