The National Broadcasting Corporation has been Papua New Guinea’s national broadcaster for 50 years. NBC is the biggest state-owned media organisation in the country. We provide an essential service by delivering programs that enrich, inform, entertain, reflect national identity and give voice to the people, since 1973. We cover the entire country through our provincial stations. To this day NBC is well known as the “Voice of PNG”.

Our “Values” guide the daily behaviour and attitude of all our staff, while our “Principles” are the foundations of our work practices of “Honesty, Fairness, Independence, Respect for the Rights of Others, and Avoiding Conflict of Interest”.

Our “Editorial Policies” ensure that all News and program material is of the highest integrity, and can be trusted by the people of PNG, while our “Content Standards” relate to societal elements and therefore can be subject to changing circumstances.

Our History

NBC was born out of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Before PNG’s independence, ABC was providing broadcasting services to Papua New Guineans via radio service. In 1973 when PNG gained self-government, the ABC transferred the radio service to PNG and it was called NBC.

Since then NBC has evolved itself to become one of the best and most listened to stations. It has set up provincial radio stations around the country.

NBC started as a radio station and over the years it has expanded into television. More recently, NBC is also operating online, with a new website launched in 2023 and a presence on social media.
