TV Channel Overview
NBC PNG, formally the National Broadcasting Corporation of Papua New Guinea, is the country's state-owned national public broadcaster, headquartered at Five Mile in Port Moresby, National Capital District. The organization operates radio and television services, with NBC Television forming its national television arm.
NBC began in 1973 when broadcasting services were transferred from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as Papua New Guinea moved into self-government. Its television service was introduced in 2008, initially known as Kundu 2 Television. The channel carries national news, current affairs, public information, parliamentary proceedings, and other locally produced programs intended for audiences across Papua New Guinea.
News and information are central to NBC's public-service role, while its broader programming is intended to inform, entertain, reflect national identity, and represent voices from different parts of the country. NBC's television operations work alongside the corporation's national and provincial radio network, giving the broadcaster a distinctive place in Papua New Guinea's media system as a publicly owned service combining nationwide television with extensive regional radio coverage.
