Panau Broadcasting Center

==The PBC==

The PBC (Panuan Broadcasting centre) is the most popular broadcasting agency in Panau. It owns the PNN (The Panuan news network) and was founded by Shen Malek in 1964 who was Minister of Media at the time. The PBC was Nationalised in 1973 under the rule of Varsan Panay and was brought under the full control of the Panay Family in 1977. The PBC headquarters is located in the pedestrianised city of Bandar Baru Nipah although was originally based in Panau city before the construction of Bandar Baru Nipah. Under the current rule of President Pandak Panay the Panau BC has been forced to censor most of its content in Panau and opinion and exaggeration are often blurred with facts. Effectively under the new leadership the Panau Broadcasting centres information is very un-reliable although a crucial tool to the President as he relies heavily on Propoganda to control the people. In late 2008 a Gunmen from the opposition group the reapers inflitrated the PBC Tower and broadcasted evidence of torture and horrific treatement of those who opposed the Government and provoked the protests and unrest that became widespread in 2009.

The PBC owns the only 3 channels on Panuan TV, PBC 1, PBC 2 and PNN. However due to the fact so many in Panau can not afford TV's only radios, the Panuan Free Radio broadcasted by the PBC is the most listened to in Panau. In 2005 the Government spokesman announced that free radios were to given to every law obiding household so they could listen to the 'voice of truth'. Also the PBC are responsible for broadcasts on propoganda trailers which are visible in pretty much every town.

The motto of the Panuan Broadcasting centre is 'Panaus voice of truth. So listen to it'. In Febuary the PBC shall celebrate its 50th anniversary with a visit from the President.
