New Cambria Public Broadcasting

New Cambria Public Broadcasting (French: Radiodiffusion Publique de Nouvelle-Cambrie; Keva: Mavđaves se Orvehi Đijoro) is New Cambria's national public-service broadcasting organization. Operating from studios in the country's capital, Arvant, as well as a number of regional centers around the country, the service broadcasts a variety of general programming to a wide audience across the whole country via four radio channels, three television channels, an Internet site and a weekly programming guide.

History
Public radio broadcasts in New Cambria began in 1929, and the first television transmissions were made in 1960. NCPB was established by the Parliament of New Cambria in 1970, and united the national radio (NCR) and television (NCT) enterprises under a single body.

Television

 * NCT One: A general-interest television service with newscasts, feature films, documentaries, sitcoms, talk shows, series, children’s programming, variety shows and live coverage of significant national events.
 * NCT Two: A more specialized service with programs generally aimed at narrower audiences, a wide range of live sports coverage, but virtually no news.
 * Channel Three: Variety of programming. Broadcasts shows and films in French during primetime on weekdays; children’s programming in the mornings; religious programming on Sunday mornings.  Channel Three also broadcasts Kevat, New Cambria’s only Keva-language television program, on Saturday evenings.

Radio

 * NCR-1: A traditional service with a variety of specialized broadcasts, reportages, newscasts and a wide range of music.
 * NCR-2: French-language programming between the hours of 6:00am and 8:00pm, with news updates in French interspersed hourly between other general and international programming throughout the night.
 * Three FM: A cultural service dominated by classical music, radio drama and other similar programming.
 * Zone: A more youth-oriented service with an emphasis on popular music, newscasts and news updates, talk segments, lifestyle reports and live sports coverage.

Income
NCPB receives its income from two main sources:
 * The television license fee: Within New Cambria, it is necessary to pay a fee of £163 per year in order to legally possess any piece of equipment capable of receiving television signals (not necessarily those of NCT). This money is collected by New Cambria Post on behalf of the Minister of Communications.  The state pays for TV license inspectors who have the power to obtain and execute search warrants of private houses.  Failure to possess a valid television license can result in a fine and a criminal record.
 * Commercial revenue, including the sale of advertising and sponsorship. There are quotas in place to limit the amount of revenue NCPB may procure through advertising, in view of the corporation’s license fee income.

These two sources are approximately split in a 50:50 ratio. The license fee does not fund NCR, the NCWeek, or the website NCPB.nw.

Programming
NCPB, which by the term of its charter is obliged to “promote the culture heritage of New Cambria” and “honor the basic democratic rules, human rights and the freedom of speech and opinion,” carries a substantial amount of arts, media and current affairs programming. In addition, it also supplies general entertainment in the form of feature films and such internationally popular television shows such as "Friends" and "ER." NCPB's lineups also include sports coverage, documentaries, domestically-produced entertainment shows and children's programming. NCPB runs two dedicated news services, one for English- and one for French-speaking audiences. On weekdays, NCR-1 radio network includes 45 minutes of regional opt-outs for local news coverage.

In accordance with its duty as a public broadcasting service, 90% of all programming on NCT-1 and 75% of programming on NCT-2 and NCT-3 must carry optional closed-captions for the hearing impaired. In addition, NCR-1 broadcasts detailed weather reports for New Cambria’s seafarers and other s who rely on weather conditions.
