[edit] About NBC on radio
Nation Broadcasting Company is a pioneer radio network operating in the Philippines since 1963.
NBC's trailblazing efforts over the years had made it a major industry player - becoming the first network to go on 24-hour operations outside Metro Manila, opening the first FM stations in the Visayas and Mindanao regions and bridging the archipelago for the first time via satellite broadcast.
In 1998, NBC became the only FM radio network in the Philippines with member-stations sporting names which represent their respective markets.
[edit] About NBC on television
Nation Broadcasting Company (NBC-41) is a commercial UHF television station owned by First Pacific Conglomerate headed by Manuel Pangilinan who is also the chairman of the telecommunications giant Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).
The name was unfamiliar to many Filipinos as they know it was just a regular radio station. NBC TV 41 used to be as MTV Philippines. MTV (abbreviation for Music Television) is a cable television network which was originally devoted to music videos, especially popular rock music. MTV later became an outlet for a variety of different material aimed at adolescents and young adults.
