Broadcasting Corporation of China

The Broadcasting Corporation of China (中國廣播公司 Pinyin:Zhōngguó Guǎngbō Gōngsī), BCC, is a broadcasting company of the Republic of China. It was founded as the Central Broadcasting System in Nanjing in 1928.

History

Central Broadcasting System is considered the first Chinese run radio station with a legit infrastructure. The first station in the Republic of China, however, was the 1923 Radio Corporation of ChinaMiller, Toby. [2003] (2003). Television: Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies. Routledge Publishing. ISBN 0415255023] . It was originally based in Harbin. However, since the Radio Coroporation of China was originally owned by RCA, the Chinese government shut it down.

CBS was originally established by the Nationalist Party. It made its first broadcast in 1928 with the Call sign of XKM, and later changed to XGOA. The station became the central point with multiple stations established in other major cities. The infrastructure was significant in controlling airwave communication and the any spread of propaganda.

The name was changed to "Broadcasting Corporation of China" in 1947. BCC was moved to Taiwan in 1949 when the Kuomintang government was defeated in the Chinese Civil War.

In 2005, following the government's policy to remove political and military influences from the media, BCC was privatized and sold to a holding company in the China Times Group. In December 2006, China Times Group sold BCC to UFO Radio, controlled by Jaw Shaw-kong, a politician with links to the New Party.

Present

Today, it is a privately-owned company under a Government contract, and it also has the most radio network services in Taiwan.
