Istian Broadcasting Company

The Istian Broadcasting Company (IBC) is the second television channel to begin operations in Istia, twenty years after Doordarshan. It started services on April 12th, 1979 with partial involvement of the government, which controlled 50% of the stocks, since private companies were not fully allowed to operate in the country. Following full privatization in 1991, it founded its own media group and is among the market leaders, usually appearing in third place in the ratings, behind Zee (who has a terrestrial service) and Sony.
