The Foringanan Broadcasting Corporation, known on-air as the FBC, is a commercial English-language broadcaster on the Atlantian Oceanian continent of Foringana. It broadcasts to nearly all Pacitalians, Space Unionists, Izistanis, Amarenthians and Moepoeians, through terrestrial and cable/satellite provision. It is also the only network other than the PBC to have radio holdings through its old Independent Radio Stations arm (RSP). Formed out of the ashes of the old Independent Television Stations Cooperative of Pacitalia (TSP), the new FBC focuses on high-quality, informative, innovative and educational programming that benefits all viewers. While the venture was originally criticised for fears that it would "Pacitalianise" the rest of Foringana, being headquartered in Timiocato, the executives of the network countered this by opening major bureaus in the capitals of the other four states and improving news and programming production at those four bureaus. As of now, the FBC produces a national news bulletin for each of the five nations in addition to a "Foringanan" news bulletin. The FBC uses a "nature" theme for its on-air look, frequently also using dusk or night shots of major Foringanan cities in their on-air presentation.
