The Kelssek Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), a National corporation, is Kelssek's national radio and television broadcaster. In French, it is called la Société Radio-Kelssek (Radio-Kelssek or SRK). It operates autonomously from the government; is responsible to the Parliament of Kelssek and is publicly funded through the Department of Heritage, which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

The KBC is the country's oldest and largest broadcasting service, and has global reach through extensive use of satellite broadcasting. Already highly recognised for the quality of its programming and arguably the East Pacific's most reputed broadcaster, the KBC's stated aim is to expand its global stature. It was established in its present form on November 2, 1936. Its website is at http://kelssek.tripod.com/kbc and features a downloadable podcast.

Radio programming is free of commercial advertising, while KBC Television is bound by the same restrictions imposed other television providers of no more than 16 minutes per hour and a ban on advertising during shows aimed at young children. In addition, the KBC must have 66% of "Kelcon" - Kelssek-produced programs or with significant involvement by Kelssekians - in its daily programming.

Domestically, the KBC uses the tagline "Your KBC", alluding to its public, independent status, adding "Anywhere, Anytime" to promotions for Newsworld and news-related services like its website and the World Service.

The KBC is especially known for its international radio services. The English World Service and the French Radio Monde are broadcast internationally, primarily with satellite technology. All Kelssekian embassies sell KBC satellite radio receivers for the local equivalent of 1 Kelssek dollar, and for free in some countries.

The KBC also distributes its television programming internationally. It broadcasts the Galaxie and Premiere channels as well as KBC Newsworld in English and French, using satellites with global coverage as well as through domestic cable outlets. The KBC spends almost KSD 80 million distributing satellite decoders for free worldwide, which allows the viewing of all KBC programming.
