The Eurasian Broadcasting Group (EBG) is Eurasia's response to the great international news networks of developed, powerful nations, as well as Eurasia's attempt to promote public diplomacy and soft power. Founded in 1922 by the Wireless Telegraphy and International Media Act, the corporation employs 104,900 individuals with a budget of 79 million euras.
The EBG is an independent hybrid between a public corporation and a private corporation, run by the Eurasian Broadcasting Group Trust Commission (EBGTC). The EBGTC operates to ensure that the EBG is held accountable to the regulations of the Eurasian Broadcasting Quality and Standards Board, in addition to ensuring journalistic excellence and fulfillment of the EBG's core values.

History
The Eurasian Broadcasting Group was created in 1922 by His Majesty's Eurasian Government as both a shortwave civilian station and a longwave military communications array, after significant influencing committed by the Organisation for Eurasian Radio. The 1922 Wireless Telegraphy and International Media Act forged the foundation for the EBG, placing it under a charter that made the EBG directly accountable to Parliament so that levels of journalistic excellence and objectivity could be maintained. Whilst the charter did not explicitly call for the EBG to be financed by the government, the charter stipulated that the organization must remain free of "political and commercial bias", ruling out adverts. Therefore, the Prime Minister at the time, Victor al-Babik, created the television licence system - a system in which all individuals utilising a broadcast reciever in Eurasia must pay a small fee each month.
