SBC International is Swilatia's main international news network. It was created in February 2007, when the Swilatian Broadcast Corporation (SBC) split into 4 sections. Before that the SBC did broadcast outside Swilatia, mostly countries bordering Swilatia, but SBC International was created so that the SBC could have a section that could focus mainly on international news broadcasting, and therefore could extend it's reach in countries outside of Swilatia.
SBC International's reports are shown in any country that so wishes it, and is also shown in Swilatia on one of the channels of SBC Telewizja Swilajska. While there is a slight focus towards what happens in Swilatia, however it is not focused towards natiions of any particular ideology, and there is a great deal of reports on events from foreign countries, both communist countries and capitalist countries.
