Syldavian Broadcasting Corporation

The Syldavian Broadcasting Corporation, commonly known as SBC and officially as CBC/Radio-Syldavia, is a Syldavian federal corporation that serves as the national public radio and television broadcaster in English.

SBC/Radio-Syldavia offers programming in English and Russian languages on its domestic radio service; in nine languages on its international radio service, Radio-Syldavia International; and in eight languages on its Web-based radio service RSI Web, a service for recent and aspiring immigrants to Syldavia.

The financial structure and the nature of the SBC often place it in the same category as other high-end national broadcasters, such as the British broadcaster BBC, although unlike the BBC (and more like the Irish network RTÉ and the Canadian network CBC), the SBC employs commercial advertising to supplement its federal funding on its television broadcasts. The radio service employed commercials from its inception to 1974. Since then, its radio service, like the BBC, has been commercial-free.
