Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (abbreviation: SBC; Chinese: 新加坡广播局; Malay: Perbadanan Penyiaran Singapura) was a partially privatised mass market media conglomeration, which dominated the entire television and most of the radio broadcasting industry in Singapore during its existence. Prior to the liberalisation of the broadcasting industry, SBC holds a virtual monopoly in Singapore in the broadcasting industry. SBC emerged on 1 February 1980 from the former government owned Radio Television Singapore (RTS) on 15 February 1963.
