Broadcast City was a television and radio broadcast center owned by the Philippine government. It is located at Old Balara, Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City. Broadcast City is the former home of TV and radio networks, BBC, RPN (until October 2012, now located at Panay Avenue) and IBC (until December 2018, now located at Capitol Hills Drive). It was built in July 1978 and founded by Roberto Benedicto and it was the most modern broadcast facility at that time. RPN has discontinued the usage of Broadcast City in October 2012 due to the network's privatization and IBC has discontinued the usage of Broadcast City in December 2018, and it is set to be demolished to give way for the Larossa Condominium project.[citation needed]
