- TBC is a South Korea-based regional terrestrial television and radio broadcasting company operating primarily across the Daegu Metropolitan City and North Gyeongsang Province (Gyeongsangbuk-do). Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Daegu, South Korea, the company operates as an affiliate of the Kiturami Group and maintains a strategic network affiliation with the Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS). TBC generates revenue primarily through commercial broadcast advertising, media production, content distribution, and cultural event management.
The company provides a comprehensive suite of media and broadcasting services, organized across several key operational areas: terrestrial digital and ultra-high-definition (UHD) television broadcasting, including locally produced regional news, current affairs, investigative journalism, cultural documentaries, lifestyle programming, and regional sports coverage; network relay broadcasting, transmitting nationally syndicated drama, entertainment, and sports programming from SBS; FM radio broadcasting through TBC Dream FM (99.3 MHz and regional relay frequencies), offering music, news, talk shows, and traffic information; digital media and over-the-top (OTT) content distribution, encompassing online live streaming, video-on-demand (VOD) archives, mobile news applications, and targeted social video channels; broadcast advertising and commercial production services, including terrestrial airtime sales, corporate sponsorships, spot commercials, and custom brand marketing campaigns; and cultural and event management services, including the planning and hosting of municipal festivals, musical competitions, academic forums, and artistic exhibitions.
In recent corporate developments, the company officially changed its corporate name from Taegu Broadcasting Corporation to TBC in April 2023 to modernise its brand image and reflect its multi-platform media strategy. In July 2025, TBC appointed Kim Han-deok as Chief Executive Officer and President to spearhead operational modernization and strengthen local programming competitiveness. The company has also expanded its digital journalism initiatives and multi-channel network (MCN) content production, while continuously enhancing its regional UHD transmission network and automated disaster emergency broadcasting systems across southeastern South Korea.
