Tonga Broadcasting Commission

Tonga Broadcasting Commission is the first and largest broadcasting station in Tonga, solely owned by the government of Tonga. It operates two free-to-air TV channels, one AM commercial radio station, one FM commercial radio station, and a 24-hour Radio Australia relay station. TBC relies on profits from its TV & radio advertising sales, and from its retail radio shop outlet located in Vavaʻu. Its retail radio shop in Nukuʻalofa's Central Business District was among the numerous businesses destroyed in the riots of 16 November 2006.
