Established as a fledgling group of stations in late 2005 (TTN), the PBC has since grown exponentially.

abstract
| - The Prower Broadcasting Corporation, commonly known as the PBC, is a de facto public service broadcaster for the Federal Republic of Emeraldsbourg and the Home Islands. While not the largest broadcasting organization on Mobius, the PBC is listed near the top. The PBC is owned by The Miles Prower Company, however, the broadcaster is required to act as a public benefit corporation. Established as a fledgling group of stations in late 2005 (TTN), the PBC has since grown exponentially. Opponents of the PBC say that the company is a true "imperialist corporation", citing its uncontrollable expansion in recent years. While the PBC is not a public broadcaster per se, the corporation runs on a government charter and is funded by the public, making the PBC a de facto public broadcaster. The current charter expires on December 1, 2019. Many say that the charter is like the life force of the PBC; if it was ever to be destroyed, the PBC would never exist. The charter's second amendment (2010) prohibits the use of commercials on all domestic PBC channels; all revenue is collected through license fees for TTCable customers and annual charter grants. The PBC has a "shared resources agreement" with Echidna Radiodiffusion (ERD), Echidna Country's public broadcaster. As such, domestic PBC resources are used to cover the sovereign state in case of an emergency or any other event that compromises the ERD's ability to operate.
