The Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC)
A. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) is a public
service broadcaster (PSB) and is the oldest Broadcasting
Station in Malawi. The Corporation launched its services in
Malawi, the then Nyasaland, on 16th January, 1964 and
started its services with one radio station which is now called
Radio 1 as the oldest in a group which now comprises a
second radio station and a Television Broadcasting Station.
In July, 1997, Government instituted a commercial oriented
station under MBC called Radio 2FM and in February of
2000, MBC established the Development Broadcasting
Unit (DBU) as an arm of MBC to provide a platform for
community generated participative content. On 1st July
of 2010 Government also directed that Malawi Television
Limited be part of MBC as the license for MBC enabled it
to operate a television service in addition to Radio services.
Following the said directive, MBC and Television Malawi
Limited (TVM) were merged into one entity in order to
provide public radio and television services efficiently and
effectively.
Currently under the Communications Act, 2016, MBC is

Corporation is to provide public broadcasting services
