Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC)

The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), previously known as Rhodesian Broadcasting Corporation (founded in 1960) is a state-controlled broadcaster that changed its name in 1980.

Like the RBC, ZBC has been accused of being a government mouthpiece with no editorial independence. ZBC is the parent organisation of Zimbabwe TV and four radio stations, namely Power FM, Spot FM, National FM and Radio Zimbabwe. In 2005 then minister of information Jonathan Moyo divided the corporation into nine companies under the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings (ZBH) namely Newsnet, Transmedia, Sportnet, Power FM, Radio Zimbabwe, On Air Systems, Zimbabwe Television and National FM.
