The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC)
The NBC was established in line with the Namibian Broadcasting Act, Act 9 of 1991. In terms of this act the NBC is a juristic person. Its main source of funding is an annual state subsidy. Other sources of income are the sale of air time and programs, the issuing of yearly television licenses and the renting out of transmitters.
The NBC Radio Services is the most important source of information to the majority of citizens in Namibia. This applies especially to the rural population that does not readily have access to relevant information for making informed choices. The rate of illiteracy is approximately 40%, making radio one of the main sources of information.
