List of Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation channels and stations facts for kids

The Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) is a big media company in the Philippines. It owns and runs many TV and radio stations across the country. This article will tell you about these stations, where they are, and what kind of broadcasts they offer.

IBC TV Stations Across the Philippines

IBC has TV stations that broadcast in two main ways: analog and digital. Analog TV is the older way of broadcasting, while digital TV is newer and offers clearer pictures and sound.

Analog TV Stations

Analog TV stations send out signals that older TVs can pick up. IBC has several of these stations in different parts of the Philippines. Each station has a special name called a callsign and broadcasts on a specific channel number.

• Main Station: This is the main broadcasting hub that creates and sends out most of the programs.
• Relay Station: These stations receive signals from the main station and then re-broadcast them to local areas, helping the signal reach more people.
• Partner Station: This station works with IBC but might also have some of its own local programs.

Digital TV Stations

Digital TV is the future of broadcasting. It gives you a much clearer picture and better sound. IBC is working on expanding its digital TV service to more cities.

IBC's digital TV also has different subchannels. This means one digital channel can carry more than one TV program. For example, on channel 13.02, you can watch IBC 13.

IBC Radio Stations

Besides TV, IBC also owns and operates radio stations. Radio stations broadcast sound programs that you can listen to on your radio.

AM Radio Stations

AM radio stations use a type of signal that can travel very far, especially at night.

FM Radio Station

FM radio stations offer clearer sound quality than AM stations, but their signals usually don't travel as far.
