Background

The Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, commonly known as IBC, is a Philippine state broadcaster. The network broadcasts to the Philippines alongside ABS-CBN, Radio Philippines Network, GMA Network, and TV5. It was founded in 1959 when DZTV Ch. 13 started its first broadcasts. Briefly, it was shut down by the Philippine Government under Ferdinand Marcos, but re-opened soon after, when bought by Roberto Benedicto, a crony of Marcos. When the EDSA Revolt ousted Marcos' government, IBC was sequestered for being a part of his crony capitalism. Today, the network ranks generally low.
