Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation

Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (1964 Northern Rhodesia Broadcasting Corporation (NRBC), 1964 to 1966 Zambia Broadcasting Services (ZBS), 1966 to 1988 Zambia Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC)) is the public television and radio company in Zambia . It is based in the Mass Media Complex on Alick Nkhata Road in Lusaka . The director of the ZNBC is Peter Nangula.

ZNBC operates as a public service medium based on the Amendment Act of 2002. ZNBC is under the technical distribution of the Communications Authority of Zambia , which is based on the Telecommunications Act No. 23 from 1994. ZNBC's programming and operations are funded by fees collected from radio and television owners.

As the most important national mass medium, ZNBC is politically in a difficult zone of conflict. While the private broadcasters mobilize the masses politically and also take sides, ZNBC is obliged to be neutral, which makes almost every broadcast dependent on the general consensus between the parties, especially before elections. If the president does not appear for the round of candidates, the program must at least be postponed. How ZNBC reports is rarely discussed, but rather whether or not the claim that ZNBC is an opposition platform or that ZNBC is a government platform is true or not. In addition, the government thinks that public law means a power to set norms, which in fact means state influence. This demarcation is anything but clear to this day, and thus also the freedom of expression and freedom of the press in the country.
