United Broadcasting Company

The  (commonly referred as UBC) is an American basic cable television channel owned by the broadcasting division of PolyGram. It was originally launched as a secondary television network on March 19, 1992 by the then-ABN Domestic Television Corporation. UBC has two flagship stations, KCOR in Denver, Colorado and WTNS in Nashville, Tennessee. About 300 of UBC's owned and operated stations have since been folded into a .2 UHF subchannel in some markets since the analog-to-digital transition in 2009, but over 150 UBC O&O's remain.
==History==
It originally began in 1946 as Universal Broadcasting Corporation and was one of the original Champion Television Group owned companies before the advent of ABN and United Broadcasting Company. Due to financial troubles, Universal Broadcasting Corporation closed operations in 1975. It would then be revived as United Broadcasting Company, co-operated by United Broadcast Communications, in 1992 by ABN Domestic Television Corporation.
On March 12, 2023, the ABN Group announced during a restructuring effort they would divest UBC to PolyGram, owner of broadcasting subsidiary PolyGram Broadcasting as part of the reduction of their debt load.
