North Arlesburian Broadcasting Corporation

The North Arlesburian Broadcasting Corporation (NABC) is the public radio and television broadcaster of North Arlesbury. It was created by decree in 2003 and was oficially innaugurated on 31 March, 2004. The NABC consists of two sub-companies, Television North Arlesbury and Radio North Arlesbury.
==History==
===1935-1976 (radio)===
The "first" NABC was founded in 1935. Up until that point, what would become the NABC was a grouping of radio stations owned by the PTT, however it was still under PTT jurisdiction until 1940.
The NABC was admitted into the Eurectipherian Broadcasting Union as one of its founding members in 1950.
===1976-2004 (radio)===
The nationalization of the radio industry resulted in a series of changes to the NABC. For a start, the NABC would still exist but as a grouping of Television North Arlesbury and the then-renamed Radio North Arlesbury. Furthermore, there was a change to the structure:
*Program 1 consisted of the frequencies of the former National Program;
*Program 2 consisted of the frequencies of the former Cultural Program;
*Program 3 consisted of the NARC AM frequencies;
*Program 4 was being studied, yet the NABC was running semi-independent stations on the FM band since the 50s.
In 1979, the "program" structure was relinquished and RNA restructured its operations. Program 1 became RNA 1 and Program 2 became RNA 2. Program 3 and Program 4 became two derivations of the same service, North Arlesburian Commercial Radio, on March 12, 1979. The former Program 3 would run on the AM band and the proposed Program 4 on the FM band.
===1957-2004 (television)===
The NABC Study Cabinet has suggested a television service in 1954-1955. The television service would be separate yet managed by the government under the brand name Television North Arlesbury. Experimental transmissions started in September 1956 on the terrains of the People's Fairground amusement park in Plymouth. After six months of testing, regular television transmissions began shortly before 8:30pm on March 7th, 1957. Television transmissions colud be picked up by 65% of the population on the mainland and wouldn't become a nationwide service until the mid-60s. Television sets were expensive and were seen as a "symbol of city life". Most villages had at least one television set. During this phase, it was common to go to places with a television set to see the broadcasts. The opening theme until 1968 was "Fancy Lady", a John Lowry composition made for Northern Television in Nashland, this was replaced by a new piece, the TNA March, in 1968.
On Christmas Day, 1968, TNA's second channel began broadcasting, although it initially served as a "relayer" of TNA's first program mainly for repeats. TNA was viewed as a mouthpiece of the regime - the TNA News program was usually divided into two editions, one primarily showing national events and one focusing on international news. On the day of the moon landing, the news showed reports of the opening of a new dairy factory in Chichester at the start - rather than showing news about the moon landings, later to be shown overnight. Televisoin expanded to the Caines islands in 1972 and the Frontwater islands in 1975 under special services. Following the April Revolution, TNA was nationalized.
Color television experiments started in 1975 when TNA carried coverage of the 1975 parliamentary elections, however the country was in a poor economical status that it couldn't ask for a conversion. Programs were filmed in color starting in 1978 and regular broadcasts started in 1980, oficially in March and fully in November. On December 4th, 1980, TNA 1 was showing Coronation Street, which got to be interrupted due to the killing of the prime minister by the newly-"elected" South Arlesburian leader Pro Tect. Urban legends say that the rest of the episode of Coronation Street was never broadcast, though some people believe that the episode was repeated the following day, yet it was unadvertised due to the gravity of the events that meant that no "regular" programming could be easily broadcast. This affected the Christmas schedule in a way.
Until 1991, TNA owned the transmitter network. The de-regulation of the telecommunications sector and the creation of North Arlesbury Telecom resulted in the creation of a new company, North Arlesburian Telediffusion (NATD), in response to the creation of TV3 and Four. In 1993, TNA launched The Zone on the UHF network. The television services were re-structured in 1996.
===2004-present===
The creation of a larger public broadcaster dates back to 2000, when TNA, RNA and the NANA created a joint company called Global North Arlesbury. The company was dissolved in 2003 and two of the parties, TNA and RNA, proceeded to merge. The new NABC complex was opened at 19:00 on March 31st, 2004, at the same time the new NABC came into effect.
In 2006, the NABC started experimenting web radio services. The first service was Radio Mozart, which was shared between eight members of the Eurectipherian Broadcasting Union.
