The Tashken Broadcasting Corporation (Corporation Craolacháin na Taghan in Scots Gaelic and Société Radio-Tashkén in French) is the national broadcaster for the Commonwealth of Tashkveny. Founded in 1927, TBC has since grown from a small radio station broadcasting news over the country to become one of the largest media corporations in the world, currently running over 50 television channels and 350 radio stations worldwide. The TBC is headquartered at Broadcasting House in Invertulloch and has major production centres in Anstruther, Ardlui, Bonaventure, Emeryville, Gatoche, Halifacs, Inbhir Àiliginn, Laomainn, Mòintichean, Montrose, Sumburgh and Yoker.
Within Tashkveny, the work of the TBC is funded by an annual television licence fee, which is charged to all Tashken households, companies and organisations using any equiptment to receive live television broadcasts. This fee is set annually by the Government of Tashkveny, and agreed to by Parliament.
Outside of Tashkveny, TBC World broadcasts by television and radio to over 150 countries worldwide, often in areas with little independent media, offering unbiased news and radio reports from conflict-zones.
