The Singapore Broadcasting Corporation, colloquially referred simply as SBC, (Chinese: 新加坡广播局; Malay : Perbadanan Penyiaran Singapura) was a partially privatised mass market media conglomeration, which dominated the entire television and most of the radio broadcasting industry in Singapore during its existence. Prior to the liberalisation of the broadcasting industry, SBC holds a virtualised monopoly in Singapore in the broadcasting industry. SBC emerged in 1980 from the former government owned Radio and Television of Singapore in 1963.

SBC had since became the Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS) under a privatisation exercise in 1994, and subsequently MediaCorp in 2001 after the SIM Group of Companies becomes the Media Corporation of Singapore (MediaCorp) in 1999.
