Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) is a Philippine free-to-air television and radio network based in Quezon City. It is a state broadcaster owned by the Government Communications Group as part of the Presidential Communications Office (PCO). IBC was also known as "The Kaibigan Network" (the Filipino term for "friend") from 2019 to 2023. That was dropped in favor of the government slogan "Bagong Pilipinas", which is shared with PTV. IBC and the government-owned media companies People's Television Network and the Presidential Broadcast Service-Bureau of Broadcast Services are the media arm of the PCO, and it is a secondary state broadcaster primarily presenting education, culture, arts and sports programming. Its studios, offices and broadcast facilities are in Quezon City. As a government-run station, IBC received funding from the General Appropriations Act (the annual national budget) and sales from blocktimers (purchasers of airtime), advertisers and others. IBC operates two digital television channels: Congress TV and DWAN 1206 TV. Before its affiliation with the PCO, it was the sister network of Radio Philippines Network: a state-owned network of which the PCO owns 20 percent.
