The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP; English: Association of Broadcasters of the Philippines) is a broadcast media organization [1] in the Philippines which provides its members broadcasting standards. The KBP was organized on April 27, 1973 [2] in order to promote professional and ethical standards in Philippine broadcasting both in radio and television.
The KBP provides broadcast media regulations [3] and guidelines for news, public affairs and commentaries, political broadcasts, children's shows, religious programming, and including advertising to its members. The members of the KBP [4] are composed of the owners and operators of radio and television stations including the radio and television stations themselves.
The KBP's Broadcast Code [5] is a set of standards for performance and ethics to be followed by member radio and television stations. The Code [6] is in 3 parts: Part 1 includes the 33 articles of which the standards for programming [7] are illustrated. Part 2 pertains to the implementing rules and regulations of the KBP, while Part 3 outlines the penalties for violations.
The 33 articles of Part 1 cover all broadcast media (radio and television) that are members of KBP. These mainly cover how programs such as news and public affairs programs remain just, fair and unbiased in their views and opinions. The Code also states that news sources must be clearly identified, except when the sources meet a confidentiality condition. The Code provides correctional measures should a broadcast entity release non-factual information. The standards in the Code pertain to all types of programming and how these should be monitored when showing content that is sexual or violent. The KBP advocates the 18-minute advertising per hour rule for Philippine TV stations, the 18-minute rule [8] [9] was strictly implemented to prevent ads cluttering the TV programs.
Since 1990 the KBP has held the Golden Dove Awards, an annual awards recognition event [10] which pays tribute to broadcast practitioners for their contributions and achievements in the broadcast industry. The judges for each of the categories are from selected media practitioners, advertisers and the academic community. As of the 17th Golden Dove Awards [11] [12] they have been giving away awards for the following categories:
As of 2020, the Philippines has a total of 297 [13] television broadcast stations, up from 173 [14] in 1998. There are also 659 FM stations and 383 AM stations; this comprises regional subsidiaries and smaller entities in provinces and was based on the total number of National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) licenses distributed. Cable television (CATV) remains outside of the KBP's broadcast code, but the programs are still reviewed by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board of the Philippines (MTRCB).
