History
BBN was founded in 1978 by Rene Anderson. Anderson disliked the public BR&T because of its over-reliance on speeches and drama series that were mostly long monologues. According to him there was also too much political influence at that time in the BR&T. The government tried to block the new station, but when it turned out that the the Secretary of Economical Affairs (then responsible for media management) was bribed by BR&T officials to block BBN, the government decided to accept BBN instead.
