Imperial Community Broadcast Network

The Imperial Community Broadcasting Network(ICBN) is the primary national broadcaster of Gemurtrak for community based television and radio products. It is defined as an Imperial Industry Corporation, receiving majority of it's funding from the government. The Duty bearer of Culture & Tourism is the chief administrator of the network who leads the central board of directors and appoints representatives for the boards of the ICBN regional divisions. The network operates a multitude of and  based television and radio stations, each with a focus on certain topics and genres. ICBN stands as the largest community focused network in Gemurtrak, and has seen large success since it's inception.

The ICBN was founded in 1988 by the federal government led by Yadan Nezaka following the review and reassessment of the Imperial Entertainment Industries (IEI) following a slow decline and boycott of the IEI following the inclusion of new censorship laws introduced by the prior government. Yadan's government gave the IEI greater autonomy and divided the IEI's assets into new companies to focus on specific topics. The ICBN was formed from this subdivision as the Imperial Broadcasting Industry for Community Affairs before changing it's name in 1990 as the ICBN.

The ICBN acts as a community resource hub with regional offices in every state and major city providing equipment and studios for members of the community to produce, record, and release content for public viewing about any topic the community wishes to focus on. The station encourages beginner creators and local voices within smaller communities to present themselves. Highly acclaimed productions and works deserving of merit are commonly noticed and picked up by the more professional Imperial Media and Filmworks company, allowing greater opportunities for less financially advantageous peoples to garner deserved awareness.

Nezaka Media Reforms
Following the conclusion of the Emergency Union Government and the reintroduction of elections, Yadan Nezaka won the popular canidate vote, many citing his policy of media liberalization as the reason of his victory. During March of 1988, the MIP would successfully pass the Media regulation and reform act, which called for the end of extensive censorship laws and the restructuring and selling off of the Government's media industry. Around a quarter of the total assets of Imperial Entertainment Industries was privatized, and IEI was further broken into seperate subsidies, depending on the content to be produced. The Imperial Broadcasting Industry for Community Affairs was announced alongside these changes and begun public airing on May 12, 1988 with the premiering of Father's sons, a previously banned film local film for it's anti-authority themes.

Success and expansions
With the growth in popularity of the community films and documentaries being produced and shown on the ICBN television station, the later governments saw to increase spending to expand the amount of studios and maintain equipment standards. By 1995, every state had at least two ICBN studios with an ICBN or affiliate station in most major population centers. Additional channels were opened with focuses on major topics including food, travel, film, and documentries. The success of the broadcaster saw a growth of recognized local film makers with some, such as director Yaka Tegano, achieving nationwide acclaim and accolades.
