ABS � CBN Corporation ( ) is a Philippine-based media conglomerate with interests primarily in television, radio broadcasting and motion picture production. The conglomerate was the merger of ABS (Alto Broadcasting System) which at that time owned by James Lindenberg and Antonio Quirino and the Lopez owned CBN (Chronicle Broadcasting Network). It is the Philippines' largest media and entertainment conglomerate. It was founded on June 13, 1946 as Bolinao Electronics Corporation (BEC) by James Lindenberg and it was incorporated as ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation in February 1, 1967. The corporate name was changed to ABS � CBN Corporation, after dropping the broadcasting name in August 18, 2010. It is now a publicly traded company in the Philippine Stock Exchange. In 1953 it became the second commercial television broadcaster in Asia, after the NHK of Japan, and the first in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

The network's main broadcast facilities, news headquarters, transmitter and satellite operations and studio complex are located at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Complex at Sgt. Esguerra Ave., Mother Ignacia St., Barangay Laging Handa, Diliman, Quezon City.

The company is best known for the products of its ABS-CBN Network's terrestrial VHF channel, ABS-CBN 2 Manila and ABS-CBN Regional Network Group. Today the company has expanded to what it seemed to be the largest media empire in the Philippines. ABS-CBN partly owns the communication companies, SkyCable and Bayan Telecommunications, the UHF television network, Studio 23 as well as the cable channels like ANC, Balls, Cinema One, Cge TV, DZMM TeleRadyo, Hero, Knowledge Channel, Lifestyle Network, Myx, Kapamilya Channel, Velvet and international networks like Myx North America and TFC. ABS-CBN also owns and operates the film studio, Star Cinema, the recording studio, Star Records, CGI and animation firm, Roadrunner Network, Inc., publishing firm, ABS-CBN Publishing, radio networks like DZMM and Tambayan 101.9 HD, websites like push.ph and cge.tv and the direct cable service ABS-CBN pay per view.
