What Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas does

Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) is a Philippine broadcast industry association founded in May 1977 that operates as the self-regulatory body of the country's radio and television sector. It administers a system of self-discipline among member stations to promote higher professional and ethical standards, enforced through the KBP Broadcast Code of 2007 and a Standards Authority that hears complaints and rules on violations. Its product set spans the KBP Announcers Accreditation Program (which requires on-air personnel at member stations to pass an online accreditation exam), the FM Broadcast Technical Standards document endorsed by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), the Broadcaster's Emergency Preparedness Infochart, and a public-facing complaint submission system. Core technology consists of web-based member and accreditation portals (kbp.org.ph, exam.kbp.org.ph) backed by downloadable standards documents. KBP's revenue model rests on membership dues from radio and TV stations and per-candidate accreditation fees for announcers, anchors, presenters, DJs, newscasters, reporters, and commentators. It operates as a member-driven non-profit with ~26 employees headquartered at the 6th Floor, LTA Building, Perea Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City, and works in close coordination with the NTC, whose representative sits on KBP's Technical Standards Committee.
