BCC was moved to the island of Taiwan, a former Japanese colony ruled from 1895 to 1945, in 1949 when the Kuomintang government was defeated in the Chinese Civil War.

In 2005, following the government's policy to remove political and military influences from the media,[6] BCC was privatized and sold to a holding company in the China Times Group at a price of NT$9.3 billion.

[12] Shortly after, Jaw was accused of attempting to build a media monopoly,[13] and the Executive Yuan withdrew its approval.

[14] The Fair Trade Commission fined Jaw's other media company, UFO Network, in December 2007 for not reporting the BCC acquisition.

[19] Today, it is a privately owned company under a Government contract, and it also has the most radio network services in Taiwan.
