James Lindenberg (December 20, 1921 – April 28, 2009)[1] was an American-born Filipino engineer and businessman.
[2] On July 11, 1946, he began assembling transmitters and established Bolinao Electronics Corporation (BEC).
The Congress, however, denied him from getting such a license for the fear that he might use it as a vehicle for propaganda for his brother who was then running for a second term in the presidential elections of 1953.
Because of this, Antonio Quirino bought a 70% share in BEC,[4] which earned him indirect control of a television franchise.
[6][7] After co-founding ABS-CBN, Lindenberg founded the Radio Philippines Network on February 25, 1960.
