TVBS Media Inc. (Chinese: 聯利媒體股份有限公司), formerly Liann Yee Production Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 聯意製作股份有限公司; pinyin: Lián Yì Zhì Zuò Gǔ Fèn Yǒu Xiàn Gōng Sī; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Liân-ì Chè-chok Kó͘-hūn Iú-hān Kong-si) is a Taiwanese commercial television broadcasting company.
[2][3] The company's flagship channel, TVBS, began its broadcast through satellite DTH and local cable systems on 28 September 1993.
It was originally a part of the so-called "Gang of Five", which was a consortium that was set up to compete against Star TV across Asia.
[citation needed] As the first privately owned broadcaster, it broke the decades-long oligopoly of the three state-owned terrestrial television stations in the Taiwan market.
It was the first to introduce 4K cameras paired with movie-quality lenses to film and produce its dramas, programs, and news special reports.
