Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International

Television network in Lebanon

The Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International (المؤسسة اللبنانية للإرسال انترناسيونال), widely known as LBCI, is a private television station in Lebanon. LBCI was founded in 1992 by acquiring the assets, liabilities and logo of LBC, an entity founded in 1985 during the Lebanese Civil War by the Lebanese Forces militia. LBCI went global in 1996 when it launched its satellite channel LBC Al Fadha'iya Al Lubnaniya (الفضائية اللبنانية) covering Lebanon, the Arab world, Europe, America, Australia and Africa.

At the end of the year 2002, LBC SAT and the London based Al Hayat newspaper owned by Saudis, merged their news programs. LBC SAT daily news bulletin was called the "Al Hayat LBC SAT news bulletin". The cooperation ended in 2010.

According to the Media Ownership Monitor, an initiative by Reporters Without Borders and the Samir Kassir Foundation, the majority owner of the station is Pierre Daher and his family who owns 50.6% share. Other key shareholders include former Deputy Prime Minister Issam Fares and his son Najad owning 10% each, Maroun Jazzar with 4.4%, Investcom, which is owned by Prime Minister Najib Mikati's family, with 4% share and Salah Osseiran with also 4% share.

LBCI – a local channel for Lebanese viewers broadcasting a variety of programs of different genres. LB2 (formerly known as LBCI Drama) – a local channel dedicated to around the clock reruns of entertainment shows and series.

LBC Europe – an international version of LBCI targeted to Lebanese citizens in Europe. LBC America – the international version of LBCI is targeted at Lebanese citizens in America. In December 2019, LBCI announced that the LDC brand will be discontinued by the beginning of the year 2020 and that all programs will be broadcast via LBCI. The main reason behind the decision is that the LDC branding is no longer needed since the battle for the LBC brand and channels with Al Walid Bin Talal has been resolved and won by LBCI current owner, Pierre El Daher.
