"May truth be spoken from region to region!"

—Morgana LaJean's motto for the network.

The Mobian Media Network, better known as the MMN, is a public service broadcaster that operates under a Royal Charter since 2124. It is the largest broadcasting corporation in Mobius, though has been contested for the title in recent years by the fast-rising PBC and, to a lesser extent, GTV. Its global headquarters are located in Agate City following the collapse of MMN Sugilite, though they were located in Grandview, Glending until very recently. As the MMN is publicly owned, it is funded by additional taxes which are decided by the Executive Board and approved by the Government of the United Regions of Gemton. The MMN expanded from just the United Regions by creating several affiliate companies, including MMN Sugilite (Confederate Republic and the Kingdom of Sugilite), MMN-UF (the United Federation), MMN Westside (Westside Island), MMN-SI (South Island), MMN Apotos (Apotos), MMN-SH (Sunset Hill) and MMN-WF (Woodlot Falls), among others.

History

Creation

The United Regions of Gemton government, shortly after gaining independance from the United Federation and electing Morgana LaJean as Prime Minister, sought to bring its country back into the spotlight, as the Confederate Republic of Sugilite was growing and the U.F. was becoming somewhat of a capital of Mobius. Firstly, in a bid for even more freedom, the government, with the permission of Her Majesty Queen Oliga III, revoked the Treaty of Protection, leaving Gemton branch of G.U.N that remained to return. The United Regions Army of Her Majesty the Queen was then formed to replace it. Following that, the government blocked all U.F. television broadcasts and created U.R. Television, which was owned directly by them. The company was a success, and Unaffiliated Mobian Television (UM-TV) followed, trying to contest URTV and get some of their profit, which was not entirely successful. Soon, the government wished to expand URTV, and merged it to create the Mobian Media Network; owned publicly to save the government money. The government created the MMN Board of Executives to direct the corporation as it operates under a Royal Charter.

MMN Sugilite

Main article: Mobian Media Network Sugilite.

MMN Sugilite was the largest of the MMN sub-companies, having to broadcast for the Confederate Republic and the Kingdom of Sugilite. Because of this, much of the money given to the company by the network was spent on transmitters and the headquarters, and very little was left for the actual channels and programmes themselves. Because of this, only one channel, named the MMN Sugilite Channel and located on channel 7, was created, and an astonishing total of only three programmes were made; Alvin and Lacey, MMN Sugilite News and Climbing the Family Tree. Sugilite Television easily took the lead with STV 1, STV 2, STV 3, STV 4 and STV Sports. Though many attempts were made to afford to create a second channel, MMN Sugilite II, the plan never came to fruition and, recently, the Mobian Media Network collapsed the Sugilite branch and moved the global headquarters to Agate City in the Confederate Republic. From then on, the MMN has been serving the United Regions, the Confederate Republic, and the New Kingdom.
