Universal Stations Group

Universal Stations Group is an American-owned Filipino division of NBCUniversal that oversees television stations operated in the Philippines and the production company that produces English-language Filipino syndicated newscast Universal News. While billing itself as a parent of NBCUniversal, it is owned by a Filipino trust fund linked to the company. NBCUniversal does not directly own any broadcast outlet in the Philippines because of the restrictions imposed by the 1987 Constitution to media ownership, prohibiting any, including minority, ownership of broadcast and print media.
