TheBroadcasting Corporation of Niue (BCN), also known as theNiue Broadcasting Corporation, is a government-owned[1]broadcastingcorporation inNiue, which operatesTelevision Niue and Radio Sunshine, the country's onlytelevision andradio channels.

Following the2011 general election, a specificcabinet ministry for the corporation was set up. The current minister responsible for the BCN isJoan Viliamu.[4]
In 2020, a fire caused extensive damage to a significant portion of the TV and radio station's facilities. Since then, the organization has been operating from a partially burnt headquarters. After five years of functioning in temporary premises and under substandard studio conditions, the Australian Federal Government, with assistance from the ABC International Development team, commissioned the reconstruction of the BCN studios.
In September 2025, a team from New Zealand and Australia, led by Manaia Go, visited BCN in Niue to upgrade the facility. They installed new television and radio broadcast systems, incorporating the latest technology to enable BCN to transmit content through traditional methods as well as various online platforms.
The $2 million project funded by the government of Australia to rebuild the BCN studios destroyed in a fire in 2020 was officially opened this morning by Prime Minister Dalton Tagelagi. The host for the opening ceremony was Australia's High Commissioner to Niue Olivia Phongkam.
