History
1975-1978: Planning
In 1975, the Government of Saint Monkey, and critics alike saw the terrible programs on TV, with shows being called "boring and dull TV shows." This was said in an SMBS documentary in 2000; "Saint Monkey: How they got so bad at TV" by a former TV critic in the 1960s. In 1975, the bad TV was used in political campaigns, after the Communist Gate 1974 political crisis, the Communist Party of Saint Monkey cut close to all funding for TV, and had plans to publicise all TV stations, and only show propaganda.
When the Green Monkeys took power, after the second elections in 1974, by 1975, they had ideas to start a Government owned media company, to bring back good programming in Saint Monkey. Eventually, they were able to secure a plot of land in the Chimpangutan Broadcaster Area, and began building the Centre Building, now SMBS's HQ. The Government were asked about this, to which they said it was an investment for future TV companies. By 1977, the construction was completed, and although they planned to name the building SMBSMEDIA, they never did, as it would give away information about this new Broadcaster.
Only until 1978, did they get broadcasting rights, and they broadcasted their first show, 25th of December 1978, and officially founded SMBS.
1978 : Founding on Christmas
On 25th December 1978, SMBS broadcasted their first show at 8am (UTC-10) in Saint Monkey using satellite, named "In the Christmas". Over that day, special Christmas shows, with several celebrities such as Darius Chimpic and Abigail Tropchimp, were broadcasted, with an evening show called "The Travel", which reached an impressive 9 million viewers, with 23.9% of the population of Saint Monkey in 1978 (38million), watching the show.
1978-1992 : First Broadcasts and Growth of SMBS
During the first 3 months of SMBS, SMBS 1-5 channels were founded and began broadcasting 24/7, other than SMBS 4 & 5, broadcasting 24/6 and 24/5 respectively. SMBS began to grow as a broadcaster, and in 1979, they joined MEGIRBA, a broadcasting alliance between the broadcasters of the Monkey Empire, and countries close by, in the South Monkeyian Peninsula and Azkamen. SMBS also participated in the now-defunct MEGIRBA Song Contest, which ran between 1969-1992, and won and hosted 4 times, including the last contest in 1992, during the 2nd Teriiblean War. SMBS also gained recognition by international broadcasters, and introduced SMBS International, which begun broadcasting to 12 countries in 1980.
In 1984, due to a massive boom in popularity for sport in Saint Monkey, SMBS opened SMBS Sport, which showed live football games, MERS races, and other sporting events, including the Olympics. SMBS also opened a live news channel, which would become very useful in 1992, during the breakout of the 2nd Teriiblean War. However, in 1987, they reported a loss of over 78 HM ($117mi) and were nearly announced bankrupt, until the SICPA (Saint Monkey International Crime Prevention Agency), who found the stolen money hiding in a bank account worth over 300 Million Holy Monkeys ($450mi) in a foreign bank account, and returned the money to SMBS.
There were several new shows shown on SMBS during this period. Shows like The Travel: Future, Bang Bang, Horse Gun and Wonder of James got over 1 million views on a regular basis.
However, with the breakout of the 2nd Teriiblean War in 1992, broadcasting was heavily affected.
