Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company specializes in broadcast television and radio. While BEC World Public Company Limited was established in 1990 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1995, its operational origins trace back to its founding in 1967 as Bangkok Entertainment Co., Ltd., which is now a subsidiary. Founded by Vichai Maleenont, the company continues to be primarily owned by the Maleenont family. As a Thai media conglomerate, it is known as the operator of television Channel 3. The business underwent restructuring in the 2010s in response to losses due to industry landscape changes and has expanded to include content businesses such as the Global Content Licensing division, BEC Studio, and BEC Music.
