"Fair and Balanced!"

- United News Channel's slogan

The United News Channel, commonly referred to as United News or UNC, is a fibre optic cable and satellite news channel owned by seven private individuals, while all are presumably billionaries, only one of them are known to the public, ex-Naval officer Julian El Mohammad El Amsha. As of July 2500, UNC reach over twenty three billion households over fourty six different planets including Earth, although on some colonies only local news was shown rather than the listed schedule shown on Earth and Reach.

The Channel was launched in 2350's on many Inner Colony worlds where they settled into a comfortable position amongst the other news channel giants. UNC expanded their holdings during the Second Wave of Colonisation that formed the Outer Colonies, by setting up small, cheap stations run by locals on recently colonised planets. However, during the Insurrection their offices were targeted by rebels and insurrectionists and many studio's were abandoned on especially rebellious worlds.

While the UNC denies it, many viewers and critics have accused the United News of having a pro-UNSC agenda as seen during the Doisac War, where the UNC war correspondent was known as Major UNSC and wore a specially made ROSKVA armour when he did his reporting.
