Originally centered around the main drawcard arenas of Solaris City, SBC eventually expanded its focus, first covering fighting at "off-circuit" venues on Solaris and other such Game Worlds, before moving onto broadcasting the fighting on the front lines. The company has steadily developed into its own news service, giving even the vaunted [[Donegal Broadcasting Company]] a run for its money. <ref name=HHS-120/> The Solaris Broadcasting Corporation also leases its state of the art and [[LosTech]] enhanced facilities as a production center for other non-Solarian broadcasting entities to edit and retransmit the daily 'Mech fights for their own networks, a service the company charges a premium for. <ref name=S7PB-24/>
