FACT-CHECK: TikTok Account Claiming to Be NBS TV Is Not Official
The fake TikTok account has been sharing videos with alarmist headlines and manipulated audio clips — none of which reflect the editorial standards or programming of NBS Television

A TikTok account falsely claiming to represent NBS TV is making rounds online, sharing misleading and unverified content under the guise of the station’s branding. The account uses NBS TV’s logos and mimics the station’s visual style to create the impression of authenticity.

However, this account is fake and misleading.

NBS Television has made no endorsement of, or association with, the said TikTok account. A quick verification of NBS TV’s official digital platforms including its verified TikTok, Twitter (X), Facebook, and YouTube accounts — confirms that this account is not listed among its official handles.

FACT-CHECK: TikTok Account Claiming to Be NBS TV Is Not Official News

The fake TikTok account has been sharing videos with alarmist headlines and manipulated audio clips — none of which reflect the editorial standards or programming of NBS Television.

NBS TV, a flagship brand of Next Media, maintains @nbstvug as its official TikTok account. It consistently publishes authentic content aligned with the station’s programming and public service values. Any variation from this should be treated with caution.

Given the evidence, it is clear that the TikTok account in question is impersonating NBS Television and spreading misinformation. Viewers are advised to report and block the account.

The claim that the account belongs to NBS Television is, therefore, FALSE.
