In the Galactica Discovers Earth novelization, the company is called the United Broadcasting Corporation, and Dana Anderson is its West Coast News Director. Jamie Hamilton initially gets a job at UBC given her connection to Alfred Mortinson and the two "terrorists", having been offered a 3 year contract upon her success of getting an interview with Mortinson[1]; however, after Anderson believes her to be sympathetic to the terrorists, she quits[2] and joins Troy and Dillon in their adventures[3].
