AIB is the global knowledge network for the international broadcasting industry - cross-
media, cross-border and cross-cultural. Founded in 1993, AIB has developed into a
unique centre of knowledge and information about media globally.
We have a constantly growing membership that takes advantage of the wide range of
services that AIB offers. These include regular market intelligence briefings that provide
Members with exclusive, high-value strategic analysis of developments across television,
radio, online and mobile media.
AIB works to represent members and, where necessary and appropriate, lobbies on their
behalf. We have worked on issues such as the jamming of English-language radio
broadcasts in China and pay-TV regulations in Vietnam. We work to raise awareness of
issues and lobby for change when this is needed by our members. With a wide range of
contacts in media regulatory authorities in many markets, AIB is well placed to negotiate
on behalf of its members.
AIB organises high-level conferences on multiple aspects of the media, from sports
broadcasting to digital switchover, advertising to media finance, digital platforms to
regulation.
AIB publishes the
Global Broadcasting Sourcebook
and the international media
magazine,
The Channel
. With its print publications and extensive database, the AIB’s
combined reach is well over 26,000 in broadcasting and related sectors worldwide. AIB
hosts the annual AIB Media Excellence Awards. These independent, non-commercial
awards celebrate excellence in broadcasting, and are judged by a global panel of industry
experts.
AIB is here to help its Members - and the wider media industry – in this fast-changing
industry.
