The African Union of Broadcasting (AUB, French: Union africaine de radiodiffusion, Arabic: الاتحاد الأفريقي للبث, romanizedAlaitihad al'Afriqiu Lilbathi, Portuguese: União Africana de Radiodifusão) is a professional body composed of the national radio and television organizations of African states. The organization works to develop the African broadcast industry by encouraging the exchange of indigenous programming and obtaining preferential satellite tariffs for member organizations. It is a member of the World Broadcasting Unions.[1][2][3]

History

AUB was founded in 1962 as the Union of African National Television and Radio Organizations (French: Union des Radiodiffusions et Televisions Nationales d'Afrique, URTNA), an autonomous specialized agency working under the auspices of the OAU. The organization was renamed to African Union of Broadcasting at the 2006 URTNA General Assembly held in Abuja, Nigeria.[1][3]

Members

These are members who are independent nations within the AUB broadcasting region, and consist of at least one member per country.
