Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union

Established in 1964 as a non-profit, non-government, professional association to assist the development of broadcasting in the region, the ABU promotes the collective interests of television and radio broadcasters and encourages regional and international co-operation between broadcasters. 

The ABU, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2014, has more than 255 member broadcasters large and small spread across the region’s 63 countries, from Turkey in the west to Samoa in the east, and from Russia in the north to New Zealand in the south. 

Confederations Cup daily radio bulletins for AIB members

AIB is offering its members access to daily 3′ bulletins from the Fifa Confederations Cup that opens in Brazil in June.

Produced by AIB partner Between the Posts Productions, Bulletin from Brazil will be available in two versions – one for audiences in Africa and the other for audiences across Asia and the Pacific.

With match reports, interviews with key players and more features, Bulletin from Brazil will deliver the flavour of the competition to English-language audiences across the world.

The programming is part of an expansion of AIB’s activities in the sport broadcasting genre that started with activities around the Olympic Games in London. AIB is now working on a number of initiatives on behalf of its members around the world that will deliver ever increasing value to them.
