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.

World Radio Day 2013

February 13 marks World Radio Day, a celebration of the world’s oldest mass communication medium.

Radio remains the most widely-consumed media on the planet, with broadcasters reaching listeners on traditional FM and AM services, as well as via satellite, set top boxes, mobile phones and the Internet.

Radio is a trusted friend to many and a primary source of news and information. It’s engaging. It’s portable. It’s always available.

We’ve from Finland where every radio station joined together to offer a love poem to listeners, we’ve heard of events across India celebrating the medium.

As we mark World Radio Day 2013, AIB salutes its radio broadcaster members and all radio broadcasters around the world.

Entries pouring in for the 2010 AIBs

Posted on by

As you will have seen, we have extended the deadline for entries to be submitted to the 2010 AIBs, the international media excellence awards, until 1600GMT on 16th July due to numerous requests. Broadcasters, content producers, providers of technology and others are responding to the extra time granted with large numbers of entries arriving at AIB headquarters every day.

So far companies in 21 countries have entered – from Argentina to China and from Australia to the USA. From phonecalls made to the AIB, we also know that many more entries are on their way.

It is particularly pleasing to see new companies entering for the first time – companies like KI.KA (Der Kinderkanal von ARD und ZDF) in Germany, TV Antena 1 in Romania, Russian Travel Guide Co Ltd Russia, Conker Media Ltd UK, Press TV Iran and eTV South Africa.

It is still not too late to enter if you are a producer or broadcaster of international TV or radio programmes (whether using terrestrial broadcasting, satellite, online or mobile) or if you produce the technology to power broadcasts, or if you run marketing programs for broadcasts (see the categories page on the website for the full list of different awards).

But with only one more week to the deadline, you will have to hurry so if you still want to enter go to the entries page for full details
