Information
If you are new to the IBA and have just stumbled upon this thread, or have been redirected from another IBA thread, then you may have some questions about this threads purpose and what can be done here. This is a newswire thread for the members of the IBA to post news updates and national information directly from their IC media outlets. This can constitute a wide range of local, national and international news from comprising of political, cultural and miscellaneous events. Sports news can also be posted, but as we do also have a Sports Hub for sporting activities, generally these are to be wider cultural stories that stem from sporting events or sporting result/news round-up section as one would see in a newspaper, for OOC sports things, like applications/invitations to a sporting event, please redirect to the Sport thread as linked above.
The International Broadcasting Alliance is a multi-national broadcasting union set up for member nations to be able to have international communications with more ease, the following excerpt from the General thread states the IBA's background and intent:
A group of broadcasters from varying regions, representing a diverse range of peoples and cultures, have come together to create the International Broadcasting Alliance. Loosely based on the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), this union was born out of years and years of consistent interaction among these broadcasters, who frequently meet during the WorldVision Song Contest and World Hit Festival, both held several times a year. Led by representatives from AS1 Comunicaciones (AS1, Achaean Republic), Brityunik Vefecosoin Cairkovoin (BVC, Britonisea), Radiu-Televižio Kalosia (RTVK, Kalosia), Malta Comino Gozo Broadcasting Corporation (MCGBC, Malta Comino Gozo), Natanyan Television and Radio (NTVR, Natanya), Nekoni Television & Radio (NTR, Nekoni), and Tödlichebujoku Kidelavo (TÖBUK, Tödlichebujoku), the Alliance was officially established on January 1st, 2021.
The aim of this alliance is to act as a forum for different broadcasters to come together and collaborate on broadcasting matters (including, information exchange and potentially, the creation of original IBA programmes) as well as to be a resource to fulfill the technical needs of broadcasters.
