African Union of Broadcasting

The African Union of Broadcasting (非洲廣播聯盟), or AUB — known in French as the “Union Africaine de Radiodiffusion” — is a professional body of national radio and television organizations headquartered in Dakar, Senegal. Founded in 1962 as the Union of African National Television and Radio Organizations (URTNA) under the Organization of African Unity, the organization was renamed at its 2006 General Assembly in Abuja, Nigeria. AUB comprises 47 active members and works to develop the African broadcast industry by facilitating exchange of indigenous programming and negotiating preferential satellite tariffs. Chief Executive Officer Grégoire Ndjaka participated in China Media Group’s December 2025 Silk Road Television Community Summit in Yangjiang, delivering remarks via video. As a member of the World Broadcasting Unions, AUB serves as a platform where state-controlled African broadcasters engage with international media organizations, including Chinese state media entities advancing Belt and Road Initiative partnerships.
