The AIBs

The AIB International Media Excellence Awards - the AIBs - were created in 2005 by the Association for International Broadcasting.

The AIBs recognise excellence in the international broadcasting industry with a focus on journalism and factual productions across TV, radio and digital platforms. The AIBs attract entries from broadcasters all over the world. In 2023, over 400 hours of content were entered into the AIBs by broadcasters and production companies in 23 countries and in multiple languages across 19 categories.

In addition to programming, the AIBs regularly include award categories the reward organisations, such as Channel of the Year and News Agency of the Year.

The AIBs are presented each November at a ceremony in London. In 2023, the AIBs will take place at Church House, Westminster on 10 November.

Hosts of the AIBs over its 19 years include Mishal Husain, Francine Lacqua, Hala Gorani, Annabel Croft, Matthew Amroliwala and Rana Rahimpour.
