Viable relationships with the leading
African broadcasting organisations and corporations are already
in place. These include the Southern African Broadcasting
Association (SABA) and the Union of Radio and Television Organisations
of Africa (URTNA).
ABN will secure programme distribution and airtime sales contracts
with broadcasters in up to 37 African countries in collaboration
with SABA and URTNA.
ABN’s intended roll-out plans are as follows. Phase One
First, ABN will focus on developing regional programme distribution
and airtime sales hubs in Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Zambia

Federal State broadcasters in Eastern, Northern, and South-Western

territories within six months of full launch Phase Two
