Anikatian National Broadcasting System (ANBS) (Anikatian: 안니카탸 국립 방송 공사, Annikatya Guglib Bangsong Gongsa) is the national public broadcaster of Anikatia. It was founded in 1928, and operates radio, television and online services, and is one of the the largest Anikatian television networks.
History
Structure
ANBS is a public corporation funded by the Anikatian government and license fees, but managed independently. As part of the Constitution, the president of ANBS is chosen by the President of Anikatia, after being recommended by its board of directors. Political parties in Anikatia also have the right to name members of the ANBS board of directors.
Because of this system, which gives politicians effective control over choosing the president of ANBS, as well as its board of directors, this system has been heavily criticised both within and outside of Anikatia for allowing the government to restrict the freedom of the press. ANBS' international output such as ANBS World, as well as specialised services such as ANBS Radio 3 for the disabled, receive public funding from the Anikatian government.
