The ABA is established under the Public Broadcasting Act of 1998 created by the North Alezian government to ensure the neutrality, transparency, and efficiency of the network. Under the PBA-1998, the ABA is coordinated by a joint cooperation under numerous ministries.

ABA is nationally headquartered in the ABASphere located in the Metropolitan City of Zafizamarrah, the capital of North Alezia, and the capital of the Alezian Union as a whole. ABASphere is praised for its bizzare design yet competitive architecture. ABASphere is the biggest building in the Metropolitan City by Land Area. ABA employed around 10,000 people of full-time, part-time, and contract workers where the work is divided of 5,500 in North Alezia; 2,500 in South Alezia; and 1,000 each in Mosin-Nagan and Pantabang Islands.
History
1933-1958 : Radio Zafizamarrah and Aleziaanse Territoriale Radio
Broadcasting in the Alezian Isles starts in 1933 when a successful experiment broadcasted through 250 meter waves created the Royal Colonial Radio of Zafizamarrah (shortened to Radio Zafizamarrah in 1942). The programme then expanded to Basna Kota in 1937 and Victoria of Bristol in 1938. The broadcast area would be expanded and what once was a one-day-per-week broadcast also expanded to broadcast every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.
Meanwhile, similiar experiments were also conducted in South Alezia with the introduction of the Aleziaanse Territoriale Radio (ATR) in Doorsbreekenstad in January 1939. Similiar expansions were made at Donnoveral in the same year just six months later and Handall in 1952.
Both services in British Alezia and Dutch Alezia were temporarily suspended as the second World War progresses and a potential Japanese invasion and occupation become more apparent. While the British service were restarted in 1946, the Dutch service wouldn't return until the Handall expansion in 1952.
1958-1988 : The start of AleziRadio and Radio-Televisie Doorsbreekenstad
One of the protocols of the Alezian Independence Protocols includes the issue of the future of North Alezian and South Alezian broadcasters. It was agreed in 1957 that the British and Dutch communication systems were to be handed over to the future North and South Alezian administrations. North and South Alezian radio launched separately, with AleziRadio in the north launching on 1st of March 1958, and RTD in the south launching on 5th of March 1958.
Even with the stark difference of ideologies between the at-the-time dictatorial North Alezia and democratic South Alezia, the two broadcaster often competed against each other for market share in the Alezian Isles. North Alezia in itself installed radio-jamming towers to block South Alezian content with development starting from 1959 all the way to the final tower's completion in 1967.
However, even with the cultural restrictions launched by the North Alezian government, AleziRadio proved to be a popular source of entertainment for North Alezians throughout the country. The success of "Hey, it's Susi!", "NewsReel", "Where To Go?", "The Great North Alezian Might", and the broadcaster's most famous programme: "The AleziRadio Festival of Songs". Most of these programmes were so successful that most of the old programmes continue even after reunification.
The success of AleziRadio prompts South Alezians to instead watch North Alezian content from the broadcaster. This created an issue for the South Alezian government over the potential spread of North Alezian propaganda, and programmed one of what would be considered as "South Alezia's Path to National Disaster": Overspending the Entertainment and Culture Budget and create better shows for the South Alezian audience.
