The Société de télédiffusion aininienne (English: Aininian broadcast television board), commonly known as STA and as the Aininian Broadcasting Corporation, is the public broadcaster of Ainin. Founded in 1915 as the Société de radiodiffusion aininienne (English: Aininian broadcast radio board), it has provided news, education and entertainment programming to Ainin through different media for about a hundred years and is one of the oldest broadcasters in Esquarium.
It has a presence on longwave and shortwave radio, digital television, the Internet, print and smart devices. Prior to 2009, it also had a presence on analogue television, before the latter was banned in Ainin. It reaches over 120 million people yearly through its various media, and is known for producing news reporting, documentaries, educational programs and téléromans, amongst other types of programming.
It falls under the cabinet portfolio of the Minister of the French Language, whose department is responsible for the funding and oversight of STA and its assets.
