Alternative International Media (AIM), formerly known as Plangainer Broadcasting Group is a non-profit public broadcaster of Plangainer, originally starting as a radio broadcasting service in 1941 before expanding into television in 1966, currently providing multi-station television broadcasting and radio technologies including online and stream services. It is currently the largest broadcaster in Plangainer, serving all regions including the Autonomous Republic of Banau and operating with an international broadcasting channel, employing over 2,300 staff in total, most of whom operate within the AIM Television division. Its headquarters are located at the Media City Park in Orley.

The original broadcast station was founded on June 12th, 1941 which began broadcasting their first ever radio program, "Radio Rondy". In 1963, the program's name became AIM's official title after receiving approval from the Ministry of Communications & Information Technologies which later instated the Radio and Television Commission of Plangainer to manage licensing and the legal rights of media broadcasting stations in the country. The company has been under the control of several different private owners throughout its history, but always maintained ownership of both the radio and television stations. As part of a wider internal reorganization effort, in 1967 the two separate divisions were then merged into one single entity, making way for the creation of the current organization.

AIM is a full member of the International Broadcasting Alliance (IBA).
