The AAZB (Amrav-Aunaretunu Zaānu Baranxtutu - the National Broadcasting of Baranxtu), pronounced /Az.A.bA/, is the umbrella organization in charge of the public broadcasting agencies of Baranxtu. It dominates the Baranxtuan television market, operating more than 40 channels in 14 languages, including the six national public channels (one in each official language). Subsequently, it is seen as the most powerful media company in Baranxtu, being the main source of information and entertainment for about 84% of the Baranxtuan population.

In addition, plans to fuse the AAZB with the public television of Cikoutimi and Otea are underway. Should they come to fruition, the AAZB would cater an estimated 2.5 billion people.
