TiBB Broadcasting Union

The TiBB Broadcasting Union (TBU; French: Union de radio-télévision TiBB, URT), is an alliance of public service media organisations from a plethora of countries across the globe with its headquarters located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. As of 2024, it is made up of 95 member organisations from 82 countries. It was established in 2019, and has its administrative headquarters in Pittsburgh. Every country that is a member of the TBU, is allowed to take part in the TiBB Music Festival. There are a few nations which have tried to join the TBU with some of them being accepted and some of them being declined. In addition to the full members of the organization, there are countries which were accepted as associate members; these members are allowed to broadcast TBU's competitions.
The TBU owns and operates the TiBBvision and TiBBradio telecommunications networks on which major television and radio broadcasts are distributed live to its members.
