== Bayoux Broadcasting Service ==
Bayoux Broadcasting Service (BBS) is one of the largest media companies in Bayoux that is 45% privately owned, and 55% owned by the government. BBS is mostly directed towards younger viewers, however it does boast a few networks directed towards older viewers as well. All channels except the cultural channels have channels in English, French, and Spanish. 
Founded in 1980 by talk-show host Isiah Rousselle of BPTV, BBS originally functioned as a lone channel devoted to news and talk-shows, but quickly grew after the beginning of a popular sitcom known as Living Life Like Louise a show about a Cajun family living in New Orleans. The organization grew large, and in 2007, it surpassed BPTV as the largest media company in all of Bayoux. BBS is based in Hialeah, Florida, but it has major offices in Savannah and Baton Rouge.

== Bayoux Public Television ==
Bayoux Public Television (BPTV) is the second-largest and oldest media company in Bayoux that is entirely owned by the government. BPTV is generally aimed at older audiences, however it does boast a few networks directed towards younger viewers as well. All channels have alternate channels in English, French, and Spanish.
BPTV was originally known as Bayoux Public Broadcasting (BPC), and was founded in 1933 after calls for Bayoux to make its own nation radio public broadcaster were made. BPC changed to BPTV after the development and growth of wide-scale television, and added numerous channels to its arsenal. For many decades, BPTV was the dominant public broadcaster, but since the start of the new millennium, BPTV has faltered and slowed in growth due to corruption scandals, loss of viewers, and other issues. The 2009 financial crisis caused BPTV to nearly go bankrupt, but luckily, as of 2015, the company is back on its feet and is growing again.
