About Us

The Arkansas Broadcasters Association exists to promote and protect a favorable economic and regulatory climate for broadcasting, and to educate members and the public about the opportunities available through the efforts of free, over-the-air broadcast operations. Most member services are funded by stations’ participation in the NCSA program, in which non-profit and governmental agencies partner with the ABA to extend the reach of on-air public education messages.
