Asahi Broadcasting Aomori Co., Ltd. (青森朝日放送株式会社, Aomori Asahi Hōsō Kabushiki-gaisha), also known as ABA, is a Japanese broadcast network affiliated with the ANN. It broadcasts to Aomori Prefecture from studio facilities located in Aomori City.

History

In the 1990s, the opening of new Heisei stations led to the growing impetus for the creation of a third commercial television station in Aomori Prefecture. The Asahi Shimbun invested in ABA's establishment and had its launching costs evaluated at approximately six billion yen.[1]
