What does IFB stand for?

• A. Interruptible Fold Back
• B. Internal Feedback Bridge
• C. Intercom For Broadcast
• D. Integrated Front Board

Answer: (A)

In broadcasting, you rely on a dedicated earpiece feed that brings the on-air talent cues and program audio from the control room, and that feed can be interrupted to deliver a message. This is called Interruptible Foldback. The “foldback” part refers to sending audio back to the talent, and “interruptible” means the producer or director can break into that feed with a cue or instruction without stopping the main program audio. That combination is what makes IFB the standard term for this setup. Other options don’t match the established term used in live broadcasts.
