Broadcast is a monthly magazine for the United Kingdom television and radio industry, owned by Media Business Insight.
History[edit]
Broadcast was started in 1973 by Rod Allen, who went on to work at LWT, HTV and HarperCollinsInteractive. He was most recently head of the Department of Journalism at City University, London, until he retired in 2006.
Description[edit]
The magazine covers a wide range of news and issues affecting the professional broadcast market in the UK. It has regular monthly sections covering news, commissioning, facilities, analysis, opinion, interview, platforms, production and ratings. Broadcast also often has a special feature covering an issue relevant to the industry. It is owned by Media Business Insight, a publishing, events and information business that also includes Screen International.
Awards[edit]
Each January the magazine organises the annual Broadcast Awards, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, to recognise and reward excellence in and around the UK television programming industry.
