Broadcast is a monthly magazine for the United Kingdom television and radio industry, owned by Media Business Insight.

History

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

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

Since 1996 the magazine has conferred the annual Broadcast Awards, in a ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, to recognise and reward excellence in and around the UK television programming industry. Additionally, each June since 2005, the magazine has held the annual Broadcast Digital Channel Awards specifically for the digital TV industry, recognising and rewarding innovation, creativity and commercial success.

In 2019 the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards were instituted to celebrate the exceptional teams behind the most outstanding broadcast productions of the year, and 2021 saw the inaugural Broadcast Sport Awards.
