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.

Awards

edit

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.
