Broadcasting
Welcome to BIS's broadcasting sector page
BIS works with, and represents the interests of, the broadcasting industry in the UK. If you would like further information on any of the following areas, please select from the Content summary bar on the left-hand side of the screen.
Broadcasting Policy
We work closely with stakeholders to ensure that the UK has a fair and competitive market for broadcasting industries.
Broadcasting Technology
We have a close working relationship with the UK professional broadcasting equipment and consumer electronics industries.
We are responsible for companies covering all aspects of the broadcast chain (from capturing an image on camera to display in the home). We are also responsible for the broadcasting side of the consumer electronics sector - television sets, digital television adaptors (set-top boxes), digital radios, video recording technology, and so on.
Digital Television
The UK is currently the process of switching from analogue to digital television. Our broadcasters, manufacturers and retailers are working hard to ensure that the UK keeps pace with other leading countries, many of which are also switching to all digital broadcasting. This will give consumers more choice and a better quality viewing experience. We work with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and others to ensure that everyone can have a greater choice of affordable digital TV options.
