We are the Society of Broadcast Engineers:

The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) is the only organization devoted to the advancement of all levels and types of broadcast engineering

With more than 5,000 members and 114 local chapters, the SBE provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and sharing of information to help you keep pace with our rapidly changing industry. The SBE amplifies the voices of broadcast engineers by validating your skills with professional certification, by offering educational opportunities to maintain and expand those skills and by speaking out on technical regulatory issues that affect how you work. SBE 15 is the local New York City Chapter. We welcome broadcast engineers and anyone interested in the technologies of broadcast radio, television and associated fields.


The Society of Broadcast Engineers and the National Association of Broadcasters have put together self inspection guides for AM, FM and TV Stations

These are available to SBE and NAB Members Only

April Meeting:

Please join us for this month’s regular meeting on this Thursday, April 16 at 6pm as we welcome Rich Redmond, who along with John Danner have taken ownership of Broadcast Electronics.  
Many of you likely already know Rich from his years growing up in New York and working with Broadcasters starting as a contract engineer, then working for Northeast Broadcast Lab followed by Harris / Gates Air.  He has spent the last few years as COO of BE under its prior ownership and developed a forward looking product development strategy for the continued success for the company in supporting our media industry.
Rich will discuss his vision for the company, as well as provide insight into the new products he has being shown at NAB.   There is plenty of development on all platforms, including AM, FM, The Radio Experience Plus and AudioVault.
