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

November Meeting

Hopefully you have figured out by now that SBE Chapter 15 / NYC Member Steve Shultis takes security of his facilities, colleagues and chickens very seriously!

Please join us at New York Public Radio for a special physical security technology event bringing together SBE Chapter 15 and a select group of security vendors participating in the ISC – East Conference in NYC (International Security Conference)

Discover innovative security solutions, learn how emerging technologies can help protect broadcast facilities and personnel and connect directly with industry experts in an informal, interactive meeting.  This is a must-attend if you feel the security at your facility can be improved or if you need to protect high profile public facing staff.

This meeting will be held at NYPR Headquarters at 160 Varick Street in NYC.  You must register by 10:00am next Thursday morning to get through security and attend in person.

You can also attend virtually but you will have to provide your own pizza and beverage.
