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

Following Meetings:

March Meeting #3

At March’s meeting we will gain more knowledge in the advances of SFN’s (Single Frequency Networks) and FM Boosters.  Bert Goldman, the recipient of the 2026 NAB Radio Engineering Achievement Award, will be our presenter.  
Bert will discuss what an FM booster and an SFN are. There will be a review of the FCC rules on boosters. He will explore how to properly synchronize a booster, the tools Geo-Broadcast Solutions uses to design an SFN, and the hardware used in deploying a MaxxCasting system. He’ll look at some of the systems under construction and some that are currently on the air, and how MaxxCasting has improved listenership and ratings for stations using the technology.
