Apart from all of the latest industry news, B&T delivers deep insights, expert opinions and hard-hitting analysis right to your inbox Monday to Friday.

While other inferior trade publications rely on cheap tricks and creating a platform for gutless anonymous takedowns, B&T firmly believes in celebrating positive change and championing the individuals and organisations making a difference, uplifting the industry.

History

Founded in 1950, B&T started life as a print magazine. Decades have passed and the delivery has changed, but B&T’s commitment to excellence remains.

The name B&T stands for Broadcast & Television. Nowadays B&T delivers news content for the full media landscape.

Awards
