The Broadcasting Group represents all Society members working in radio and television broadcast within the UK and, where possible, abroad. We are pleased to administrate the Imison Radio Award. We also co-administrate the Tinniswood Radio Award with the Writers' Guild.
To be eligible for membership you need to have written and had broadcast at least two scripts for radio or television of at least twenty minutes’ duration.
The main purpose of the Broadcasting Group is to support members by providing day to day professional advice, by negotiating minimum terms agreements with organisations such as the BBC, by promoting legislation for the benefit of members, and to hold seminars and meetings on matters of concern to broadcasting writers.
A committee of ten elected members runs the Group and their term of office lasts for three years. Any Broadcasting Group member can apply for a position on the committee provided that they have the support of two members. The Chair is elected by the members of the committee.
