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

March Meeting #1

1 World Community Radio Unleashed! Ricky Hubert, producer of 1World Community Radio, will join Cody Hmelar — Secretary of Society of Broadcast Engineers Chapter 15 and 1World co-founder — for a fast-moving inside look at how students are executing a truly international broadcast in real time. They’ll spotlight the technical architecture behind the production — from professional studios and remote workflows to cloud collaboration, redundancy planning, signal flow, and integrated streaming and terrestrial distribution — while drawing a clear line between classroom innovation and real-world industry standards. By the end, members will see 1World Community Radio not as a student project, but as a living demonstration of how emerging engineers are already shaping the future of global broadcasting.
