Broadcast & Me

“When I started in television, the arrival of Broadcast was the perfect opportunity to put your feet on the desk and catch up on the latest news and gossip. As I developed what is known as a “reputation” I even began to feature in it myself, the result being the collection of original Broadcast cartoons in my downstairs loo, depicting the many embarrassing things I’ve said and done during my career!”

Dawn Airey, Chairman and Chief Executive, Five

“Broadcast has helped to give the industry a sense of self, of scale and ambition. It’s acted as a lightning rod for debate and policy, giving us a common forum.”

Wayne Garvie, Managing Director of Content & Production, BBC Worldwide

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why take out a print subscription to Broadcast?

Broadcast delivers practical content to its readers, providing expert insight from industry insiders as well as in-depth analysis and commentary on the news and what it means for the future of the industry.

2. How much is a subscription?

The latest price offers can be found on our subscription order form. Any discount displayed is the saving off the cover price.  Please note that if subscribing from outside the UK and you choose to pay by credit card, your payment will be processed in UK £ Sterling at a recent rate of exchange – which may therefore be different to the £ Sterling published price. 

3. What's included in the subscription price?

The subscription price includes delivery to your office or home address (plus taxes where applicable). 

4. Why is it easier to pay by Direct Debit?

Direct debit is a continuous payment method available in the UK and eliminates the need for you to remember to renew your subscription each year.  You will be in complete control of your subscription and you have the option to pay quarterly or six-monthly as well as annually to help spread the cost of your subscription over the year.

5. How secure are my credit card details if I place my order online?

All the information you provide is encrypted (scrambled) using the industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology so that when you submit your order from the online form to our computer, nothing can be read as it travels down the secure line. Your details are then applied to our subscription system, which resides in a completely separate, unlinked area away from our internet pages.

6. Can I pay by invoice?

Yes, we can arrange for you to be sent an invoice. Please call 0844 848 8859 (UK) or +44 1858 438804 (international) and quote your Priority Code “B502”.

7. Can I order a subscription for delivery to an address outside the UK?

Yes. But as the magazine is dispatched from the UK, the subscription price is higher to cover the additional delivery costs. The latest overseas prices can be found on the subscription order form.

8. Can I pay in a currency other than £ sterling?

We accept cheque payments in most currencies. If paying by credit card, your payment will be processed in UK £ Sterling at a recent rate of exchange – which may therefore be different to the £ Sterling published price. Please contact our print subscription customer services for other payment queries.

9. Can I order more than one subscription?

Yes, but if ordering online, you must complete a separate order for each magazine subscription you require.  Alternatively please place your order via phone, email, fax or post.

Should you not receive your acknowledgement within 10 days, please contact our print subscription customer services.

12. When will my first issue arrive?

Your order acknowledgement will confirm details of the first issue you will be sent. This is normally within 14 days of placing your order.

13. What do you do with my personal information?

We use the personal information you provide such as your name, address, email address and credit card details to process your subscription order. We may also ask you about your profile and interest areas, and whether you are interested in receiving details of other services provided by Emap (the publisher of Broadcast) and/or those of third parties which may be of interest to you.

14. If I’m giving a gift subscription, do you send anything to the recipient?

Yes. If you place your order online you can choose if you’d like us to send an electronic gift card to your friend/colleague – this can be sent immediately or on a date of your choice. If you place your order over the phone, via fax, email or post, we will send you a card and envelope in your order acknowledgement letter so you can write a personal message and send it on to the recipient.
