Broadcast engineering
open-in-new
<p>Broadcast engineering or radio engineering is the field of <a href="/facts/Electrical_engineering/YYXW1KLW">electrical engineering</a>, and now to some extent <a href="/facts/Computer_engineering/5x1TRKGo">computer engineering</a> and <a href="/facts/Information_technology/glMzunwe">information technology</a>, which deals with <a href="/facts/Radio/XFr909M2">radio</a> and <a href="/facts/Television/X4YG5nT1">television</a> <a href="/facts/Broadcasting/AV1f3dGy">broadcasting</a>. <a href="/facts/Audio_engineering/eRJkg89Q">Audio engineering</a> and <a href="/facts/RF_engineering/fpFFb036">RF engineering</a> are also essential parts of broadcast engineering, being their own <a href="/facts/Subset/SJGERmbA">subsets</a> of electrical engineering. </p><p>Broadcast engineering involves both the <a href="/facts/Television_studio/xgP1r4nX">studio</a> and <a href="/facts/Transmitter/nFYghtKv">transmitter</a> aspects (the entire <a href="/facts/Airchain/8zxbssTE">airchain</a>), as well as <a href="/facts/Remote_broadcast/qb9Q9htt">remote broadcasts</a>. Every <a href="/facts/Broadcast_network/6Podl0AB">station</a> has a broadcast <a href="/facts/Engineer/ph4TnHnG">engineer</a>, though one may now serve an entire station group in a city. In small <a href="/facts/Media_market/PtR9gTTw">media markets</a> the engineer may work on a <a href="/facts/Contract/SkqyGj6S">contract</a> basis for one or more stations as needed. </p>
