About NABA-TC

"One of the most valuable resources for broadcasters is spectrum - and there are ever increasing pressures upon that resource. Through NABA, North American broadcasters are able to work together to ensure braodcasters' spectrum remains available and without interference."

Andrew G. Setos
President, Engineering
Fox Entertinament Group, Inc.

The NABA Technical Committee (NABA-TC) is comprised of the leading technical professionals in television and radio program production, post-production, and distribution from network broadcasters, equipment suppliers and service providers in North America. The NABA-TC provides the opportunity for dialogue, information sharing and development of common technical positions and best practices for the broadcasting business.

The NABA-TC works to ensure that North American broadcasting interests are represented in key international forums. A delegation representing NABA positions participates at working meetings of the International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunications Sector (ITU-R), the UN agency with legal authority over world radio spectrum allocation and recommendations. Currently preparatory work is underway in the ITU-R for the upcoming World Radio Conference (WRC-2007). Within the past year, NABA has presented over 30 contributions to the ITU-R, focused on ensuring that broadcaster spectrum and content is protected and well positioned as new products and business models emerge.

The NABA-TC Chair represents NABA in the World Broadcasting Union Technical Committee (WBU-TC), where positions, best practices and collaborative projects of importance to the world broadcasting community are undertaken.
