We are SBE Chapter 103... Welcome to our website!
Chapter #103 of the Society of Broadcast Engineers represents almost every broadcast organization in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Like all SBE chapters, we are dedicated to promoting Broadcast Engineering as a profession.
The Society of Broadcast Engineers, formed in 1963 as the Institute of Broadcast Engineers, is a nonprofit organization serving the interests of broadcast engineers. We are the only society devoted to all levels of broadcast engineering. Our membership, which is international in scope, is made up of studio and transmitter operators and technicians, supervisors, announcer-technicians, chief engineers of large and small stations and of commercial and educational stations, engineering vice presidents, consultants, field service and sales engineers, broadcast engineers from recording studios, schools, CCTV and CATV systems, production houses, advertising agencies, and all other facilities that utilize broadcast engineers.
The area around Nashville is home to many world-famous radio and television stations, including WSM AM 650, home of the Grand Ole Opry and WLAC AM 1510, both clear-channel stations heard across North America. Nashville is also home to Country Music Television as well as numerous TV and radio production companies.
