Broadcasters

Consider the financial impact on your organization if:

• As an owner or operator of broadcasting and communications equipment, you face risk from damaged or lost equipment and the losses that can stem from that downtime.
• A fire destroys an antenna and interrupts your broadcast.
• An individual sues you for copyright infringement, alleging that your organization included her copyright-protected work in an advertising campaign.
• A news broadcast inadvertently includes personal information about someone, who then sues you for invasion of privacy.
