Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Broadcast engineering and technology task force

Welcome to the Broadcast Engineering and Technology Taskforce of Wikipedia:WikiProject Television. This collaboration resource and group, devoted to television technologies and related broadcast engineering/operations, has been formed in order to improve the technical accuracy of Television related Wikipedia articles and coordinating information so that articles are not contradictory. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
