RTS London is run by its Officers and committee - all active members  of London's television community 

The RTS is the only organisation in the UK which covers all aspects of Television 
so we can provide you with the awareness of the breadth of the visual media
and the opportunity to meet and discuss any aspect of the art or science of television.
 
London has such a large and varied set of Media communities-
 with the headquarters of major broadcasters – BBC ITV Ch4 Five BSKYB Disney, Discovery
and over 200 Indies plus the every dynamic and growing freelance community.
it also has the newgathering of ITN, BBC news, and Sky news and the offices of all the USA networks, many EBU members  and other broadcasters further afield. 
Non-broadcast television is also well represented with much work in what are now a well established new media and also the CCTV networks of TfL and the Met Police.
We have a lively group of legal and consultancy firms – Linklaters, Farrar, Goodman Derrick, pwc, Deliotte, Accenture KPMG, Enders Analysis, Future Source and many others.
 
Within our territory there are 24 Universities offering course in the television aspects of Media – and thus there are keen groups of students all trying to make sense of the world of television and the media in which many of us have grown up – RTS London  awards their creativity though Student Awards - but as our territory covers Luton in the North to Kingston in the South, with Westminster and Ravensbourne on a NW-SE axis and many more.
We in RTS London find the interaction between the young and older members of the world of television very important  -we can  all learn  from each other at the informal gatherings before and after events.
 
London has a large number of facilities houses – and of course the technological excellence of BBC R&D and the technical teams of ATOS, Red Bee, Arqiva NDS, Technicolor, DTG and BT.  
These are the people who are ensuring that creativity can hit the screen reliably now and in the future.
 
With this wide range of people we would encourage anyone interested in Television to Join the RTS
– and benefit from the regular information through Television magazine -
and may be to help RTS London organise more activities to explain the ever changing world of Television
in and around London to your Friends and Colleagues.
