Division 60 of the UK SIC 2007 list. It holds 2 codes, listed in full below with the number of active UK companies filed under each.
Division 60 is about running channels, not making shows. The work is building a schedule and transmitting it to an audience. Television broadcasters register under 60200, and that includes streaming-first channel operators. Radio stations use 60100, from national networks down to community and internet radio. The line with division 59 matters. A company that makes programmes for someone else's channel belongs in 59113. The company that operates the channel belongs here. That keeps division 60 small and clean, made up of broadcasters, channel businesses and station operators.
Broadcasters buy infrastructure and rights. So the sellers here are technical and legal. Playout and transmission providers, streaming platform vendors, media rights solicitors and audience measurement services all target these codes. Advertising sales houses and sponsorship agencies chase stations for airtime deals. Recruiters place presenters, engineers and schedulers. Community and internet radio operators are often new and short of money. They respond best to affordable licensing, hosting and insurance offers. A new company here usually means a launch is under way. Suppliers who arrive early can shape the whole technology stack.
Code 60100 covers radio broadcasting, including stations sent out over the internet. An operator running a scheduled station fits there. A company that only produces podcast episodes, and runs no channel, is usually better described by 59200, sound recording. The choice is yours. Companies House does not vet SIC codes, and you can hold both if the business sits on the line.
Use 60200 if you operate and transmit a channel or a curated schedule, by broadcast, cable or streaming. Use 59113 if you make television programmes that others broadcast. Companies doing both, making shows and running a channel, commonly register the two codes together. That is fine under the four-code limit and needs no approval.
