Division 60: Programming and broadcasting activities
Division 60 is about running channels rather than making shows: assembling a schedule of content and transmitting it to an audience. Television broadcasters, including streaming-first channel operators, register under 60200, while radio stations, from national networks to community and internet radio, use 60100. The crucial boundary is with division 59: a company producing programmes for someone else's channel belongs in 59113, whereas the company operating the channel itself belongs here. That keeps division 60 compact, dominated by broadcasters, channel businesses and station operators rather than the wider production ecosystem.
Broadcasters buy infrastructure and rights, so the prospecting profile is 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 court stations for airtime deals, while recruiters place presenters, engineers and schedulers. Community and internet radio operators, often newly incorporated with minimal budgets, respond best to affordable licensing, hosting and insurance offers. A new company here usually means a launch in progress, when suppliers who arrive early can define the whole technology stack.

About SIC 60200
How many UK companies use SIC code 60200?
3,915 active UK companies include 60200 (Television programming and broadcasting activities) among their up-to-four registered SIC codes, of which 2,556 list it first. Figures are from the July 2026 Companies House register snapshot, counting active companies only.
Does a podcast or internet radio business belong under 60100?
60100 covers radio broadcasting including stations transmitted over the internet, so an operator running a scheduled station fits there. A company that only produces podcast episodes, without operating a channel, is often 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 straddles the line.
Should a TV business use 60200 or 59113?
Use 60200 if you operate and transmit a channel or curated schedule, whether by broadcast, cable or streaming. Use 59113 if you make television programmes that others broadcast. Companies doing both, producing shows and running a channel, commonly register the two codes together, which is fine under the four-code limit and needs no approval.
