Radio magazine, a radio broadcasting trade publication, covers the technology side of radio broadcasting. It was first published in 1994 under the title BE Radio. It is, essentially, a spinoff of Broadcast Engineering magazine, which began publication in 1959. Prior to 1994, Broadcast Engineering (often known as "BE") covered radio, television, and cable broadcasting. In 1993, the leadership of BE, recognizing a growing divergence in the technical issues faced by radio and television broadcasting, chose to split the scope of the original magazine, resulting in the creation of BE Radio to cover only the radio broadcasting industry, and narrowing the scope of Broadcast Engineering to television and cable broadcasting only. As the readerships of the two magazines diverged, the "BE" initialism ceased to have relevance for BE Radio, and in 2001 the decision was made to drop the initials from the title, leading to the current (as of 2007) title of BE Radio. As of 2007 both magazines continued to be owned by the same publisher (although that publisher itself has changed hands several times). The publication's focus is to deliver in-depth technical expertise while observing high standards of editorial content. Radio magazine is targeted at radio broadcast engineers, technology managers and owners of radio stations, networks, and recording studios.
