If you've created an independent television show, or even a podcast, and want to build a larger audience, you may want to enter into a broadcast agreement with an established broadcast company to distribute your creation more widely. At its heart, a broadcast agreement is a license to distribute your intellectual property. Under copyright laws, this is an exclusive right you possess as the creator, and anyone else who wants to distribute your property must enter into a license agreement with you. You can draft a broadcast contract fairly simply using plain language that will have just as much legal effect as a complex agreement created by an attorney. [1] X Research source
