These include, Linklaters, Farrar, Goodman Derrick, PWC, Deloitte, Accenture KPMG, Enders Analysis, Future Source and many others.</p> <p>Non-broadcast television is also well represented including the well established and growing field of  <strong>new media. </strong></p> <p><strong>London </strong>is the home of Britain's greatest concentration of facilities houses and these, along with the technological excellence of BBC R&D and the technical teams of ATOS, Red Bee, Arqiva NDS, Technicolor, DTG and BT, employ many of the people who ensure that creativity can reach the screens reliably now and in the future.</p> <p>Within our region there are twenty four Universities offering course for and about television and media. Students keen to make sense of television and the media are well represented at our events while <strong>RTS London</strong>  rewards their creativity though our regional Student Awards.  Interaction with younger members of the television community is very important  and there are opportunities for us all to to learn  from each other at the informal gatherings before and after our events.</p> <p><strong>With such a wide range of people already involved we invite anyone interested in Television to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/membership">Join the RTS  </a></strong><strong><strong>– As well as benefitting from all the up to date information and commentary in Television magazine, you'll also be able to help RTS London organise future activities to explain the ever changing world of Television</strong> <strong>to your friends and colleagues.</strong></strong></p></div> <div> </div> <p> </p> <p class="rtecenter">For more information about RTS London Contact our current chair  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141009023055/mailto:kristin@masons.name?subject=RTS%20London%20enquiry%20from%20website%20">Kristin Mason</a></p> </div> </div>  </div> </div></div>  <div class="region region-sidebar-first column sidebar"><div class="section"> <div id="block-taxinav-taxinav" class="block block-taxinav region-odd even region-count-1 count-4"> <h2 class="title"> </h2> <div class="content"> <ul><li class="0 first active"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/about-rts-london" class="active">About</a></li> <li class="1"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/awards-london">Awards</a></li> <li class="2"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/events-rts-london">Events</a></li> <li class="3"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/events-background">Events Background</a></li> <li class="4 last"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/previous-events-london">Previous Events</a></li> </ul> </div> </div>  </div></div>  </div></div>  <div id="footer"><div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-menu-menu-footer-block1" class="block block-menu region-odd even region-count-1 count-6"> <div class="content"> <ul class="menu"><li class="leaf first"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/terms-use" title="">Terms of Use</a></li> <li class="leaf"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/contact-details" title="">Contact Us</a></li> <li class="leaf"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/privacy-policy-0" title="">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li class="leaf"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/links-0" title="Links">Links</a></li> <li class="leaf last"><a href="/web/20141009023055/http://www.rts.org.uk/refund-policy" title="">Refund Policy</a></li> </ul> </div> </div>  <div id="block-follow-site" class="block block-follow region-even odd region-count-2 count-7"> <div class="content"> <div class="follow-links clear-block"><a class="follow-link follow-link-twitter follow-link-site" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141009023055/https://twitter.com/RTS_media" title="Follow Royal Television Society on Twitter">Twitter</a> <a class="follow-link follow-link-facebook follow-link-site" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141009023055/https://www.facebook.com/RoyalTelevisionSociety" title="Follow Royal Television Society on Facebook">Facebook</a> </div> </div> </div>  <div id="block-block-1" class="block block-block region-odd even region-count-3 count-8"> <div class="content"> <p>Registered charity 313728<br/> © Royal Television Society, 2013.
