These companies are involved in the creation, transmission, and broadcasting of aural programming to subscribers through cable, satellite, or radio. Programs may come from external sources and may cover materials such as religion, sports, weather, or music.

Once your broadcast is on the airwaves, anything could happen. The question is, are you prepared for it? When your business is faced with a lawsuit, your business and personal assets are protected by paying for the defense and court costs.

• Your radio station's website gets hacked and your customers' personal information gets stolen and then leaked to the public.
• After a storm, your radio station gets flooded in which most of your equipment is destroyed.
