Brexit 'threat to UK broadcasting jobs', trade body warns - BBC News
TV firms may have to move some operations abroad if there is no Brexit trade deal, the body for international broadcasters in the UK has warned.
It says thousands of jobs could potentially be at stake in the event of a "hard " Brexit, where the UK leaves the EU with no formal trade agreement.
The Commercial Broadcasters Association (COBA) speaks for media networks such as Eurosport, Disney and Discovery.
The government says it "will work to get the right deal for broadcasters".
Jobs and investment
The UK dominates Europe's broadcasting sector, due to the availability of skilled employees and English being the dominant language in the industry.
Thanks to the country of origin principle, hundreds of international media organisations based in the UK can broadcast to anywhere in the EU.
