Day-to-day operating brief

What TV Buyer (Broadcast) work looks like in practice

A TV Media Buyer negotiates and books linear or addressable television inventory against an approved media plan. The work involves audience estimates, station and sales-house terms, dayparts, programme environments, creative clearance, copy deadlines, makegoods and post-campaign delivery. Terms should define client budgets, negotiation authority, booking evidence, conflicts, credit exposure, sensitive placement exclusions, schedule changes, spot verification, supplier relationships and the separation between buying decisions and independent measurement assurance.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Translate approved plans into station and airtime requirements.
  • Negotiate rates positions terms and added value.
  • Book cleared creative against correct schedules.
  • Monitor delivery changes pre-emptions and makegoods.
