Work With Us
Building the industry to meet the talent.
Building Professionals in Sports Broadcasting (BPSB) builds the pathways, partnerships and accountability that a genuinely representative sports media industry depends on. We serve Black, Global Majority and underserved communities, and we are not a diversity initiative. We are workforce infrastructure: a trusted, vetted community of talent the industry struggles to reach, the data that proves why it matters, and the programmes that turn potential into careers.
Roughly 43% of Premier League players are Black. Just 3% of off-screen TV roles, and 2.6% of senior roles, are held by Black professionals. Sports broadcasting still has no dedicated line in national diversity monitoring. That is the gap we exist to close, and it is not one we can close alone.
Whoever you are, there is a way to build this with us.
Building Our Founding Board
Who We Are
BPSB is a workforce infrastructure organisation. We build the pathways into sports broadcasting, live production and branded content for Black, Global Majority and underserved talent, and we are now building our founding board.
A Founding Board
This is a founding board. You will help set the standards, not inherit them: shaping our governance, holding us accountable, and building the partnerships and income that let us scale.
The Gap We Exist to Close
43% of Premier League players are Black. 2.7% of the TV workforce behind the camera is Black.
Expertise We Are Looking For
We want a board that brings a mix of the following:
- Finance
- Governance and legal
- Policy and public affairs
- Income and partnerships
- Data and impact
- Industry insight
You do not need to have sat on a board before. We care more about what you can build with us than the titles you already hold.

Partner with us
For broadcasters, production companies, brands, agencies and facilities.
Partnership with BPSB is a trade of value, not a favour. You gain direct access to a community of Black and underserved talent the rest of the industry struggles to reach, a share in a story your audiences and your people want you associated with, and a real answer to the pipeline problem behind your own hiring. In return, you help us place talent, run programmes, and hold the sector to account.
We work with partners on talent pipelines, live production placements, masterclasses, sponsored programme cohorts, and event access. If you have a talent gap, a diversity commitment you want to make real, or an event where our community belongs, start a conversation with us.

Make a one-off gift.
Every contribution goes directly into getting talent into rooms they have been shut out of. As a guide: £30 covers a delegate's local travel at an industry event, and £250 helps fund hands-on skills training for an emerging creative.
Give monthly.
A small regular gift lets us plan programmes with confidence rather than scraping together funds event by event.
Give your time or open a door

Experienced professionals can join our Ignite Mentoring Programme and guide emerging talent through the moves that turn a foot in the door into a career.

Advocate
Make a diversity data line for sports.
Back our call for "sports" to become a dedicated reporting line in national diversity data. Without it, the real barriers and the real progress for Black professionals in sports media stay invisible. You can raise that argument in the rooms we are not yet in. It costs nothing and it carries real weight.
Let's build it together
