Non-compete, Contractor

A non-compete agreement for a contractor in broadcasting is a contract between a contractor and a broadcasting station that restricts the contractor from working for competing stations after termination. The agreement typically specifies a geographic radius and a time period during which the contractor cannot accept employment, act as a proprietor, shareholder, or independent contractor for any broadcasting station. It is designed to protect the station's confidential information, trade secrets, and promotional plans.

A non-compete clause for a contractor typically includes a prohibition on accepting employment in any capacity, acting as a proprietor, shareholder, or independent contractor for any broadcasting station within a specified radius from the station's city of license.

The clause often acknowledges that damages from violation are irreparable and intangible, allowing the station to seek injunctive relief.
