'''Programme Making and Special Events''' ('''PMSE''') is a term used, typically in Europe, to denote equipment that is used to support [[broadcasting]], [[Electronic news-gathering|news gathering]], [[theater|theatrical productions]] and special events, such as culture [[events]]{{dn|date=January 2018}}, [[concerts]], sport events, conferences and trade fairs. In [[North America]], the use of [[electromagnetic spectrum|spectrum]] to provide these services is usually called [[broadcast auxiliary service]] or BAS.

Typical examples include theatrical [[wireless]]-[[microphone]] use, wireless-camera newsgathering operations and fixed point-to-point [[microwave]] links. The most significant PMSE users are those who use wireless microphones, talkback systems and/or in-ear monitors.

These devices operate in various spectrum [[band (radio)|bands]]. Traditionally, most PMSE equipment uses spectrum that is interleaved with other existing services. This is possible due to their low [[radiation|radiated]] [[Effective radiated power|power]], thus making efficient use of the spectrum. Most used spectrum bands are the broadcasting bands ([[Band III]] and Bands [[Band IV|IV]]/[[Band V|V]]) and military spectrum between roughly 1 and 5 GHz.

Within broadcasting, these applications are commonly known as SAB/SAP applications.
