Walterry Insurance Brokers is a full service insurance brokerage. Established in 1968, offices are located in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC.

In 1978, Walterry joined forces with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS to establish a broadcasters’ libel insurance policy specifically for public broadcasting. Currently, Walterry insures over 400 public television and radio stations under this policy.

Continuing its support for public broadcasting, Walterry designed and wrote one of the first true occurrence policies for Film and Television producers allowing public television stations to obtain policies for their productions distributed to others.

Walterry is recognized as one of the largest agencies writing Newspapers, Broadcasters, Film and TV Producers. Acting as a program manager for the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, Walterry underwrites and issues the Chubb media insurance policy, using state of the art computer systems.
