e are on the eve of the industrys biggest convention of the year, and truth be told, things look
rough: financial markets in confusion, a recession
chomping away at the economy and trade shows in general suffering a formidable slump.
Yet despite that reality, there remains a tangible sense
that this years NAB convention has the potential to slog
through the crisis and lead the industry into a future that
looks a bit leaner but no less strongassuming the show
can continue to boost core offerings of innovative technology, meaningful alliances, real-world engineering
expertise and anti-anachronistic innovations that will
support the industry as it weathers the lackluster economy and moves toward a sustainable future.
The industry has already proven its ability to do just
that, with innovations that range from HDTV, mobile
video, developments in stereoscopic technologies and
digital cinema.
For those looking for the silver living in that very large
and ominous rain cloud, its there.
Anyone who serves home entertainmentespecially
free-to-air broadcasters whose content is essentially free
to consumersis in a great position to stay in consumers
minds, said James McQuivey, a principal analyst with
Forrester Research. So there is really a case to be made
for a seize the recession day kind of thinking.
In a unique twist, the tough state of the economy
actually affords the industry the opportunity to pare
back its excesses and more clearly pinpoint those technologies and alliances that will move the industry forWEATHERING, PAGE 6

Beyond The Numbers

The staff can be contacted via e-mail using first

initial, last name @nbmedia.com
Editor-in-Chief:

ike most industries, broadcasting

is ruled by numbers. We live and
die by them almost every day.
Trade shows also depend heavily on
numbers. Often, we measure the success of trade shows by how many
attend. Exhibitors can measure their
success by how many visitors stopped
by, as well as how many deals were initiated or sealed during the show.
The advance buzz on the NAB
Show this year revolves around numbers as well, as in, how many stations
are sending fewer personnel. But numbers are only part of the story. For
many, a shows success cannot be
measured based on how many went;
its based on whether or not they found
the solution, what they learned in the

LETTERS

educational sessions, or snagged a

good deal (and this year the deals
could be more attractive than ever).
So why go to the NAB Show this
year? How about mobile TV? We are on
the cusp of launching a promising new
technology that could increase our
reach and our bottom line. We can
expect to learn more about ongoing
tests and potential alliances at the show.
DTV? Weve already watched the prequel on Feb. 17 when hundreds of stations shut down analog signals; the
main attraction will happen less than
two months after the show, so expect to
learn more about what worked and
what didnt and how to prepare.
And then theres the issue of change.
The industry is going through rapid

Dear Editor:

Thank you for the extensive coverage you have given

to white space issues.
In the past, wireless devices have operated using unused
TV frequencies and the broadcast auxiliary spectrum.
Usage of this spectrum is limited by the FCC to authorized
and licensed users with channel assignments managed by
the local frequency coordinator. Or at least thats the way
its supposed to work, but the reality is far different.
Although this wireless equipment requires FCC licensing to operate, dealers willingly sell equipment to users
ineligible for such licensing. Wireless mic users seldom
coordinate their usage except for large sporting and news
events and inside fixed locations like churches and
Broadway theaters. Instead, TV crews and musicians usually just fire up their receivers, and if they dont sense any
other users on the channel, they fire up their transmitter
(if they do any listening at all), indifferent to any interference they may be generating for other users or television
reception. The vast majority of these devices are unlicensed and the operators have little or no understanding
of the regulations, frequency coordination or RF interference. When you consider all of this chaotic behavior, its
amazing that this technology works at all. It only does so
because there is so much available spectrum that the
odds of interfering are reduced. But this is hardly effective
frequency re-use or spectrum management, concepts all
of us as engineers should embrace, and pales in spectrum
efficiency when compared to such services as cellular and
satellite with extensive frequency reuse.
As I understand it, new white space technology is
much more like cellular technology, with a base station
that the portable units communicate with to obtain permission to operate and obtain frequency allocation. The
base unit registers its operation with a centralized database and also uses this database to obtain authorized frequencies for operation. Geo-location is used to determine
position and known available channels as well as sensing
to ensure that the channels are indeed available.
This appears to be a truly elegant solution, using technol-

changes, some accelerated by the economic downturn, such as the increasing use of citizen journalists,
one-man-band ENG crews or the use
of alternative delivery systems. In good
times, we may have the luxury of taking a wait and see attitude, but now
many of these changes are being forced
on us due to economic pressures.
What better time to learn how to deal
with these changes than at the NAB
Show?

ogy to overcome the failures inherent in the current system.

Whereas the current system is dominated by users who
flaunt the registration and coordination requirements, the
proposed white space system automatically provides registration and coordination. Whereas the current system is rife
with users firing up their transmitters indiscriminately, the
proposed white space system requires sensing as a backup
to make sure the channels are truly clear. Its the equivalent
of cellular versus land mobile telephone technology. In
short, it implements technology to overcome the current
dependence on ineffective or ignored procedures, and
should create a much more reliable system with substantially greater frequency reuse and spectrum efficiency. You
would expect broadcasters to rejoice at the opportunity to
migrate to this technology! But first it actually has to work.
I dont pretend to be an expert on RF, but its abundantly
evident even to me after viewing a presentation given by
Bruce Franca from MSTV at a recent forum on white
spaces sponsored by NABas well as the detailed articles
in this magazine by Charlie Rhodesthat the FCC has
failed to do its homework and has instead allowed politics
and money to trump science. The testing procedures mandated by the FCC clearly dont meet real-world conditions
or provide adequate protection to broadcast TV signals and
existing users of this spectrum. We have the opportunity
here to create a much more robust system than the present-day implementation, to use technology to overcome
current registration, coordination and interference issues,
and to provide much greater capabilities and more efficient
spectrum utilization. Yet the FCC has failed to listen to the
concerns of broadcasters and technology experts, and is
instead proceeding ahead willy-nilly with a system that
jeopardizes television broadcasting and ENG operations
because they are infatuated with these new media players.
This is truly a shame, and we can only hope that the
incoming FCC chairman sees the grievous errors in this
process and reforms white space technology regulations so
that all broadcasters can willingly embrace this technology.

SMART ALLIANCES

At its most basic level, the industry is

hoping to do that with big-name
alliances and industry heavyweights,
which serve to remind us all of the
breadth of success the professional
video industry is able to wield. Running
from April 20-25 in Las Vegas, this years
convention will honor big names like
comedian Bob Newhart and sportscaster
Vin Scully. The duty of offering insights
will fall to the likes of analyst Gary
Arlen, whose keynote for the Broadcast
Engineering Conference will look at the
opportunities brought about by the
development of new technologies.
NAB is also introducing new workshops, exhibitions and sessions
designed to highlight the industrys
future focus. Last year the organization
ushered in a renewed spotlight on content with its Content Comes to Life
pitch, which was designed to stress that
the NAB convention is much larger than
its initial engineering roots would suggest. To this end, the NAB is bringing in
some nonbroadcast star power, from
movie directors like Coraline director
Henry Selick to author Malcolm
Gladwell whose book Outliers looks at
super-successful individuals.
The NABs key goal is to remind
attendees that the NAB considers itself
a purveyor of all content, from the
first steps of invention to the moment
its consumed by the end user. Our
overriding theme is to look at the
process from content creation through
to the end user, said NAB Executive
Vice President Dennis Wharton.
Reality will still intercede, however. If
history is any indication, fewer attendees are expected to take in the convention this year, with some estimates
expecting attendance to drop 5-10 percent off the 104,000 who walked
through the front doors in 2008.
What Im trying to figure out is how
critical this convention is to people like
[small station groups] during a massive
recession, McQuivey said. NAB attendees in particular have benefited from
the opportunity to network with and
learn from their peers, and attendance at
NAB sessions is unusually high when
compared to other conventions where
attendees often skip individual conference sessions, he said. But when the
economy is this bad and ad-spending
has been slashed this much, I worry that
as many as a third of these people will
decide they can skip this year.
NAB organizers plan to discuss the
economy during several sessions and
conferences, such as Reinvention in an
Age of Austerity and When the Going
Gets Tough in Broadcasting.
There is hope that the NAB convention will weather the downturn
better than other conventions, due to
the nature of its attendees and the pri-

mary reasons they trek to Las Vegas

each year: The opportunity to see and
test drive equipment in a venue that
isnt readily available the remainder of
the year, and oftentimes buy the years
inventory in a single swoop.
The show will also offer broadcasters
an update on the ongoing DTV transition, with updates on the status of converter boxes, consumer readiness efforts
and must-carry issues, and tackle DTV
in sessions like The DTV Transition:
Whats Up, Whats Next and Leaving
the Analog World Behind.
Broadcasters also have the benefit
of hindsight. Those stations that went
ahead with the transition on Feb. 17
have proven [the transition] was not
the calamity that some folks were
expecting. Its clear that [the delay was
due to] consumers not being ready,
not broadcasters, Wharton said. We
said last year that this would be the
last show before the DTV transition.
Well, this time we really mean it.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES

The convention will also offer attendees a much-anticipated update on the

status of mobile video initiative. Earlier
this year the Open Mobile Video
Coalition (OMVC) announced the initial
lineup of broadcasters expected to
launch mobile TV operations this year.
Broadcasters have declared their intention to launch mobile DTV across 65

stations in more than 25 markets, which

amounts to more than 35 percent of
U.S. television households, said Anne
Schelle, executive director of OMVC.
Broadcaster commitment continues
to drive confidence that the ATSC candidate standard is in the oven, and that
fully baked technologies to support
broadcasters are on the product roadmap of many major broadcast equipment providers, she said.
At NAB, the OMVC will demonstrate
the inner workings of the business-tobusiness mobile DTV network. In a
sense, the OMVC is re-imagining the
wireless experience for mobile TV users,
and that will create a broad new manufacturing opportunity that will be on
display for the first time, she said.
The OMVC plans to showcase
together all the pieces of the mobile
DTV chainfrom content and interactivity to encoding and metadata to multiplexing and emission. Las Vegas
stations will broadcast over-the-air with
real content offerings and demonstrate
business opportunities, she said.
EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES

The new 3D Pavilion will showcase

2D-to-3D conversion technologies,
display systems, editing and modeling
software, and cameras and eyewear.
Other new offerings this year include
a new Content Commerce Pavilion
that will link together content owners,

creators and distributors.

As broadcast divisions tighten
beltsfrom Heart-Argyle Television
who is cutting hundreds of jobs, to the
Washington Post Co. who saw its
fourth quarter 2008 revenues fall 7 percentthe conventions exhibit floor will
likely serve as a litmus test on how
technology can offer to help stations do
more with less. The NAB expects more
than 1,600 exhibitors on the show floor
this year, including 135 new exhibitors.
While we expect fewer attendees per
company, it does allows time for betterquality discussions and interaction with
our customers, said Ray Baldock, CTO
and vice president of marketing for
Grass Valley. Even though networks will
likely send fewer people this year, he
believes, they will still want to see whats
new from exhibitors in Las Vegas.
On the show floor, attendees can
expect companies to tout technologies
that promise to increase efficiency and
boost the bottom line, be they asset
management systems, automation
offerings or economical HD gear.
The NAB organization, of course,
says that its annual convention gives
attendees a unique edge: the B2B connectionscoupled with the fact that
the show cuts across so many different industriesgives attendees
opportunities not always found at
other consumer-based conventions,
Wharton said. I

No Other Event Offers as Much Opportunity

WASHINGTON
n anticipation of this years NAB Show,
we talked with David Rehr, president and
CEO of NAB, about the opportunities that
will be available for those attending the
annual confab next month.

TV TECHNOLOGY: Economic pressures being what they are, why should someone attend the NAB Show this year?
REHR: NAB is producing a first-rate convention. Despite the troubled economy, the
show remains the largest gathering of electronic media professionals in the world. Weve
populated our exhibit hall with over 1500
companies and our featured speakers include
some of the biggest names in the industry.
Indeed, no other event offers as much
opportunity for attendees to gain competitive
insight, network and expand their knowledge
on the trends, technology and content that
are shaping the industrys future.
In reality, it is precisely in times like
these that attending the NAB Show offers
the most value. It is an investment rather than
an expense, especially when you consider
that what attendees take away from the
show can ultimately improve their businesses bottom line by uncovering new revenue streams and money-saving strategies.
Attending is something positive and proactive people can do in the face of a challenging environment. Those who stay
plugged in stand to be that much further
ahead when the economy turns around.

TV Technology www.tvtechnology.com

I should also mention, with hotel rates

down about 50 percent and costs down on
all services in Las Vegas, its more affordable
than ever to attend the NAB Show.

TV TECHNOLOGY: Theres been a

lot of press about the pressure that broadcasters are under to reduce expenses and
send fewer people to the show. Do you anticipate a drop off in broadcast attendance?
REHR: Its too early to tell how the final
NAB Show attendance numbers will shake
out. Our show is somewhat inoculated from
economic downturns due to the size, scale
and international flavor of our event. For
example, the NAB Show is truly a global
media marketplacewith nearly 30,000
of our attendees coming from overseas. You
might not be aware of this, but broadcasters make up only about 20 percent of the
total attendee audience. NAB Show attendees run the gamut from the production/post
production communitywhich makes up
about 30 percent of our attendeesto a
significant satellite and Internet component,
and to cable TV and government video
employees.
Having said all that, were cognizant of
the world economic recession and the drop
in CES attendance earlier this year. So it
would not be a huge surprise if our attendance is down somewhat from last year.
All we can do is put on a great show, and
thats what we plan to do.
Were also pleased that the quality of the

attendee base
will again be
strong this year.
For example, all
of the affiliate
boards of directors from ABC,
CBS, Fox and
NBC will be
attending the
NAB Show, as David Rehr
will the entire Fox affiliate body. These are the
general managers from the most influential TV
stations in the U.S., and theyre the people
with the power to make business and buying
decisions on the show floor.

TV TECHNOLOGY: What are the

exhibitors telling you about their prospects
for the show?
REHR: As always, the NAB Show will be
a launch pad for new technology and content, just as it has for nearly a century. We
are welcoming over 100 first-time exhibitors
this year including Electronic Arts, Phillips 3D
Solutions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and
3ality Digital as well as major exhibitors
from years past including Avid.
Our exhibitors have always done a great
job at the show and we know this year will
be no exception. In addition to all the new
products, we expect you will see lots of
products that yield operating efficiencies
and lots of products that deliver more value
for a lower price point.

1x1 Solution for Pentagon

Litepanels soft-wrapping
light quality is ideal for
high-denition broadcast.

High-Def Friendly Lights

The Project: Lighting the Pentagons newly renovated

Defense Department Brieng Room.
The Challenge: Low 9 ceilings, central AC that cannot
compensate for heat generated by conventional xtures.
The Solution: Litepanels 1x1 5600K LED fixtures.
Measuring just 1x1 square, they generate practically
no heat and can be fastened close to the ceiling without
danger of fire or other damage. According to Litepanels
co-partner Kevin Baxter, The 40-plus Litepanels xtures
pull only 1600 watts and generate less heat than any
other lighting system - substantially saving on both
power and air conditioning costs.
Added Value: The timing of the renovation and re-lighting
of the briefing room coincided with the press corps
migration to high-definition cameras. The HD-friendly
nature of Litepanels was a perfect solution to providing
complementary light for todays higher-resolution,
aw-enhancing cameras.

Litepanels new-generation LED lighting is softer, attering,

comfortable and maneuverableand beautifully illuminates todays high-def images. Lighting designers will
appreciate getting complete control over lighting ratios
via LPs integrated dimmer system. Talent will love the
comfort of heat-free lighting. And because Litepanels
LED xtures use 95% less draw than tungsten, station
managers will love the valuable power savings.

New! New!

Litepanels 1x1 Litepanels 1x1

Bi-Color Bi-Focus

All in one:
Variable Color Temperature
Finally, ultimate color control right
at your ngertips. A soft, high output
light that lets you quickly dial up
any colorfrom cool white daylight
to warm white tungsten. The new Litepanels 1x1 Bi-Color
flood lets you adjust color temperature instantly so you
can adapt to different shooting conditions and skin tones
on the fly. Like all Litepanels 1x1 lights, the Bi-Color
has a full-range dimmer, remains cool to the touch, runs
on AC or an optional snap-on battery, and produces a
great, soft-wrapping light quality.

All in one:
Variable Spot & Flood

Move over Fresnel. Litepanels

introduces the worlds rst
electronic spot and flood
light. So game changing that
its patented, the revolutionary 1x1 Bi-Focus features
two complete groups of Litepanels proprietary daylight
LEDsone set of spot and one set of oodall in a single
1x1 square fixture. With a simple turn of a dial, you
crossfade between the two sets to achieve innitely variable
ood or spot output. All in a 3 pound, cool-to-the-touch,
super-thin, t-anywhere xture.

Litepanels in the
WhiteHouseBriengRoom

Lighting The HEAT

The Project: Miami

HEAT Sun Sports teams
broadcasters needed to
properly light sideline reporter Jason Jackson.
The Challenge: Most shots during a broadcast occur down on
the baseline, where light levels vary tremendously. Theres
little space for bulky lights or power sources.
The Solution: Litepanels 1x1 LED lighting xtures, which
generate a great deal of light, can operate from a battery pack,
and are easily dimmed without color change quickly proved
to be the perfect mobile, handheld answer. We can charge
the lightweight battery pack before the game & because
Litepanels draws so little power, the 1x1 runs all night, said Ted
Ballard, Executive Director of Television Broadcasting for the HEAT.
Added Value: The lights are so successful that they also
take Litepanels to all away games. Its portable enough
for our reporter to carry, and with little effort we have instant
illumination, adds Ballard.

As part of a nearly one-year renovation of the White

House Press Brieng Room, New Jersey-based system
integrator Shadowstone utilized more than 46 Litepanels
1x1 5600K light fixtures to replace the tungsten
Fresnel xtures that had previously lit the room.
Litepanels LED technology was the preferred choice
because it uses signicantly less electricity and generates
less heat. The choice of 5600K xtures also allows the
lighting to balance more closely to the color of the 45
LCD monitors installed near the podium.
Some of the Litepanels 1x1s are installed facing
back toward the press corps so that they are properly lit
when shown asking questions. Even with these extra
xtures, Litepanels LEDs generate almost no heat at all,
allowing the room to remain a comfortable temperature.

AUTOMATION & ASSET MANAGEMENT

by Steve Krant
nce upon a time, station
automation, asset management,
newsroom and business office
systems were separate and distinct
product categories. They (mostly)
played well with each other and rarely
ventured onto each others turf. Today,
with digital file-based workflows,
multi/central casting, and repurposing
for new media, product boundaries
have gotten pretty squishy.
The brave new media world comes
with many variables and unknowns.
And tough economic times tend to
thin the herd and focus both suppliers and their customers on value, reliability and viability. Taken together,

AP s ENPS 7.0 NRCS suite facilitates

the publishing of broadcast scripts
and associated media to the Web and
other digital formats. Mobile 2.0 offers
enhanced editing for remote users,
while the advanced video encoding
and streaming tools in SNAPfeed
3.1.8 will speed reporting and story
filing from the field.
Avid Technology s InterPlay real-time,

collaborative nonlinear content management and production environment

will be on display. Likewise,
Command, the on-air control component of iNews, as well as the FastBreak
and Titan broadcast automation solutions from Sundance Digital.
iCR software tools from AmberFin
manage complex file-based workflows
that digitize,
master and
trans-code

media for
AmberFin iCR, Version 4.5
cross-platform SD and HD delivery.
we can expect further consolidation
and strategic alliances among suppliers, along with a turn toward one
check to write solution providers.

Bitcentral will add Oasis Media

Marketplace to its integrated news
workflow offerings, which include
Precis, Oasis and AirNow! Marketplace
lets stations share media within their
groups and sell content to others using
existing bandwidth.

Crispin will shout out a range of

aggressively priced standalone products to streamline operations while
staying on-budget. BXFService
dynamically interfaces between traffic
and Crispin automation, processing
multi-channel playlists, dub & purge
lists, record schedules and as-run
reports. StudioControl uses heads-up
event and countdown displays for
operators in news or sports to manage
playlists
and
roll
breaks.
SupervisoryView helps Crispin
automation users monitor status in
complex multi-channel operations.
For the newsroom, NewsCatPro catalogs, indexes and archives stories
relating them to the original NRCS
textfor rapid retrieval and airing.
Version 3.0 of Dalet s DaletPlus enterprise asset management solution adds
support for HD end to end workflows,
integrated CG production in the Dalet
timeline, a new Dalet Dashboard for
system-wide monitoring and analysis,
native integration with SeaChange
servers and new ingest technology
based on cost-effective IT servers.

Digital Broadcast will demonstrate an

updated MediaFire, their integrated
playout solution combining video
server with automation, device control
and media management software. The
MediaVault archive operates standalone
or with Digital Broadcasts news and
automation. A Blu-ray edition yields
higher performance and data density.
NewsCommand adds device automation to their NewsBank NRCS, handling
switchers, audio, robotic cameras,and
other newscast production gear.

DNF Controls Affordable Universal

Automation Backup System (UABS)
offers peace-of-mind redundancy for
primary and secondary transmission
automation. It reads major suppliers
playlist and traffic files, supports manual and time-triggered events, and
produces as-run logs.

Front Porch Digital calls DIVAsolo

the first all-in-one path from legacy
videotape to
secure, highdensity disk or
data tape storage; based on
their
recent
acquisition of
Samma

age, access, and
protection into a scalable package.
DIVAdirector V4.0 is a standalone
MAM offering keyframe and thumbnail support, legacy database import
with metadata field mapping, and federated database functionality.
DIVArchive V6.2 supports zero downtime license and configuration modifications; its components run as
protected OS level services with automatic restart and advanced logging.
Version 5.3 software will be shown for
Ignite, Grass Valley s switcher-based
integrated production system. It offers
feature and function enhancements
for single-operator, multi-camera pro-

Florical will introduce RemoteAirBoss

and RemoteEditor options for their
S.M.A.R.T. Central automation suite.
The former monitors and controls onair playlists from any networked
automation workstation; the latter
makes current or future schedules
accessible for viewing and editing.
Also new, AssetDispatcher transfer
agent streamlines centralized ingest,
pushing content files to spoke sites
after approval; timing and metadata
may be entered once and shared by
all. InventoryBrowser allows
S.M.A.R.T. Central users to browse the
server database and view media files

How To Spend $3000 and Save $300,000 (And Get Peace of Mind)
You can easily protect your
on-air feed and be sure to be onair all the time with an Avenue
Protection Switch. Simply feed
your primary on-air feed and your
secondary, back-up signal into
the Avenue protection switch. If
the primary fails, the secondary
signal will take over.
For todays hybrid station,
a switch that handles all types of
video signals HD, SD, 310M
and ASI is a must.

Superior circuitry detects

black levels, TRS, closed caption
presence, audio presence, and
freeze for HD and SD video
signals. For ASI and SMPTE310M signals, PIDs and PMTs are
evaluated. You set the parameters
for when a switch occurs. You
might decide 10 seconds of signal
below 12 IRE or 14 seconds of no
embedded audio should cause a
switch to the secondary feed. Plus
you can set alarms to GPO or to
email you.

This is the smartest, most

reliable protection switch on the
market today. And relay bypass
makes it even more reliable.
So consider spending $3000 to
save $300,000. Using the Avenue
Protection Switch can save you
from unexpectedly going off-air
which can cost thousands.
Customers have told us that this
kind of insurance is well worth
the investment. Call us for a list
of happy customers and ask for
the 5-year warranty that comes

with all of our products. And

when you do call, you can be sure
youll get a live person on the

Cameras, servers, encoder/decoders,
DAs, audio products and a seemingly
endless number of devices for transitioning to and from fiber are now
available.
Fiber connectivity is now more
robust, more cost effective, and has
never been easier to install and
maintain. And as operations worldwide embrace fiber, this technology
is bounding forward.
As technological changes demand
cutting edge performance, cable
providers are meeting the challenge
with higher bandwidth, more rugged
construction and higher performance
products. The race between copper
and fiber is as tight as ever.

NOTE TO SELF: VIDEO OVER IP.

Competition fuels the news business. Its get or get out.
So give your team an unfair advantage: Streambox. Instead
of rolling ENG/SNG trucks, broadcasters can deploy a
scalable IP-based solution that provides more news faster
and at a lower cost. Go live-to-air, edit the story for later
broadcast, and feed video to websites and afliates.
Call us to schedule a demo.

Intro: Riedel MediorNet will be the first

step into an innovative new age of fiberbased real-time signal transport solutions
for multichannel HD video, audio and
data, establishing a complete new
approach to broadcast production infrastructure, integrating networks and technologies that were divided before; Acrobat
Digital Wireless Intercom system is an easy
to use license-free, full-duplex, wireless
communications intercom for broadcast,
security, industrial and theatre applications

as well as sports and cultural events.

Acrobat takes a completely new approach
to wireless communications, pushing it
beyond the limits of existing wireless intercom solutions, allowing the operation of
an unlimited number of wireless beltpacks
and features both partyline and point-topoint communications, digital audio quality and no interference with radio microphones or in-ear-monitoring; Artist 4000
Series Intercom Control Panels are
designed to meet the demands of all intercom markets, providing the full functionality of Riedels digital matrix intercom solutions at entry-price level. The eight-key
control panel is housed in a universal
enclosure, which allows both rackmount
and desktop operation. The panel is available in two versions either with marker
strips or an 8-digit, high-contrast, full
graphic LCD display, which shows the label
for each talk key. Connection to any Artist
or Performer 32 matrix is realized digitally
via CAT5 cabling. The panel is powered by
an internal power-supply.

Intro: TRP-100 Fully Robotic Studio

Pedestal is ideal for all studio applications
including news, sports, and current affairs.
Its advanced navigation, 220-pound payload and full manual override exemplify its
ability to extend the boundaries of traditional robotic camera control. The easy-tooperate TRP-100 also supports advanced
virtual studio tracking applications.
Controlled by the innovative Shotoku TR-T
Control System, the TRP-100 pedestal
allows full X, Y and height camera movement in conjunction with conventional
pan and tilt motion. The sophisticated navigation system is easily calibrated within
seconds using a simple target-tile placed
anywhere on the studio floor; TR-T Touch
Control System is the latest generation of
touch control system for Shotoku and
third party robotic cameras. Controlling up
to 16 cameras from a single operator position, the TR-T can deliver real operational
improvements and cost benefits. The latest panel style uses clear LED illuminated
keys to communicate system status and
control settings, with the same high precision joystick for ultra-smooth on-air control which has become the trademark of a
Shotoku system. The TR-T is compatible
with all Shotoku heads as well as third
party systems as part of the Phoenix control solution; TR-S High Capacity Flexible
Control Panel is a high capacity remote
control panel that expands to support up
to 16 camera channels making it ideal for
even the largest parliament, legislature or
TV studio systems. It uses the same
advanced features and intuitive interface
as the standard TR-8S but includes stateof-the-art panel keys, clear, bright LED illumination displays and a high contrast LCD
that indicates the current status of all cameras in the system. New setup facilities
enable key features and performance characteristics to be modified from the control
panel itself; Type-S panel integrates with all
Shotoku remote pan and tilt heads.
Established Products: A full range of
robotic and manual Pan/Tilt heads, robotic control systems, TI-12 robotic height
drive, and TI-11 i-height pedestal are available in addition to accessories including
pan bars, carry cases, dollies and spreaders.

Mobile DTV Poised for
Rising Revenue Wave

Somewhat Damaged

PRINCETON, N.J.

Flew too high and burnt the wing? Dont lose faith in everything
ore moons ago than I care to recall, a farm community banker told me to stay away from investments
growing faster than 5 percent annually, preferably over a
15-year-period. This is what it means to be conservative
where Im from. That, and the fact that we were recycling
long before there was a word for it.
Recycling came into vogue in the 90s. Fiscal conservatism did so only as a catchphrase rather than a reality.
The stock market indices are illustrative.
After 10 years of stagflation in the 70s caused by Dolly
Parton, Rod Stewart and Donna Summer sharing music
genres, the markets began to grow in the 1980s at a modest but steady rate. After the 70s, however, the economic
growth of the 80s was a radical departure, much like
disco being supplanted by a tiny African American man
from Minneapolis wearing platform shoes and womens
underwear.
Then came that pivotal moment during the 90s when
Prince put on a pair of pants. A high-profile contrarian
executing a traditionally rational behavior is always cause
for alarm. Its the cultural equivalent of everyone else
dropping their pants; or as Al The Hammer Greenspan
characterized it, irrational exuberance.
Around the mid-90s, the markets went bananas.
Overnight fortunes were de rigueur. If you werent flush
with stock options, you were clearly an idiot, or a journalist, which in hindsight
Then came the dot.com implosion, when people in
their 20s had to give back the Lamborghini keys and live

104

March 25, 2009

on Ramen like the rest of us in our 20s. It was a tragic

time, akin to the Great Depression, only without the widespread hunger, homelessness, tuberculosis and 25 percent
unemployment.
The dot.com economy was fiscal crack. Too many people had derams of instant wealth. I have a few friends
made rich by stock options. Those who are still rich
invested within their means. The rest are looking for
work, and theyre not hubris-driven, Type As who tossed
money into elevator portfolios. They trusted their money
to the guys who preached risk like anything else was for
little girls and lost kittens.
Half of what goes on in finance can be traced to the
playground; intimidating gestures replaced by intimidating terms that make regular folks feel too dumb to manage
their own money. Thats how you get part-time dog walkers into mortgages and unemployed students into $20,000
credit lines. And that, in turn, is how you get an economy
to collapse.
After the dust settles, everyone who didnt drink the
overextension Kool-Aid will still be standing. They will
form the foundation of a new economy in which risk is
balanced by actual conservatism, and personal spending
reflects autonomy rather than addiction.
I know of a certain farm community bank ready to start
financing the sustainable-growth era.

obile advertising revenues will hit

$3.1 billion in 2013, up from $160
million last year, according to research
from The Kelsey Group, a division of
BIA. Over the same five-year period,
Kelsey predicts revenues generated by
local search advertising will grow from
$20 million to $1.3 billion.
There is a strong correlation
between local search and the mobile use
case, which will cause a good portion of
the ongoing mobile application boom to
focus on local, said Kelseys Michael
Boland.

The numbers bode well for broadcasters on the cusp of launching mobile
DTV. In January, 63 TV stations in 22
markets revealed plans to launch mobile
DTV this year. The biggest question
about the new platform is how to make
money from it.
Skeptics note that cell phone companies have yet to make money from their
own mobile video services. Proponents
contend that the local content inherent
in broadcast television will lend itself to
ad-supported searches.
Geodelic, a start-up in Santa Monica,
Calif., makes a software application
geared toward local ad-supported
search. The technology was demonstrated at the recent Hollywood Post
Alliance Tech Retreat in Palm Springs,
Calif. A Geodelic-enabled handheld
uses global positioning to determine its
coordinates, then provides information
on nearby businesses. The businesses
are divided categorically, e.g., restaurants, gas stations, lodging, etc.; and are
displayed in a readable, 3D-like
carousel.
With regard to mobile searches,
Kelsey says those with local intent will
increase from 28 percent last year to 35
percent by 2013. It also noted that 25
percent of people using the Internet are
doing so from handheld devices.

$340 million in 2007. Par usual, the dip was
attributed to the ad-market collapse. It was
offset by $22.3 million in political and $6.3
million from the Olympics.
Otherwise, the slide would have been 13
percent, to $296.5 million for the year ending
Dec. 31. 2008.
Operating income for the year was $123.5
million, down 13 percent from $142.1 million in 07.
During 2008, the Post (NYSE: WPO) stations recorded a $6.9 million non-cash property gain from Sprint Nextel for BAS
relocation. The wireless carrier has charged

with retooling broadcast auxiliary service

equipment so it can move into spectrum traditionally used for TV station ENG operations.
For 4Q, the stations recorded $86.6 million in revenues, down 7 percent from $93.5
million in the year-previous period. Sans
$13.9 million in political, revenues would
have been $72.7 million, a 22 percent
decline. Operating income declines 10 percent, to $37.1 million from $41.5 million in
4Q07.
The combined WPO operations posted
2008 net income of $65.7 million on revenues of $4.5 billion, down 77 percent and
up 7 percent, respectively, from 2007. The
results included a $142.3 million impairment
charge on newspaper and online operations; a
$111.1 million early retirement charge; $22.3
million in accelerated depreciation on the
planned closing of the Posts College Park,
Md., plant and other restructuring expenses.

years with News Corp.
Chernin will launch a Fox-based production company later this year, while News
Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch will take up oversight of the Fox Group until a successor can be
found. The group includes the Fox broadcast
network, TV stations, MyNetworkTV, Star,
Foxtel and Fox Sports Australia.
The Australian mentioned several possible
successors, including former News Corp. executive Chase Carey, now the head of DirecTV,
which John Malone wrested from News Corp.
Another name was James Murdoch, the chiefs
36-year-old son.

he 10 E.W. Scripps TV stations generated revenues of $93.4 million, up more than 2 percent over 4Q07. Net income was $31.1 million,
up more than one percent over the comparable
period. For the full year, TV revenues were flat at
around $327 million. Net income fell 4 percent
to $80.6 million.
The Scripps operations ended 4Q08 with an
operating loss of $11.5 million on revenues of
$265 million. Net loss for the quarter was $12.6
million, exacerbated by a $42 million impairment charge.
For the full year, E.W. Scripps (NYSE: SSP)
posted a $632.3 million loss on $1 billion in revenues. Net loss for the year was $476.6 million.
The company on Feb. 19 reported it would
post a 4Q operating loss of $19.4 million on
likewise revenues, and write down $31 million.
In early March, it shut down its Colorado newspaper, the Rocky Mountain News, increasing
impairment. The quarterly revision was also
motivated by tax miscalculations related to last
years spin-off of Scripps Networks.

Barrington Broadcasting posted preliminary revenues of

more than $119 million for 2008, compared to $112.5
million in 2007. Cash flowadjusted earnings before
income tax, interest expenses, depreciation and amortizationwas $40.7 million for 2008 versus $35.7 million
in 07.
The increase was pinned on the uptick in political ad
revenue, which offset declines in national and local. For
the three months ending Dec. 31, 2008, Barrington
posted preliminary revenues of $32.5 million versus
$30.4 million for the year-earlier period. Cash flow is
projected to be $12.6 million versus $10.6 million the
year before.
The preliminary results dont include an expected $50
million write-down on intangibles. The $50 million is in
addition to an $18.5 million impairment the company took
during 3Q08.
Barrington owns and/or operates 23 TV stations in midsized markets.

Belo Corp. has declared a cash dividend of 75

cents a share payable June 5 to stockholders of record
as of May 15. Subsequent dividends will be suspended indefinitely, the company said.
In light of current economic conditions, suspending the dividend will allow Belos management team
to continue to focus on paying down debt and preserving cash while enhancing the companys financial
flexibility, said Dunia A. Shive, Belo (NYSE: BLC)
president and CEO.
Shive made a similar statement days earlier when
BLC managed to reduce its obligation on a bank
credit facility by $50 million. Belo is financially circling its wagons after posting a loss of $333 million
for 2008. Those results included $465 million in
write downs; $114 million of it for broadcast licenses.
Belo, a pure-play TV group, has 20 stations.
Despite Belos efforts to conserve cash and pay
down debt, Moodys has lowered the companys rating
for a second time this year, according to The Wall
Street Journal, this time to Ba3, a junk rating. Fitch
likewise cut its default rating on Belo further into
junk. Shares of the company slid below $1 Feb. 25
and have continued to fall, trading mid-day today at
around 50 cents.

Hearst-Argyle TV Writes Off

Local Ad Market Contraction Predicted
CHANTILLY, VA.

ocal ad revenues are poised to slide over the

next four years, BIA Services predicts. The
forecast for local spending in the United States is
that revenues will dip to $144.4 billion in 2013,
down from $155.3 billion at the end of 08.
Among media types, only interactive is
expected to grow. BIA projects more than 22 percent of local ad revenues will be spent on interactive platforms in 2013, compared to 9 percent last
year. (Interactive in this case comprises mobile,
Internet Yellow Pages, local search, online verticals and classifieds, voice search, e-mail marketing and other interactive revenues generated by

traditional media players.)

In terms of dollars, interactive is expected to
rake in more than $32 billion of the local ad pie
in 2013 compared to $14 billion last year.
All other local media platforms will experience marginal to rapid declines in the next 18 to
36 months, BIA said. A small number of traditional media will rebound with a revived economy beginning in 2011, though most traditional
media will continue to decline, albeit at a slower
pace.
Local ad spending on TV, radio, newspapers,
direct mail, print Yellow Pages and magazines will
decrease from $141.3 billion last year to $112.4
billion in 2013, BIA projects.

edia spending in the United States increased

last year by 2.3 percent, according to equity
researcher Veronis Suhler Stevenson. A decline of
0.4 percent is expected this year across the sector,
which includes advertising and marketing.
VSS issued the figures in a new mid-term forecast updating five-year projections it laid out last
year. A year-to-year decline in overall media
spending would represent a first in VSSs 30 years
of measurement, the company said.
Newspapers will take the hardest hit in 09, contracting by more than 16 percent. Spending on
broadcast TV is expected to slide by 9 percent, compared to less than half-a-percent last year. Magazines
will register a decline of nearly 9 percent; broadcast
and satellite radio will dip around 7 percent.
VSS said ad spending would drop more than 7
percent in 2009, the first two-year decline in 75
years as it also declined in 2008.
Internet and mobile media platforms continue
to grow, although more slowly than expected. VSS
now puts growth for that segment in 09 at 9 percent instead of the nearly 16 percent previously
predicted. Mobile content appears to hold the
greatest promise for 2009, at a projected 34 percent growth.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS

ales of digital-to-analog converter boxes

helped Radio Shack through a rough ride
last year, but the company still took a hit. Net
income for 2008 was down nearly 19 percent, to
$192.4 million, compared to 2007, when the
figure reached $236.8 million. Revenues for the
year fell less than a percent, from nearly $4.3
billion in 07 to more than $4.2 billion last year.
Radio Shack
(NYSE:
RSH)
attributed
the
decrease to lower
overall sales that
were partially offset by the strong performance of digital television converter boxes, as well as AT&T wireless
upgrades, video game accessories and laptops.
For 4Q08, ending Dec. 31, Shack reported
net income of $62 million, down 38 percent
from $101 million in 2007. Revenues were
down lessabout 8 percentfrom $1.36 billion
in 2007 to nearly $1.26 billion last year. Shack
ended the year with nearly $815 million in cash
and equivalents.

NEW YORK

earst-Argyle TV posted a 4Q $552 million loss

on revenues of $197 million after writing down
$940 million. For the full year ending Dec. 31,
2008, Hearst-Argyle TV (NYSE: HTV) posted revenues of $720.5 million, down nearly 5 percent from
2007. The after-impairment loss totaled nearly
$516.5 million for the year.
Our operating results for 2008 are a reflection of
the very challenging economic environment that grips
our domestic and global economies, HTV President
and CEO David Barrett said. Notwithstanding the
strong local competitive position enjoyed by most of
our stations, the severe downturn in ad spending, at
both the local and national level, from a broad cross
section of ad categories, resulted in a 4.7 percent
decline in net revenues for the full year of 2008.
There were a few beams of light in HTVs year. Six
of its stations posted record revenues. Overall political
revenues were a record $93 million for 2008. Retrans
generated $26.9 million, a 24 percent bump over 07.
The company had a $4.7 million gain associated with
the Sprint Nextel gear exchange; and got an $11.5 million Hurricane Katrina insurance payout.
There is a strong correlation between local
search and the mobile use case, which will cause
a good portion of the ongoing mobile application boom to focus on local.
Kelseys Michael Boland.

None of the gains were enough to offset declines in

the major ad categories, notably automotive, retail, telecom, movies, restaurant, health services and furniture.
HTV took a $5.7 million severance charge in 4Q
related to the elimination of 200 jobs. For the year, a
pre-tax $926 million charge was taken on assets, and
an additional $14.3 million in 4Q on investments
and other items, including the severance charge.
Barrett said the company will continue conserving
cash for debt reduction, including significant curtailment in capital spending and the suspension of
our dividend, Barrett said.
Hearst-Argyle Television owns and/or operates 29
television stations that reach about 21 million households, or about 18 percent of U.S. TV households.
