Note from the editor

This year's Broadcast Engineering Excellence awards totaled 50 entries, which exceeded last year's total of 42. In addition, the contest pages posted on our Web site generated more than 23,000 page views!

The winning entries were selected based on the votes received from our readers on the Web site. Twenty lucky voters were selected at random to receive a Broadcast Engineering T-shirt. T-shirts will be mailed by April 1.

Congratulations to all of the entrants in this year's contest. You represent the highest quality in television, production and network technology. To see firsthand the equipment and solutions used by these leading facilities, visit the NAB booths of the vendors described in the stories. For directions to each vendor's booth, see our map, which begins on page 145.
