Broadcast stations that need to prepare for the upcoming spectrum repack now have a study guide courtesy of Rohde & Schwarz, as the company has created the “Go 2 Repack” guide and has made it available for download.

Rohde & Schwarz has hired industry veterans Devin Wickham, Don Backus and Faizal Iqbal to help the company support new and existing customers through the FCC repack.

Raycom Media is preparing for the TV spectrum repack by signing an agreement with GatesAir to provide Maxiva transmitters and installation services to the broadcaster’s 65 TV stations across 44 markets that is affected by the repack.

The Atlanta-based Heartland Media will have a number of stations affected by the FCC TV spectrum repack and will rely on GatesAir to provide assistance for the transition.

Some restructuring at WOLE-DT, a Univision affiliate in Puerto Rico, included the installation of a new transmitter, for which the station went with Rohde & Schwarz’s THV9 VHF transmitter.

With Albanian public broadcaster RTSH converting its nationwide broadcast network to DVB-T2, Rohde & Schwarz has been tapped to deliver a turnkey system to help with the conversion.

The FCC repack has significantly impacted OTA Broadcasting, a six-year old broadcast station group started by computer entrepreneur Michael Dell.

Rohde & Schwarz continues to boost its FCC repack installation and service team, announcing the hiring of Matthew Roush as a broadcast support engineer.
