The 5in analog TVs, purchased by the NAB from St. Louis-based GPX, are being distributed among state police officials and other public safety organizations in Louisiana and Mississippi. Coordinating the distribution effort are the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters and the Mississippi Association of Broadcasters.
