By Randy J. Stine The Harris Broadcast Communications Division soon will have a new owner. Barring some unforeseen complication, the transfer to The Gores Group LLC will be finalized early this year. The announcement settles uncertainty over Harris Broadcast s immediate future. Now the focus moves to questions about how the owner will operate the long-time manufacturer of radio and TV transmitters, STL equipment, consoles and other systems. Radio World is the best radio magazine in the industry, and our ad got us results quick! The people who manage and operate U.S. radio stations, networks and new media organizations face a bewildering world of available platforms and tools: licensed transmission, online streaming, mobile apps, multicasting, translators, podcasts, RDS, metadata and much more.

This new information economy can be scary or it can be exciting; Radio World helps our readers the engineers, operations managers and top executives of the U.S. radio industry understand this world and thrive in it, so they can employ not only FM and AM transmitters but also the many new digital and consumer electronics-based tools available to them. I watched you from the beginning when you started on this publication, and today it is the premier magazine for radio news all over the world. In every broadcast organization office that I have visited all over the world, there it was: Radio World sitting on top of the desk.

The News Source for Radio Managers and Engineers $2.50 radioworld.com Experts Talk Codecs See Kevin Campbell WorldCast Systems Kirk Harnack Telos Systems Tom Hartnett Comrex Harris Broadcast Has Its New Owner The Gores Group set to take over equipment maker early this year 2013 Source Book Directory & Harris Corp. met its self-imposed year-end deadline of selling the division in early December. It reached an agreement to sell the division for a package worth up to $225 million. Gores is a private equity firm that has a variety of holdings including a partial stake in syndication giant Dial Global. Its founder has been described as a fixerupper and once said he has a formula to save companies (see sidebar). Division President Harris Morris wrote to employees: Being owned by The Gores Group as a privately-held company will enable Harris Broadcast to capitalize on our market-leading position, continue to pursue growth opportunities, and aggressively respond to continually evolving market trends and customer needs. The sale price includes $160 million in cash at closing, which is expected to take place early in Some broadcast observers questioned the price, calling it low in light of past Harris purchases to bulk up. For example, Harris spent $340 million to acquire Encoda Systems in 2004 and $450 million to acquire Leitch Technologies in In a note to clients, Devoncroft, a market research firm, compared the cash portion of the deal to a price of $200 million or more that Harris Corp. CEO William Brown had telegraphed to the market. As recently as October, officials had put a net book value of $287 million on the company s broadcast communications business, which Brown said at the time gives an indication of the value we expect to receive from the sale, according to Devoncroft. The analyst speculated about whether Gores Group might use Harris Broadcast as a platform for further expansion into the broadcast industry or break up the division and sell it off. Great products and a Great team The Gores Group didn t comment publically on the purchase other than a press release statement from Ryan Wald, Tieline s STL IP Codec Available Now Call: John Lackness page 14 Keyur Parikh Harris Intraplex Serving Radio for 37 Years (continued on page 6) newsletters have become a favorite source in the industry for daily breaking news as well as deep archival material.

Happy 10th Anniversary to RWEE project profile by Cris alexander With this article, we begin the account the saga, really of the relocation of the KBRT(AM) transmitter site from Santa Catalina Island to a guy wire on am s options The masked engineer is at it again. Page 21 new locale on the mainland. What makes it both a saga and, we hope, of interest to broadcast engineers and professionals are that the process took 5-1/2 years and required the services of environmental, architectural, cultural, political and engineering consultants, in addition to the personal involvement of many within our company. This was no handoff to an outsourced project manager. It was, instead, a way of life for me and several others in our company. Today we ll deal with the challenges and obstacles we faced before the first spade of dirt was turned. We ll conclude with the actual construction in Part 2, which will be published in August. Since late 1979, Crawford Broadcasting Company has owned and operated KBRT in Southern California. The station airs on 740 khz and is licensed to Avalon, the tiny one-square-mile harbor town on Santa Catalina Island, Twentysix miles across the sea Since 1952, it has transmitted from a site in the island s interior. The seawater path to the mainland coast gave KBRT s 10 kw signal the unique advantage of a very low attenuation path to all of Southern California, from Santa Barbara to San Diego, something no other station could claim. When the long-term transmitter site lease was negotiated, 2013 must have seemed like forever in the future. In 2005 and 2006, with the expiration date looming, I began trying to negotiate a new lease for the station, but I didn t get very far.
