[SBE] defining broadcast engineer

[McGlothen, Darryl]

Our local Cable provider has opted to receive our digital transmission
(HD and SD) off-air rather than utilize the existing fiber (analog) from
the Studio. Why? A digital receiver was cheaper to buy and install than
another fiber transmit/receive pair. Will they transition over to the
fiber when the analog feed goes dark? Maybe...but content creation
without content distribution would be pointless, don't you think??

I realize that there is cable distribution. I also expect that the types
and number of alternate forms of delivery will increase, making the
facility more a content creator and less a content distributor.

The question was to show that other forms of media are involved beyond
the traditional broadcast definition. These other outlets are part of
the media mix.
