Tech One on One with Stainless's Don Doty
'GET IN LINE EARLY' FOR DTV TOWER WORK
TVNEWSDAY, Aug. 16, 9:00 AM ET

If broadcasters delay in scheduling tower and antenna work, says the president of a leading tower company, they may be not have the digital signal and coverage they want when in comes time to pull the analog plug in February 2009.

As president of Stainless LLC, Don Doty has an unusual—one might say a high-level—perspective on the DTV transition now causing mounting anxiety within the broadcasting industry.

Stainless is one of the few tall-tower erection companies that can send crews up the broadcast towers to perform the structural and antenna work needed to get TV stations ready for the final switch from analog to digital broadcasting by Feb. 18, 2009.

In this interview with TVNEWSDAY, Doty says that if broadcasters act fast, Stainless and the other tower companies could probably meet all their needs over the next 18 months.
