Overview

This presentation will review 44 tips to help all managers with broadcast engineering. Paul Tinkle, president of Thunderbolt Broadcasting World Headquarters presents. Paul became an engineer “wannabe” when his engineer became ill and he had to learn to do more than hold a flashlight. He’s NOT an engineer but understands engineering from the “manager’s point of view.” Paul knows the needs of engineers and works to help owners and general managers know what each needs to know to keep the radio station tower sites and plants operating smoothly. This session provides ideas that engineers can put to use at work the next day.
