Last month the National Association of Broadcasters recognized something that TV Tech readers have known for decades: Doug Lung, long-time columnist for this brand and a member of the team that helped build the Telemundo network, has achieved the kind of career excellence that is worthy of this year’s NAB Television Engineering Achievement Award.
When I arrived at TV Tech more than 20 years ago, Doug had already established himself as an expert on broadcast television, and in particular, RF technology through his monthly columns. As the fortunes of free over-the-air TV broadcasting have ebbed and waned over the years, Doug recently wrote in his 300th column that, despite all of this, “the good news is over-the-air TV broadcasting is still going strong.”
