< i don't know a lick about broadcaster's equipment but I am sure that most of their equipment would be compliant. they, certainly, would be out of business at the stroke of midnight if they had not replaced their equipment.> My sister was one of first female cameramen in U.S. back about 25 years ago. Still in same business. First CBS affiliate. Now FOX. She's the senior "man" in the studio these days and is the in-house expert on operating robots and troubleshooting. <I am sure that most of their equipment would be compliant> No. But they're working on it. Major TV markets are required by law to be able to broadcast digital by November 1999 in tandem with current analog. They can't afford to buy new equipment for both. They're trying to remediate existing equipment. Studio engineers (with no increase in staffing) are required to do both at same time ... Y2K remediation AND digital equipment installation ... in addition to regular jobs. Not easy. Cheryl P.S. There is a LOT of audio equipment in control room at TV station interacting with LOTS of other stuff.
