BE Wins Contract: 69 Transmitters for Clear Channel

Clear Channel Communications has placed an order for 69 Broadcast Electronics transmitters and exciters for delivery this year, the supplier said.
Steve Davis, the senior VP of engineering and capital management for the group, called it a “huge buy.” BE declined to state the value of the contract.
The purchase order includes “almost a dozen” each of the Broadcast Electronics AM-1A and AM-6A transmitters; 10 solid-state BE 1kW, 2 kW and 5 kW FM transmitters; 10 BE FXi-60 exciters; five HD Radio FMi BE transmitters; and 16 BE “T” series single-tube FM transmitters ranging in power from 10 kW to 60 kW.
