Orban Sets Dates for Mobile Tour

We told you in April about the Orban/CRL Mobile Broadcast Laboratory. Now the company has scheduled its first cross-country tour.
The 33-foot mobile vehicle has been converted to allow for testing and demonstrations of Orban and CRL products and comparisons with other products. It also has product displays.
“The reason that Orban/CRL launched this vehicle is that many stations and networks have faced budget reductions in recent years,” the company stated. “A decline in travel funding has caused a downturn in show attendance at most national broadcasting gatherings.”
Sixteen visits are planned to state broadcast conventions, SBE events, the NAB Radio Show and the AES show in New York City. The first stop is the Nebraska Broadcasters Association in Lincoln. Stops include Austin, Texas; Kansas City; St. Louis; Minneapolis; Milwaukee; Chicago; Cleveland; Wichita, Kan.; Sacramento, San Francisco, Fresno, Los Angeles and San Bernardino, Calif. Stops in Denver and Phoenix may be added. Info: e-mail to [email protected]
