In 1985, Paleski joined WNYW New York, where he spent 16 years as an engineer who specialized in electronic newsgathering and DTV. He was involved in some of the earliest tests of the feasibility of digital microwave in midtown Manhattan.
He also worked for Fox News Service as its engineer-in-charge for coverage of the 1992 and 1996 political conventions. In 2000, Paleski joined the CBS Television Stations group as director of engineering at WFOR Miami.
Marc Musgrove, chief engineer of KYW-WPSG Philadelphia since 2004, has been promoted to the duo’s director of broadcast operations and engineering. Musgrove led the broadcast engineering design team for the construction of the stations’ all high-definition television facility. Musgrove was also responsible for engineering and logistics for the termination of analog TV transmission and the conversion to full time HDTV transmission for KYW-WPSG.
