Hearst to Deploy TVUPack Across 29 Stations

Hearst Television signed an exclusive deal to deploy TVUPack bonded cellular solutions across its 29 stations.

Hearst’s market covers 22 states, one of the farthest-reaching station groups in the country. Some of its biggest stations include WCVB Boston, WMOR Tampa, Fla., and WESH Orlando, Fla.

According to TVU, Hearst tested several different vendors before deciding to go with TVU.

“Hearst Television stations are nationally recognized news leaders, and we actively seek out innovative new technologies such as TVUPack to help our stations extend that leadership,” Edward Martin Faubell, Hearst vice president of engineering, said in a statement. “TVUPack is a powerful, proven technology that will enable all Hearst stations to expand the way they broadcast news and deliver more compelling live video to viewers than ever before.”

TVU CEO Paul Shen said his company will work closely with Hearst to “continue to evolve with them in order to deliver more innovation and create new technologies to meet their needs.”
