Company Name: WIXT TV
Address: www.wixt.com
Business Description: WIXT-TV, NewsChannel 9 , is
the hub for a seven-station regional network of news-driven
television stations serving Upstate New York. The combined
coverage areas of the stations extend from northern
Pennsylvania into southern Canada in a wide swath that
extends across most of the width of the state.
White Paper/Customer Quote: "Each of the stations
has a number of reporter / videographer teams who cover
news around the state, as well as microwave and satellite
remote trucks for live coverage of breaking news. With
personnel scattered over such a broad area, and with
the tough demands of live news gathering, it is essential
that each of our stations be able to contact crews quickly.
Alpha pagers turn out to be an excellent tool for us
because they can communicate information precisely without
making noise or creating a distracting interruption,
unlike cellular phones. And they can serve as an automatic
message pad for essential details -- satellite coordinates,
for example -- so that the field crews needn't take
notes while driving or conducting interviews."
"NotePage Net has become a significant asset in
our regional communications system. The software is
intuitive for the end user, and can perform powerful
functions easily. The ability to maintain a common base
of pagers -- even pagers served by different companies
-- is extremely helpful in this kind of regional setting.
Ultimately, we expect to extend the system beyond New
York State to our other regional station groups in the
Pacific Central and Pacific Northwest areas."
