In the wake of the Sept. 11^th terrorist attacks on the U.S., air travel was suspended.  As a result, HSN (Home Shopping Network) required a two way remote feed from L.A. to the Network studio, for Suzanne Somer’s live show.   The remote took place at the TAN Broadcast Center located on the 12^th floor of the CNN building in Hollywood.  A microwave link was necessary due to security (safety) requirements.  UniSat TES 1 was a perfect choice for the job.  The truck is equipped with a 6.5 GHz microwave transmitter and receiver a top of a 52-foot mast.  The signal was sent via microwave to the truck, then turned around up to the satellite.  Past clients that have utilized this type of transmission include: ABC, BBC and CBS.  (Pictured below at the microwave transmitter, is Tom Martinez of Tan Broadcast Center).
