Broadcast Engineering in 2003: so many ads it broke the desk, now gone
Yesterday it was announced that Broadcast Engineering magazine would cease publication. I spent more than 20 year with the publication and I remember many good times. I took these pictures at the 2003 National Association of Broadcasters show. Broadcast Engineering was so full of ads that when we put the issues in our trade show booth reception desk, the shelves holding them bucked under the weight. Today, trade show reception desks are largely safe from this danger.
