As the world’s leading supplier of digital<br />
broadcast equipment, <strong>Harris</strong> is a primary<br />
beneficiary of the continuing transition to<br />
digital standards. The company’s innovative<br />
solutions will help broadcasters generate new<br />
streams of revenue while conserving costs.<br />
[Broadcast]<br />
Communications<br />
The much-anticipated transition to digital television moved into full swing during the past<br />
12 months as U.S. broadcasters complied with FCC-designated deadlines for digital standards.<br />
Approximately half of the nation’s 1,600 broadcasters have already made<br />
[<br />
the financial commitment to digital transmission equipment. As a result,<br />
<strong>Harris</strong> captures<br />
nearly 90 percent of U.S. households have access to at least one digital TV<br />
signal. <strong>Harris</strong> is the nation’s leading supplier of digital broadcast equipment<br />
and has captured more than 60 percent of new digital transmitter sales to<br />
commercial stations.<br />
Public Television<br />
The digital transition also has begun among public television stations,<br />
which represent about 360 of the 1,600 total stations. <strong>Harris</strong> has had a very high win rate for<br />
public television digital transmitter contracts in fiscal <strong>2002</strong>, including sales to the state education<br />
networks in Indiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, New Mexico, Mississippi, and Wisconsin.<br />
<strong>Harris</strong> works closely with its broadcast customers to ensure their digital systems are designed<br />
for current operations and are expandable as station requirements grow.<br />
