INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
DTC Advisor Featured on Spectrum Repack Panel at NAB

DTC's Jay Adrick will address questions such as these during two different sessions at NAB. A 51-year veteran of the broadcast industry, RF engineer Adrick specializes in broadcast spectrum issues, emergency broadcasting and next-generation DTV standard ATSC 3.0.
