GatesAir Celebrates 95th Anniversary

GatesAir is celebrating its 95th anniversary, with the company planning a number of events and activities throughout the year to mark the occasion.

GatesAir will first publicly recognise the milestone with its '95 Years Big Kick Off' customer event at the 2017 NAB Show. This will be followed with public open houses at its Mason, Ohio headquarters and Quincy manufacturing centre later this year, and 95-year receptions at IBC and The Radio Show in September.

In February meanwhile, the company will unveil special customer contests regarding the oldest GatesAir transmitter and oldest "working" GatesAir transmitter installed today. Contest winners will be publicly announced in December, with winners recognised at a party that will coincide with a private customer event in Quincy in November. Additional details on all events will follow in the coming weeks and months.

Phil Argyris, CEO, GatesAir, said: "It's an exciting time to be in this industry given the many opportunities that exist for the broadcaster moving forward. Given the company's recent sales success and product innovations, there is perhaps no better time to recognize our company's achievements over the past 95 years as we lay the groundwork for the future of over-the-air television and radio."
