摘要

Meredith Broadcasting Group, which owns 12 stations, is currently shopping for the necessary pieces of two new technical hubs that the station group aims to create in Atlanta and Phoenix. The hubbing project, which is scheduled to be completed by early 2010, is beingrnspearheaded by VP of Technology Larry Oaks, who joined Meredith in November after serving as director of engineering-special projects for UN TV Corp. The first phase of the project, scheduled to be completed by midsummer, will consolidate master control, traffic, research and business-office functions for WSMV Nashville, WHNS Greenville, S.C., and WGCL Atlanta to a hub in Georgia's capital city. After that's completed, a second hub will be created at KPHO Phoenix that may incorporate Meredith stations in Portland and Las Vegas.
