Uplink Trucks | Tech Specs | Contact Main Truck

TV2GO wouldn't be the same without William Allen, otherwise known as Bill. He has been the chief driver/operator with TV2GO since May 1988. Bill's officially logged over one million kilometers driving our uplink trucks all over North America.

This is a man of many talents. With his background in electronics, he worked for IBM for six years as a customer engineer before coming onboard with us. Bill has also managed auto racing teams and owns a busy taxicab. He's a Class "A" Licensed auto mechanic, which has been a lifesaver for us on the odd occasion.

Bill really knows his satellite "stuff" and maintains his cool in the crunch of fast-breaking news coverage and in the face of the occasional addled producer. This is why he has such a great reputation and why we are frequently chosen for pool feeds by American and Canadian networks alike.

He's also very modest. We won't let him read this.

Adrian Hepes, our Technical Director, is fluent in four languages: English, French, Hungarian and Romanian. He has some knowlege of German and Italian as well.

Before joining us, Adrian worked for six years at Toronto's Dome Productions as Technical Producer. He covered live sports events such as the MLB, NBA, NHL series. He also handled studio shows, satellite media tours and teleconferences.

He's a qualified satellite engineer, camera operator, sound engineer, and editor. He helped build our facilities, so he is well-qualified to run them.

Graduate of the Romanian Polytechnic University in 1983, he worked as satellite uplink operator and camera operator with News Network, the East European bureau of British Sky News Broadcasting. He covered and transmitted the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, military conflicts in the former Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Croatia and Bosnia.

Adrian also set up and launched the first Hungarian satellite TV station, Duna TV, which is still active to this day.

We are extremely proud to have Adrian as our Technical Director. We think you'll be very impressed with his skill and his keen sense of dedication, going the extra mile.
