Broadcast members
The AP has upgraded its satellite network with technology that allows us to combine our regional and national wires into one, --at a speed of 19.2k.

Radio : In the past, a 3-meter C-band dish had to be installed, with the member being responsible for all site preparation costs in order to receive audio. Recently, we have installed 1.2-meter KU band satellite dishes along with new electronics which allow digital audio to be received as well as the high speed news wire.

For more information on our Radio services, please go to our Broadcast page for e-mail and phone numbers of the Regional Radio Executives for your market.

TV: The AP has installed 3.4-meter satellite dishes to allow for the reception of our APTN video feed. In some cases we install video decoders through the member's own dish.
