Breaking ground with GAY.tv

Please view attached article.

Synopsis
Enormous media coverage has been given to GAY.tv, Italy's green field satellite channel project in Milan. As the first multi-platform web site, GAY.tv's goals include giving the general public a positive example of homosexuality. Its first months on-air definitely seem to be succeeding in the intent of offering the gay community a reference point as far as TV is concerned while offering heterosexuals the opportunity to watch and understand their viewpoints. Etere Automation plays a key role for this channel.

"Even if the product installed were selected after in-depth examination of the channel's precise needs, generally speaking, it was preferred not to request any particular custom features, this enables Etere Automation software to dialogue with the two programmable Delta multi-layer graphic effect playback and character generation units by Dutch manufacturer Publitronic."
