broadcast technologies and migrate from capital budget constraints to operating
budget solutions,” said Russ Johnson, senior vice president of sales,

Americas,
Harris Broadcast Communications. “Harris Finance will allow our customers
flexible solutions that spread the cost of technology to match the timing of
revenues or cost savings. In short, Harris Finance can help our Channel

beneficial relationship,” said Vince Rinaldi, president and CEO of National
