Telecorps Communications and Wexler Video are launching a new division to help U.S. broadcasters transition to HD.
The new service, "Telecorps Leasing powered by Wexler Video," allows station groups and affiliated stations to obtain the equipment needed while minimizing capital expenditures, technology risk, and maintenance staff. It leverages Wexler's equipment rental and consultative services with the experience of the Telecorps Communications executive team, which includes seasoned television executives with backgrounds in station management. In addition to equipment leasing and consultative services, Telecorps Leasing will also offer repair services on leased equipment.
Telecorps Communications, an acquisition company in Indianapolis, bought Wexler Video in Burbank, Calif., last month. Wexler has been a leading provider of equipment rentals and workflow expertise to top television productions for more than 25 years and is known for designing solutions for video villages, hidden cameras, and multipath wireless sound gathering.
"Our intent is to help stations preserve and extend local market brands in the digital era with a plan that moderates expense and risk to prudent levels," said Rob McConnell, CEO of Telecorps Communications. "We understand from our own experience that maintaining a competitive edge in respective markets is always of utmost importance. This service offers stations an alternative financial agreement to buying equipment outright and does not oblige the broadcaster to a lease-to-buy scenario."
