Cecil Corbett - 314.580.2484Having spent more than two decades hunting down and lighting up geostationary spacecraft under all types of field and production circumstances, Cecil Corbett is no stranger to satellite uplinks. Eighteen years at a local network affiliate, and more recently with a vendor truck based in Chicago specializing in network accounts, Corbett has engineered both single and multipath live shots and feeds. He brings first hand engineering knowledge of what it takes to reliably feed news, politics, weather, sports, public relations, radio, and celebrity event satellite transmissions. Experience has taught Corbett the importance of preparation; always meeting the client’s deadlines, and remaining flexible enough to adjust mid stream to the client’s request. Corbett’s talent as a television news photojournalist has earned him the industry’s coveted Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Journalism, as well as three Emmys as a news photographer.
