Ron Paley was honored this week for
contributions to the Canadian broadcast industry during the Western Association
of Broadcast Engineers (WABE) convention in Calgary, Alberta.
Ron and wife Carol Paley operate family businesses Oakwood Broadcast and
Ron Paley Broadcast. The company recently acquired Digital Juke Box Automation.
He received the WABE Ambassador of the Year Award.
The
award was noted as well by Wheatstone Corp. Oakwood Broadcast represents the
Audioarts line while Ron Paley Broadcast handles the Wheatstone and Vorsis
lines as a studio systems consultant. Further, son Darrin Paley has worked for
Wheatstone for 11 years, after spending six years in the Paley family business.
Wheatstone President Gary Snow said in the company’s own
announcement, “Ron is a huge part of the broadcast story as well as the
Wheatstone story. He has been a driving force behind all the important
milestones in Canadian broadcasting. If it was happening in Canada, and if it
was good for broadcasters, you can be sure Ron was involved somehow.”
Paley also was long associated with automation manufacturer OMT
Technologies.
