Jeff Lyle operated and ran Media Gateway in Little Rock for years. He was a pioneer of central casting over IP and was a friend to me and many others in the industry. He went home to Davenport for the Holiday Season in 2018 and suffered a massive stroke. He passed away in March 2019. Brian Short then stepped in at very short notice to take over the management of the Little Rock facility. It was a tremendous shock to lose Jeff. LATER NOTE: In 2020, Brian would move the facility and much of the equipment to an new all-IP plant in Kansas that operates as TV Masters.
