Pasternak started joined Fox in 1980 as a bench technician maintaining 3/4 inch U-Matic video-cassette recorders used by the station's news operation.

Over the years he did just about every job found at a television station. Pasternak says that the last 12 years working as the engineering contact with the news department have been the ones he has enjoyed the most. There he's not only worked the technical side but also has been on the air several times as an expert on all things electronic and radio communications for news stories reported by Hal Eisner, Phil Schuman and others.

Bill has only retired from broadcasting but not from life. He says that he has a number of projects he wants to undertake including the production of a television documentary on a medical researcher and completing the script for a two act stage play.

He will also be continuing his V-H-F column in Worldradio Magazine and producing the weekly Amateur Radio Newsline reports. That, coupled with a wife, daughter, son-in-law and four very active grandkids, will keep Bill a very busy 67-year old boy.
