Edward H. "Hack" Hewson Jr., who assembled one of the nation's first fleets of mobile television newscasting units and helped start an early cable TV system, has died. He was 73.
Hewson died May 14 after a 13-year battle with prostate cancer...
Hewson started Northwest Mobile Television, a subsidiary that was one of the first in the country using trucks equipped with broadcasting equipment to provide on-the-scene news and sports reports. The operation was later sold and became National Mobile Television, at one point among the nation's largest mobile television ventures.
