The financial crisis, initially referred to in the media as a "credit crunch" or "credit crisis" and upgraded by many in terminology to GD-2 (Great Depression number 2), which began back in July 2007. The economic downturn greatly affected the advertisement revenues of the television broadcasters (TV stations); thereby forcing a decline in ENG/OB expenditures for microwave video link equipment.
