MP&A in 2025

Michael Patton & Associates is a radio broadcasting systems integrator and equipment repair firm, providing in-shop equipment repair, in-shop and on-site transmitter rebuilding, AM & FM facility design & construction, and AM directional antenna and diplexing systems design, and other construction & maintenance services to AM & FM stations all over America and abroad. Located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, MP&A prides ourselves on the quality of our work, and strives to achieve the highest standards of reliability and safety while keeping the prices our customers pay reasonable.

As of the spring of 2025, MP&A is proud to employ on a full-time basis two very talented bench technicians, James Scullin, the workbench manager, and Anthony Babin, and two interns, Landon Roberts and Christian Rarick, who are learning a lot from the bench techs and maybe a bit from the Old Man, too. The office is run like a well-oiled machine by Allison Hall. And Lynn Dortch, who worked full-time with us for many years, is officially retired these days, but still comes out to help with projects from time to time. See the staff bio page for more details on our hardworking staffers.
