ENG is a broadcasting (usually television) industry acronym which stands for electronic news gathering. It can mean anything from a lone reporter taking a single camcorder out to get a story to an entire television crew taking a satellite truck on location to do a live report for a newscast.  

ENG originally referred to the use of point-to-point terrestrial microwave signals to backhaul the remote signal to the studio.  Terrestrial microwave vehicles can usually be identified by their masts which can be extended up to 50 feet (15 m) in the air (to allow line-of-sight with the station's receiver antennas), while satellite trucks always use a larger dish that unfolds and points skywards towards one of the geostationary communications satellites In the U.S. there are ten ENG video channels set aside in each area for terrestrial microwave communications,
