Exhibit 99.1

WEGENER Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR) a leading provider of satellite
transmission solutions for broadcast and cable television networks worldwide,
today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003.

    Third quarter fiscal 2003 revenues were $6.3 million, resulting in net
earnings of $123,000, or $0.01 per share.  WEGENER's third quarter pre-tax
results include $809,000 in legal expenses and other professional fees related
to defending the Company against an unsolicited takeover attempt by Radyne
ComStream, Inc.  These costs were partially offset by a separate $265,000
insurance reimbursement for legal costs previously incurred.

    WEGENER's third quarter revenues grew 20% over the second fiscal quarter
revenues of $5.2 million, and were essentially flat with third fiscal quarter
of 2002.  Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 were $6.3 million,
with net earnings of $379,000 or $0.03 per share.  WEGENER's eighteen-month
backlog on May 30, 2003, stood at $12.3 million and its total backlog is more
than $26 million.

    Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were $15.4 million, with
a net loss of $130,000, or $(0.01) per share, compared to revenues of $18.2
million and net earnings of $768,000, or $0.06 per share, for the first nine
months of fiscal 2002.

    "Our third quarter continued the momentum which began in our first fiscal
quarter this year," said Chairman and CEO Robert A. Placek.  "We are beginning
to see the results of our extensive research, development and marketing
efforts that have culminated in our new family of products -- iPump, MediaPlan
and COMPEL.  This revolutionary new line of products is just reaching the
market, and we anticipate that these products will have a significant positive
impact on WEGENER's revenues and earnings.  We're pleased with the quarter but
disappointed that our earnings were adversely affected by spending time and
money on Radyne's unsolicited takeover attempt."

    WEGENER archived three key milestones in the third quarter:
    *  iPump -- After a long development cycle, WEGENER's iPump(R) is now
       ready for shipment and the Company is receiving orders.  During the
       quarter, WEGENER announced that it has received an iPump network order
       from Precis Communications.

    *  Globecomm Systems Strategic Marketing Agreement -- Globecomm selected
       WEGENER as a strategic hardware and software vendor for its
       SkyBorne(SM) suite of services.  Under this agreement, Globecomm will
       market WEGENER products, including COMPEL Network Control, COMPEL CA
       encryption, the MediaPlan i/o ingest system, the iPump Media Server and
       the UNITY family of DVB IRDs, as part of its turnkey content delivery
       solutions.

    *  Scientific-Atlanta Agreement -- Scientific-Atlanta chose WEGENER's
       digital video TV products as part of its portfolio of headend solutions
       sold under its private label to cable operators who want a cost
       effective way to convert HDTV signals.
