XETV (Bay City TV / TV Magic)

2003 - 2005

Senior Broadcast & Satellite Engineer

While building River Communications' reputation in broadcast, I took on a hands-on engineering role at XETV (Bay City TV / TV Magic), supporting live television operations and the station's technical buildout.

What I did:

• Satellite-truck operations and engineering for live broadcasts

• Broadcast engineering — camera shading, equipment repair, and tower engineering

• New studio design, master control, and syndication

• Broadcast consulting and video strategy

During this time I earned my FCC license, SBE, and iNARTE certifications, and began my MA in Management & Organizational Leadership.
