Marc Jaromin is a television industry veteran known for wearing a variety of hats. His resumé includes stints as the head of WKBW-7 in Buffalo from fall 2019 through autumn 2023; as VP/GM of WROC-TV & WUHF-TV in Rochester, N.Y.; as the owner of a group of Jackson, Miss., stations he sold to Raycom Media 13 years ago; and as the associate dean for the National Association of Broadcasters Leadership Foundation’s Broadcast Leadership Training program.
Jaromin is now in the news for his latest role, one that sees him taking a post at Futuri.
In fact, he’s already settling in to his new role as Director of Public Safety Platforms.
For Futuri, founded by Dan Anstandig, that means Jaromin will direct the expansion of “BEACON,” the Broadcast Emergency Alerts and Communications Operations Network, which is a public safety communications system developed with the University of Florida and the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
As Futuri sees it, Jaromin brings “valuable industry relationships and expertise in developing forward-thinking broadcast initiatives,” adding that his decades of expertise “will also guide the broadcast adoption of BEACON across radio and television groups nationwide.”
Former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate will continue to provide strategic leadership in BEACON’s nationwide expansion, Futuri says.
