LOS ANGELES — Get After It Media (GAIM), the national digital multicast network company that’s parent to Retro TV, The Heartland Network, The Action Channel, The Family Channel, and Rev’n, has a new Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Engineering.


Now the CTO/VPE at GAIM is David Gray.

It’s an expanded executive role for Gray, who will now lead all technology and engineering strategy across GAIM’s portfolio — “driving infrastructure innovation, optimizing technical operations, and future-proofing broadcast systems.”

Gray, like GAIM co-President/COO Otto Padrón, most recently worked at Meruelo Media. There, Gray was VP/Director of Engineering.

“David’s skill, clarity of purpose, vision, and deep understanding of where industry tech is headed is refreshing, exciting, and near clairvoyant,” said Joel Wertman, Co-President and CEO of GAIM. “He’s wired for speed, innovation, and precision—and we’re getting after it with him leading the charge.”

Padrón added, “I’ve had the honor of building big things with David for more than a decade. He’s delivered systems that scale, solutions that endure, and results that speak for themselves. David is a rock in turbulent times—and a true force for innovation. With him on our team, we are futurizing GAIM 2.0.”

Gray, who will be based in Southern California and report to Padrón, said, “After more than 40 years in broadcast technology—designing systems, leading teams, and helping shape how content reaches the world—this moment feels like both a culmination and a new beginning. GAIM is beyond a media company—it’s a mission-driven innovation engine. We’re building what’s next at the Forward Edge of Technology. I’m all in.”
