The Advanced Television Broadcasting Alliance (ATBA) has elected a new Chair of the organization, and she’ll formally take on her new role at its annual board meeting on April 5, ahead of the NAB Show in Las Vegas.
Taking the position is Kristina Bruni.
From 2011 to 2017, she spearheaded the ground-up construction of more than 55 low-power television stations, overseeing engineering and equipment sourcing to deployment management, FCC compliance, and reporting.
She is widely recognized as an accomplished LPTV construction manager and currently serves as the Managing Member of Fair Play Broadcasting LLC, a licensee of LPTV stations across the United States.
“As the new Chair of ATBA, Bruni brings a bold vision and deep commitment to advancing the future of LPTV and over-the-top (OTT) broadcasting,” the organization says. “With Kristina Bruni’s leadership, the Alliance is poised to accelerate its mission of promoting localism, technological innovation, and expanded access to broadcasting opportunities.”
Bruni succeeds Robert Folliard, who becomes Immediate Past Chair. Also continuing in their leadership roles are Heidi Steffen of TitanTV as Vice Chair and Irwin Podhajser as Secretary/Treasurer.
Additionally, the ATBA board welcomes Alessandro Annoni of Rohde & Schwarz, who joins as a newly appointed board member.
