The Satellite Broadcasting and Communications Association said 30-year broadcasting and technology veteran Joseph Widoff has joined the group as executive director.
Widoff has served in senior leadership positions at two public broadcasting stations, and he worked at the Advanced Television Test Center, the facility that tested digital transmission systems for the FCC that ultimately resulted in the approved standard for the nation's Feb. 17, 2009, digital TV switch. He also was elected as a "DTV Pioneer" by the Consumer Electronics Association and has been recognized by both NTIA and PBS for his leadership in the digital television conversion.
"With a strong staff and supportive board, I have no doubt that the SBCA can become an even more valuable and effective representative of the satellite industry in its many facets of advocacy, representation and training," Widoff said in a statement.
