Michael “Mike” Antonovich, Lead Sales and Marketing, Roberts Communications Network (Roberts)
Industry veteran Michael “Mike” Antonovich, with more than thirty years of broadcast, satellite and telecommunications industry experience, is joining Las Vegas, Nevada based Roberts Communications Network (Roberts) to lead their sales and marketing efforts, most specifically targeting the many broadcast, cable, DTH and emerging “new media” opportunities that Roberts is well positioned to serve.
“Roberts has been a quiet leader in integrated media solutions for more than twenty five years“, commented Todd Roberts, President and CEO of Roberts Communications Network, LLC. “We think it’s time for the rest of the media and broadcast community to learn a whole lot more about our capabilities and assets, and I can think of no one better positioned to get the word out than Mike Antonovich, and we’re thrilled that he has joined us.”
“What Todd said is absolutely on target” said Antonovich, “Roberts owns and operates 110 uplinks, leases 12 satellite transponders, operates more than 250 MPEG-4 encoders, 250 DVB-S2 modulators, manages a global MPLS network, originates numerous video streams a day and has one of the industry’s most advanced hybrid satellite and terrestrial networks, yet very few in our industry know anything about us. That is about to change. This is a highly focused company with outstanding customer service that many in the media and broadcast community are going to love doing business with. I am really happy to be part of the team.”
Prior to joining Roberts, Antonovich had extensive operations, engineering, sales, marketing, contracting and executive roles with companies as varied as ESPN, Group W Satellite Communications, PanAmSat, The Spaceconnection, Genesis Networks and Global Crossing. “What I really love about this opportunity is utilizing all of the technologies and services that have been developed over the last 30 years in this ever changing media distribution landscape, “commented Antonovich, “What a great time to be a customer. And what a great time to serve them.”
