SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE

Ranging from on-air announcing to “running the board" for numerous remotes, to the production of spots and
PSAs, I have developed and demonstrated strong abilities in running a solid program regardless of format or
day-part, while being able to multi-task in production when time allowed. In short, my skill sets have been
cuktivated from a combination of mostly self-education and independent study, with plenty of hands-on ‘in-the-
field’ training. Not only was my education developed towards the technical side of radio, but also expanded by
the learning and understanding of how management, prograrmming, advertising and engineering work together to
detiver a solid and consistent on-air product to the listener. Below is a list of my responsibilities and

PERSONAL INTERESTS

Ehave many interests and hobbies which have been wide and varied throughout my life, most of which include
science, philosophy, mythology, model building, culinary, paleontology, astronomy, sci-fi and politics. Among these,
broadcasting being the obvious one, I have a strong passion for broadcast audio processing. Having once personally
owned an industry-grade broadcast audio processor, I learned hands-on about this esoteric audio artform, and
developed an iron-clad understanding and the skills necessary in the installation, setup and maintenance of such
devices. As part of the same hobby, [ am presently using Stereo Tool Broadcast Processor for my own personal
enjoyment at home in my media center, through which my understanding of such applications has increased. The
end goal of this is to develop my own webcast radio station using Stereo Tool to drive the stream. Aside from thal, I
like to stay abreast on current events and occasionally enjoy discussing national and world affairs. During my free
time, | enjoy reading philosophy and fiction. I also enjoy reading any technical whitepapers published by Orban and
Omnia to further my understanding and stay as current as J can in the latest breakthroughs and applications in audio
processing. Additionally, as a hobby, I enjoy blueprint reading and drafting, and I am currently working on my own
personal set of sci-fi vehicle blueprints using 2D drafting software.

APPENDIX! Innovative Options

We propose several optional tnnovations which aim to dramatically increase ihe P-Channel audience.

Thesc options are not included in the basic proposal, but are proposed in response to the Q&A in
Addendum | concerning options we would like the city to consider.

These options are not currently priced. A cost will be provided for any of the following options the city
may wish to exercisc.

1.

Initiatives to Promote Viewership.

We propose to rebrand the channel and edify the community with local people, local stories, and
local content. It can be watched locally and worldwide on BRB TV App. We will teach the
community what Public Access is and how to usc it and how the citizens can embrace it within and
for their community.

Part of our rebranding efforts will be to include fresh, vibrant and new content and rebrand the
concept of public access to lose the stigma of an archaic, boring content channel with little to no
viewership to become a !cgitimate TV station with a new concept: “BRB T¥-where you want to be”.
Viewers will be able to watch on their local TV cable channel, on the internet, and on the BRB App.

We propose to use the public access channel to bring edifying content to the community and provide
sense of inclusion through content. We will combine uplifting radio shows with live TV and utilize
the radio to promote TV shows. The cross promotion of TV and radio is uniquc aspect to our
proposal.

Rather than a plethora of repeated shows, it ts our goal to provide fresh content on TV on regular
consistent weekly basis, with innovative and creative editing and promotion of shows, and upcoming
events.

We will develop diversity programming-bilingual shows, and seek content for all nationalities and
ethnicities.

We will have channel 96 as source of information for city-content weekly intcrviews/shows with
Health Dept., DPW, NPD, NFD, Aldermen, Mayor, and Showcase City Employees/Depts.

We will create Educational programming on TV with content to include reading, math, history,
literature, comcdy, music, vignettes, hobbyists, children's programming, puppet shows and kids
hosting show for their local school news/sports/cevents.

We will need to obtain music licensing for ASCAP/BMIJ/SESAC so programs have bumper music,
music shows (i.e. Sundays with Sinatra), to have music played while billboards are displayed and
ticker scrolls. We will seck to broadcast on multiple platforms such as Roku, Apple and FireStick,
Amazon. We anticipate broadcasting with close captioning and with translation scrviccs given our
bilingual members on our team.

We wilt explore the use of and utilize local colleges (SNHU and Rivier) for staffers, journalists,
anchors, We will explore ‘content for credit’ with academic institutions within the city and explore
college course curriculum and use of the BRB TV studios.

We anticipate developing a News Team with Live morning and evening newscast and leasing a
vehicle wrapped with station logos to promote station while collecting news for broadcast.

2. Streaming Content.

Nashua has a video server that takes care of all three stations with on-demand programming and
streams live content. We propose to add Reku and Amazon Fire Stick for the vicwer’s streaming
access, These comprise about 60% of the streaming access (OTT) devices used today.

3. Closed Captioning.

We propose closed captioning with apps available to accommodate any language.

If a viewer wants to sce closed captioned text, whether English or any other language offered, he/she
would do it with the Closed Captioning (CC) menu, same as any streamed program. We would
promote how to do this with a video. The P-channel offers both English and Spanish programs
today. We would naturally offer Spanish to English for the Spanish language shows and English to
Spanish for English language shows.

The VEED close captioning app can be utilized. This would have to be done for selected videos that
we produce and it would be encouraged for any hosted show and anyone producing a video as an
incentive for dramatically improving their viewership. We will instruct contributors as part of the
production process, and provide user documentation.

4. Nashua Performance Arts Center Coverage.

We propose to set up a nctwork access point inside the Nashua Performing Arts Center (PAC) to
incorporate studio/broadcast events and promote the new and unique opportunity offered by this
entertainment center.

§. Studio inside the Performance Arts center.

We will investigate and proposc to CTAB to setup a small studio equipped with cameras inside
the Performance Arts Center to interview artists and others involved with the PAC.
