INTRODUCTION
Bartis Russcll Broadcasting TV, LLC (hereafter BRBTV) submits our proposal in response to
RFP 0718-022322, Public Television Operations and Maintenance Services dated 28 January,
2022 and Addendum | dated February 10, 2022 and Addendum 2 dated February 23, 2022.
Our proposal is fully responsive to the RFP.
BRBTYV is a for-profit limited liability company registered in New Hampshire with a legal
address of 102 Amherst Street, Nashua, NH and was specifically created for this proposal/RFP
by Bob Bartis and George Russell, who also own and operate Bartis-Russell Broadcasting, LLC
(BRB) since Sept 2016.
The BRB entity operates WSMN radio since acquiring ownership of the station in March 2017.
Since that time, BRB has expanded their radio broadcasting footprint, created a new studio,
added an FM platform and has fully functioned as a self-funded, private radio station through the
pandemic including producing relevant and timely broadcasts surrounding, physical & mental
health, economy, politics, veterans’ affairs, old time radio shows and quality and contemporary
music shows.
BRB TV, LLC was created as a separate legal entity from its affiliate BRB for the same reason
Nashua’s Public Access Channel is contracted instead of being staffed by city employees like the
G- Channel and the E-Channel, to limit mutual exposure to liability.
The strength for successfully managing and operating the city’s public access channel lies not in
corporate history, but in the breadth of experience of those assigned to accomplish the job. We
offer a staff that is highly experienced in the radio and television broadcast industry:
= Our Project Manager is Mike Hemeon, who has 43 years of experience in management
and operations of commercial television and radio broadcasting.
= Our Engagement Manager is Bob Bartis, who has 7years experience in management and
operations of an AM and FM radio station, and 22 years as a licensed and practicing
attorney-at-law in New Hampshire
= Our Technical Services Manager is George Russell, who has 22 years experience in
management and operations of AM and FM radio stations, and is has received numerous
broadcast awards. .
This leadership team is backed up with experienced broadcast radio and television specialists.
We offer a diverse team, including two women, two Latinos, and two in their thirties.
We present in our proposal several innovative ideas. We also offer several initiatives and options
which aim to greatly enhance viewership of Nashua’s Public Access Channel. These are NOT
included within the proposed 3-year contract price. Rather, they are listed in an appendix as
options and come with additional costs, some of which will be priced given market rate and
