Michal Miskin-Amir, Jonathan Stanton and Bobby Bond to lead technical advances amid surge in demand for LTN's IP video transport services as satellite capacity declines

LTN announces the appointment of three experienced executives to lead its new Technology organization: Michal Miskin-Amir as EVP and Head of Technology, Jonathan Stanton as SVP and Head of Infrastructure, and Bobby Bond as SVP and Head of Development. The internal appointments coincide with a new phase of growth for the media services and technology company as broadcasters and content providers rapidly migrate live video transport from satellite to LTN's purpose-built, global IP network.

"We're entering a pivotal moment and delivering mission-critical services for customers at much higher scale and speed than ever before. Our full-time channel distribution revenue has grown 28% per year for the last several years, and is poised for even faster growth as C-Band satellite spectrum auctions approach, said Malik Khan, Executive Chairman & Co-Founder at LTN. Broadcasters are moving more and higher value channels to our SLA-backed IP managed service that delivers unmatched reach and flexibility. These appointments will drive LTN's technical roadmap forward as we further expand our reach to 100% of all content delivery platforms, offer more advanced monitoring tools, and highly automated and AI-based service capabilities that support our customers' needs.

Michal Miskin-Amir, EVP and Head of Technology builds on 18 years' experience driving video transport innovation at LTN since the inception of the company most recently as EVP of Development to lead LTN's new Technology organization, supported by Stanton and Bond. Miskin-Amir's group will be responsible for creating and executing on a unified technical vision that combines infrastructure and development, enabling LTN to accelerate its software engineering and automated service delivery advancements.

Dr. Jonathan Stanton, SVP and Head of Infrastructure expands his leadership of hardware, network, facility, and datacenter design and engineering, as well as corporate IT, vendor management and security. Stanton will focus on advancing the reliability and scalability of LTN's services platform and global IP network delivering contractual SLAs of 99.9999% availability to support rapid business growth while collaborating with product and sales teams to engineer world-class customer solutions. Alongside Miskin-Amir, Stanton is an innovative technologist with several patents for real-time video delivery that were co-created at LTN, and has built core LTN services for the last 18 years since the company's founding.

Bobby Bond, SVP and Head of Development takes an expanded leadership role overseeing all software engineering and development across the organization. Bond will continue advancing the company's software development lifecycle, enhancing software delivery and automation, while driving innovation in internal operational tools and customer-facing tooling and monitoring. Bond steps into the new position with over 20 years' experience in media and technology, joining LTN in 2022 after his most recent role as VP of Ad Technology at leading media network USA TODAY.

Khan added: These highly skilled professionals have contributed significantly to LTN's success and technology leadership to date. Together, they will develop and implement new features that reinforce our network as the market-leading IP video transport solution while powering greater scale and flexibility for broadcasters, sports networks and rights holders delivering high-value live video.

Last year alone, LTN's IP distribution footprint surged 200%, enabling seamless access to every US pay TV household. The company delivers over 8,000 channels and millions of live events every year via its global multicast IP network for media organizations including TelevisaUnivision, Tennis Channel, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network and The E.W. Scripps Company.
