Importantly, he has a proven record of identifying new revenue-generating opportunities and developing unique digital and mobile concepts that enhanced audience reach and engagement. Throughout Dan’s career, his initiatives focused on local content leadership and excellence in viewer and client experience have consistently led to ratings and revenue share growth at the stations he has served.
