Suddenlink Media Services: |
|
Production Assistant |
06/05/2006 - present |
Cebridge Communications bought the Texas and select California properties of Cox Communications, acquiring the
Central Group of Cox Media in the process. During this transition my duties have increased from Master
Control/Encoding to coordination with other team members in the transition of former Cox Media independent
properties to Suddenlink Media Services properties. This has entailed the transfer and follow through of
current running ads, dubs of those ads, and raw data file transfer of those ads. Further, as logistics with
Bakersfield, California Longform (30 minute church, community and informercial) programming has changed, I
have remained tasked as coordinating the encoding and shipment of these programs to the Bakersfield office,
while taking upon Per Inquiry/30 minute Infomercial Encoding and Scheduling responsibilities for the markets
of Tyler, Bryan/College Station, Victoria, Texas.

Downsizing in staff and my department brought about a reorganization of all operations departments as Cox Media
prepared for streamlining and a pending company sale. My position shifted from supervisor to senior full-time team
member of the master control/digital encoding team within the production department. Responsibilities were expanded
from Encoding/Dubs, and Master Control work to the encoding and scheduling of 30 min programming for the offices of
Bakersfield, California and San Angelo, Texas.

Master Control Supervisor |
9/30/97 - 10/2002 |
Hired as a cable ad encoder with responsibilities that extended into other areas as well such as traffic or data entry
and basic production tasks such as emergency edits, dubs, etc. Within 8 months I was promoted to shift supervisor as
the MCC or master control department was formed. I became responsible for making sure that all CableTime media produced
at the corporate office was shipped via the required deadlines, and that all ads were ready to run for the upcoming week.
I became proficient in the intricacies of scheduling an assortment of 15 to 20 full time and part time employees as well
as documentation of all MCC operations. This included technical writing of procedures and manuals that eventually were
shipped to field offices.
