Todd Mason is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Broadcast Management Group, Inc. (BMG).
For over 30 years, Todd Mason has been a transformative leader in the broadcast industry, guiding Broadcast Management Group (BMG) to become one of the largest broadcast-managed services companies in the United States, providing enterprise video production services. Heading into its 20th year, BMG prides itself on leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance production quality, foster creativity, and lower costs while maintaining environmentally sustainable practices. BMG has established long-term relationships with many of the top US Broadcast networks, OTT and Fast channels, and Fortune 500 hundred companies.
Under Todd’s leadership, BMG has made numerous groundbreaking initiatives, including creating the first private cloud broadcast facility in 2021. This state-of-the-art facility utilizes proprietary processes for decentralized production teams leveraging centralized technology. Additionally, Todd led the rollout of a fleet of REMI mobile units, which have expanded BMG’s production capabilities and flexibility. Today, BMG is also the leading sports packager for REMI sporting events nationwide, with broadcasters, teams, and conferences leveraging BMG’s priority workflow. This innovative approach enables high-quality, large-scale REMI productions with the lowest latency, supported by decentralized production teams leveraging BMG’s centralized technology and fleet of purpose-built REMI mobile units.
Mason’s forward-thinking approach led to the launch of Schwab Network, the first full-time corporate over-the-top (OTT) news channel, in 2018, marking a significant milestone in enterprise video. BMG continues working with numerous corporate and government clients, designing and building advanced broadcast facilities tailored to their unique requirements, leveraging the BMG Cloud Control Center™.
Looking ahead, Todd and BMG are set to establish the first cloud network operations center (NOC) in Washington, DC, specifically designed for managed services by 2025. This 1080P/HRD, 4K-ready facility will enable clients to streamline their operations, significantly lowering capital and labor costs while aligning technology and staffing with business demands. The NOC will offer multiple video and audio control rooms, studios, master control, media asset management, and transmissions. Additionally, it will enhance BMG’s capacity to support live sports, entertainment, news, and corporate events, further solidifying Todd’s commitment to advancing the broadcast landscape.
BMG’s growth is reinforced by Todd’s dedication to leading industry advancements. From building the first tapeless broadcast facility in 2001 to redefining post-production by championing the move from razor-blade editing on steenbecks to digital non-linear editing, Todd’s career has consistently pushed the boundaries of broadcast technology. His forward-thinking approach has solidified BMG as a complete cloud/REMI service ecosystem, with broadcast facilities and hubs in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and D.C. This nationwide presence has positioned the company as a live production and managed services leader.
In addition to his executive and technical achievements, Tood is an accomplished live broadcast director with a portfolio that spans high-profile events across music, entertainment, news, and sports. His directorial expertise was pivotal in producing the January 6th Hearings in 2022, a ten-part series viewed by over 130 million people. This landmark event underscores Todd’s ability to manage complex productions that demand precision, adaptability, and a deep understanding of live broadcast dynamics. Other notable directing credits include Netflix’s Geeked interview series, IMdb’s Live after the Emmy’s, and IMDb’s Oscars Live Watch Party. Todd’s experience includes directing Two Friend’s Big Bootie Land concert in Chicago, multiple Impractical Jokers at Comic-Con events for truTV, and the Kansas City Chief’s World’s Largest Tailgate. Most recently, Todd directed the global broadcast of Taco Bell’s Live Más Live, a first-of-its-kind event with over 7 billion media impressions. This and multiple Emmy-winning broadcasts reflect his dedication to high-quality, engaging viewer experiences.
