John Kittleman has more than 30 years in broadcast sales, management and operations. His station, KRGV-TV (ABC), recently started providing live Spanish-language translation of all the station’s newscasts – an important undertaking in a market where 90% of the viewers are Hispanic origin – while sustaining award-winning investigative journalism and groundbreaking community service programs. During his several terms on the TAB Board of Directors, Kittleman has been an active leader on the legislative front, never forgetting the true goal of serving his local community.
Austin – The Texas Association of Broadcasters will honor five broadcast leaders at TAB’s Annual Awards Gala. The gala, part of the association’s 63rd Annual Convention & Trade Show, is set for Thursday, Aug. 11 from 7-10 pm at the Renaissance Austin Hotel (9721 Arboretum Blvd., Austin, Texas 78759).
“Texas communities benefit daily from their local broadcasters’ dedication to informing and protecting their viewers and listeners while partnering with businesses small and large to propel the local economy,” said TAB President Oscar Rodriguez.
“The broadcast leaders TAB honors this year have raised the bar for their peers and for all local business leaders who strive to better their communities and their state by taking calculated risks and forging strong partnerships to expand opportunities for all Texans.”Photo archive by Roberto Hugo Gonzalez
