Greg Hoskin Joins OmniBus Systems as Executive VP of Broadcast Sales

LONDON — Jan. 20, 2010 — OmniBus Systems, the award-winning provider of comprehensive broadcast automation, content management and workflow solutions, today announced the appointment of Greg Hoskin as executive vice president of Broadcast Sales. Hoskin returns to the company after spells in strategic roles at Omneon Inc. and Megahertz Broadcast Systems, and he will play a prominent part in developing the markets for the industry-leading OmniBus iTX IT-based transmission and automation platform.

"I made the decision to rejoin OmniBus because of the great success and huge potential of the iTX platform," said Hoskin. "The market has woken up to the fact that next-generation products based on IT platforms meet financial, business and operational objectives much better than the traditional solutions. OmniBus has already achieved major sales wins with top industry names with iTX, and it is driving some of the most adventurous broadcasting and media projects out there. The company is in a strong financial position and poised for very rapid global growth, so it's a really exciting prospect."

Hoskin's 30-year track record in the industry has given him a great depth of experience in the evolution of automation and file server technologies, the backbone of future media delivery solutions.

"We are very fortunate to bring Greg back into OmniBus," said Mike Oldham, CEO of OmniBus Systems. "Greg is a seasoned and successful broadcast industry leader. His experience working previously for OmniBus and, more recently, for a leading systems integrator and a video server manufacturer give him a unique understanding of the needs of broadcasters around the world."

OmniBus iTX is the next-generation solution that makes the conventional broadcast automation, master control and playout chain obsolete. Combining and exceeding all the functions of a conventional chain in a single, integrated suite of software applications, iTX is flexible, open and feature-rich, and offers a significantly more configurable and responsive end-to-end solution for a wide range of operating environments. With market-beating support for SD and HD formats and exceptional ability to integrate with third-party systems, iTX delivers the most powerful solution available while significantly reducing the investment required to launch and operate high-quality channels in broadcast, IPTV, mobile TV, disaster recovery and business continuity applications.
