TV Magic Makes Sales, Engineering Appointments

Broadcast systems integrator TV Magic today announced the appointment of Stephen Milley as the company's vice president of sales.

Milley has been involved in the broadcast, production, and A/V markets for nearly 20 years, working as a professional in the field and serving in sales and marketing roles for world-leading manufacturers of broadcast equipment.

In his new position with TV Magic, Milley will oversee the company's San Diego, Los Angeles and New York sales and marketing departments. The appointment of Milley as vice president of sales and marketing enables TV Magic's Pat Thompson to take on the new role of senior vice president of engineering operations.

Milley began his career in the video production world after graduating from Temple University with a degree from the university's Radio-TV-Film Department. His experience in numerous production roles led to his appointment as a production manager for Visual Sound, where his credits included commercials with JC Penney, music videos with Boyz II Men, and broadcasts of WTA (Women's Tennis Association) events.

Milley entered broadcast sales and marketing with a post at Audio Video Supply and later joined Panasonic Broadcast & Television Systems as district sales manager for Southern California, Nevada, and Hawaii. He then became a district sales manager at JVC Professional Products Co., where he was instrumental in the launch of the company's ProHD product line, with successful implementation in accounts including Saddleback Church, KOCE, Viejas Casino, and California State Fullerton. 

Thompson's new position as senior vice president of engineering operations entails heading up all engineering across TV Magic. He will focus on the engineering department's organizational structure, reporting and process, development of metrics, resource management, organizing and implementing the project management office, and all things in between.

Thompson has been with the company in various capacities and has extensive knowledge of its management, organization, business, history, and focus. He is also part of executive management, helping to support, organize and prepare engineering operations for the future.
