Radio Interview: Brian Seth Hurst, CEO, The Opportunity Management Company
Brian Seth Hurst, a well-known figure in interactive TV circles, was
recently elected as vice chairman of the Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences, the organization behind the Primetime Emmys. His election
marks the first time ever that a new media specialist has served in such
a senior role at the Academy.
In this recorded audio interview from the
latest edition of [itvt]'s new talk radio show, "The TV of Tomorrow
Show with Tracy Swedlow," Hurst discusses what his election says
about the evolution of the Academy and of the television establishment
in general; the significance of the ongoing writers' strike for the
interactive and broadband TV industries; and much more.
