\nAs I sit here and reflect on all the changes and the opportunities that 2022 has brought to Midwest Video Solutions, I also look to the future and am beyond excited to see what is in store for MVS.<\/span><\/p>\n

2022 was a year of changes.\u00a0 Midwest Video Solutions changed their ownership structure, bringing on board <\/span>AcenTek <\/span><\/a>as a fourth owner.\u00a0 With this, we grew our subscriber base significantly as AcenTek was able to turn down their #<\/span>headend<\/span><\/a>, allowing MVS to manage that part of their business.\u00a0 We also welcomed <\/span>Ethan Webinger<\/span><\/a>, AcenTek\u2019s Chief Operating Officer as a new, and fourth, MVS Board of Director.<\/span><\/p>\n

MVS also celebrated a retirement from one of the original founders of MVS, Rod Olson.\u00a0 Rod served as Vernon Communications\u2019 Chief Executive Officer for 23 years and was instrumental in bringing to life the vision of MVS in 2008.\u00a0 MVS thanks him for his commitment to MVS and the Telco industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given Rod\u2019s retirement, MVS owner, Midwest TelNet nominated a new Board Director to represent them, <\/span>Jim Costello<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 MVS welcomes Jim to the Board and looks forward to working with him as we navigate through the times ahead and set priorities to meet our member\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, we also signed on six new affiliate members. SIX!\u00a0 We welcome you to the MVS membership and look forward to serving you with television offerings today, and well into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of these six affiliates are subscribers to our fully hosted and managed video solution offered through MVS and Innovative Systems. The four other affiliates have opted for another design requiring equipment housed on the edge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of our key takeaways from the last few years is that one sure thing about this industry is change, and the key for success is to adapt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you already subscribe to our newsletter?\u00a0 Do you follow our new <\/span>MVS page on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a>?\u00a0 If so, you likely have noticed that these are new avenues for MVS to further their outreach. Creating content and advertising who we are as a team, as employees, and as a partner in the industry has been rewarding and well accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another takeaway from 2022 was attending and showcasing conferences throughout the year.\u00a0 MVS attended shows that supported its existing membership, as well as shows that lead us to prospects and opportunities for growth.\u00a0 MVS looks forward to continuing the roadshow going forward as we recognize the importance of building, nurturing, and creating relationships.\u00a0 We thank you all for the opportunity in getting to know each one of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

We would also like to take this opportunity to reflect on an upcoming retirement for Marty Snustead.\u00a0 Marty has served as the MVS Executive Director since its inception in 2008.\u00a0 Marty\u2019s hard work, dedication, and vision for MVS has set the organization up for the success we hope to see it reap in years to come.\u00a0 Marty has been in the industry for over 40 years, and the wealth of knowledge and experience he brought to the table does not go unrecognized.\u00a0 Marty, we thank you for your years of service to MVS and this industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given Marty\u2019s retirement, the Board of Directors has decided to promote me, the current Operations Manager into the Executive Director role.\u00a0 To say that I am humbled, grateful and beyond excited for this opportunity would be an understatement.\u00a0 To reflect on where my career started in 2005 with Vernon Communications, to where it is today amazes me.\u00a0 After graduating with a Finance Degree from UW-La Crosse, I had no idea that I would be in this industry, yet here I am; and I can say that I never want to leave it!\u00a0 I thank the Board of Directors, past and present, the programmers, the affiliate members, the staff, and others for their support in the past and moving forward, knowing that it takes a village! Though our team is small, we are dedicated, and I cannot wait for Cory Mosier, Justin Beaman and myself to seek and learn of opportunities to meet member\u2019s needs, while also meeting and maintaining a quality television service that is proven and trusted to meet your, and your subscriber\u2019s needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch for our upcoming blog articles, where we plan to share what we have in store for 2023!\u00a0 You will not want to miss it, so I suggest you <\/span>subscribe<\/span><\/a> to our newsletter here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers to 2022 and to 2023 friends \u2013 may you all have a joyous and wonderful Holiday Season, filled with making memories with those you love!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
