An employment ad in the New York Post says the director will "oversee and manage day-to-day operations
associated with all non-linear network businesses including Internet
and digital distribution, On Demand (cable VOD and PVR applications for
satellite distributors), interactive television, broadband and wireless
applications (wireless video, Fuel TV mobile offerings etc.)."
Fuel TV's mobile business includes "edgy" sports videos (lots of skateboarding and skiboarding) under Sprint's sports category as well as selling wallpaper for cellular phones. Fox also provides a live 24-hour feed for Fox News as well as many individual Fox Sports videos
Mobile experience
I don't make a habit of posting mobile TV jobs -- although perhaps I should sell space on my weblog for employment ads! -- but I'm just highlighting how mainstream broadcasters are increasingly seeking candidates with mobile experience.
Also, broadcast engineers with mobile experience seem to be in demand.
