John Lujan Email & Phone Number

As a Senior Transmission Specialist at Walt Disney Entertainment and ESPN Technology, I oversee the technical operations center that processes thousands of receive and transmit work orders per year for various live shows and networks. I have a certification in Communicating with Diplomacy and Tact, which enables me to coordinate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, vendors, and engineers. With 20+ years of experience in the broadcast industry, I have developed strong skills in new media, video production, signal transmission, Video over IP, and digital video. I am proficient in using various equipment and software for broadcast, such as Mediakind, IRM, Versios, Selenios, Adtec, OVRT, BNC, and ME 7000. I am also responsible for ensuring the quality and compliance of all live feeds, as well as supporting disaster recovery scenarios for Disney/ABC/OTTO. I have served as the lead specialist for several large events including The NBA Finals, The Stanley Cup Finals, the NBA Draft, the NFL Draft, and The 2024 Oscars. Along with the day-to-day operations in the TOC I also oversee the department schedule. I'm tasked with making sure that the department is adequately staffed to sustain business requirements. This also includes approving vacation requests, filling open shifts, and assigning daily shift responsibilities. I am passionate about delivering personalized and engaging entertainment experiences to consumers around the world.
