RYE, NEW YORK \u2013 FEBRUARY 15, 2024<\/strong> After serving over 15 years as the architect, leader, and manager of Compass Media Networks\u2019 play-by-play sports platform as well as West Coast entertainment production, Michelle Salvatore has resigned from the Company to pursue an entrepreneurial opportunity outside of media. Michelle will continue to work for Compass Media Networks through the Spring, shall advise the Company on a transition plan, and more importantly shall remain forever more a friend to her beloved colleagues at Compass Media Networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in Spring of 2009, during the chaos and sleepless nights involved in launching this national media company, the media gods sent me an angel in the form of Michelle Salvatore,\u201d said Peter Kosann, CEO\/Founder of Compass Media Networks. \u201cMichelle faced down every challenge, worked tirelessly and with good cheer, and set a gold standard of excellence for not only Compass Media Networks, but our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under Michelle\u2019s guidance, Compass Media Networks has broadcast well-over 1,500 live, play-by-play, major sporting events involving college men\u2019s basketball and football (including the Big Ten Tournament and the Big Ten Championship Game), NFL 1pm and 4pm Sunday Doubleheaders, Major League Baseball regular season games, and complete coverage of the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders. In addition, Michelle assembled a talented team of professionals, including Tyler Brewer and Chris Klieber (managers of game day production for Compass Media Networks), a world class production and engineering team and most notably a star-studded cast of play-by-play announcers, studio hosts, and game analysts \u2013 many of whom are now featured guests, contributors, and\/or hosts of nationally acclaimed broadcasts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMichelle has been one of the most important people in my career,\u201d said Kevin Burkhardt, lead play-by-play voice for FOX Sports. \u201cShe believed in me from the start, and gave me opportunities to call college football and Dallas Cowboys games for Compass Media Networks. She produced me and made me better, and I would not be where I am today without her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking at Compass Media Networks literally changed my life for the better,\u201d said Salvatore.\u00a0 \u201cI was able to travel the globe, producing games throughout the United States, Latin America and Europe, and had the chance to work with incredibly talented, passionate, and kind people.\u00a0 I am forever grateful to my dear friends at Compass Media Networks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Peter Kosann, \u201cWe love and will miss Michelle dearly.\u00a0 Our goal is to build upon the greatness she created as we move ahead into the next chapter of our evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
