Episode 149-Howie Zales on the Power of Live Streaming-Building My Legacy with Lois Sonstegard, PHD

Welcome to Episode 149 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, we talk with Emmy-Award winning camera operator Howie Zales who turned his passion for television broadcasting into several entrepreneurial efforts. His current company, Viridity Entertainment Services, initially focused on staffing in non-union markets, but, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, pivoted to offer broadcast-quality live streaming.

Howie shares with us his entrepreneurial journey, including what he learned as being part of sports history at several Olympic Games. He also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at live streaming, recent changes in this industry and what he sees for the future.

So if you want to know:

The lead time for a live streaming project — from beginning to execution
What’s happening with jobs in sports television streaming

About Howie Zales

Howie Zales fell in love with television sports after taking a TV production class in the eleventh grade. His career included working with NBC Sports, the XFL and World Wrestling Entertainment. In 2000, Howie created HJZ Productions, Inc. to address the need for professional-level sports crewing/staffing in the New York market. In 2019, Howie and his team founded Viridity Entertainment Services, Inc., which today offers best-in-class, broadcast-quality livestreams of professional sports shows and interviews, corporate interviews and meetings and religious services. As a way to give back to the industry, Howie developed the TV Sports Course, a hands-on training boot camp for the next generation of television crew professionals.
