June 21, 2020
ITVT/TVOT is pleased to present another episode of “Televisionation,” our new video/audio podcast exploring the advanced/interactive-TV industry in the Coronavirus/Covid-19 Era. This episode features long-time TVOT attendee and TV-industry veteran, Curtis Barone, VP of Advanced TV at Movio, recounting his experience of being the first person in Oklahoma to test positive for Covid-19, as well as the travails he and his family endured as a result. He has since been able to help in the struggle against the virus by donating plasma for experimental treatments. Barone also discusses his work at movie-marketing company, Movio, where he develops and maintains relationships with OTT services, MVPD’s and other TV-industry players; and gives us a tour of his extensive beer can collection!
