Televisionation—Talk Back to Television: Yosef Birnboim, Chief Product Officer of ComFANion

August 19, 2026

Talk Back to Television welcomes Yosef Birnboim, Chief Product Officer of ComFANion (pronounced “companion” with “fan”). We all remember (and in some cases blame…) Yosef as Director of Product Management for Verizon’s Video Ecosystem, including Fios TV. Yes, he was part of the team that developed the Fios TV set-top box that virtually nobody liked—including Verizon. But freed of the shackles of corporate America, Yosef has developed a brandable (or white labelable) platform that takes sports fans DIRECTLY to the service or platform that is carrying the game they want to see NOW! “Where are the Orioles? They are on Peacock today at 12:30pm. One click. Done.”
