What does a 40-plus-year career in media engineering reveal about where the industry has been—and where it is headed next?

In this conversation, Mike Strein, Director of Engineering and Technology for ABC News, joins Zach Toback, former Disney media leader and now Vice President of Business Development at Diversified, for a look back at the major inflection points that have reshaped broadcast and media operations over the past three decades.

From analog to digital, SD to HD, and SDI to IP, Mike has helped lead some of the most important technical shifts in broadcast history. As one of the top patent holders across The Walt Disney Company, including groundbreaking work on Project Galaxy, Mike has played a central role in turning emerging ideas into operational reality.

Together, Mike and Zach will reflect on the evolution of the industry, the innovation behind major transformation efforts, lessons learned from landmark projects, and what today’s media leaders should be preparing for next.
