There’s a certain passion you’ll see working with us whether the project is a simple one camera shoot or the Super Bowl.
19) Travel across the country: Kaufman Broadcast gets jobs from sunny San Diego to South Palm Beach and everywhere in between. Our engineers are the real winners as they get to experience all aspects of Americana on their adventures. Mike Witzel is personally a fan of hitting up every diner, drive-in and dive in sight.
The Kaufman crew explored downtown San Diego during a break from the 2014 MLB Winter Meetings. This was the best shot they got.
18) Tools. Tools everywhere: Kaufman Broadcast gives its engineers the resources to create any broadcast solution necessary. That’s why we have enough tools at our warehouse to be mistaken for a Jersey Shore convention. Just know our engineers are more than equipped to meet clients’ needs.
17) We are pioneers of the industry: Kaufman Broadcast strives to go where few others have gone before. We started utilizing fiber in the 1990s when it was far from commonplace and our engineers create one-of-a-kind solutions for our clients. They don’t call Missouri the Show Me State for nothing.
16) We are people pleasers: It warms the wiring in our hearts having employees that are enthusiastic about coming in each day. This mantra is also evident in our attitude towards customer service: the customer comes first. That’s why we are open 24/7/365.

14) Diamonds are forever: Kaufman Broadcast works closely with the St. Louis Cardinals, in particular, overseeing transmissions for events and games at Busch Stadium. That’s a relationship forged through time and results. So when the Cardinals earn hardware, Bill, deemed by his peers as “The Hardest Working Man in Broadcast” gets the same finger bling.
13) Work with people across the world: Sometimes stories demand global attention. In 2014, we worked with networks in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom to cover events following the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson. This international reach reinforces the impact the broadcast industry can have.
