Michael Minkoff has been in television since 1980 and combining his technical skills with his creative ability he has become well honored and respected member of the broadcast community.

While at GM he directed and technical directed the majority of their live teleconferences and press conferences. These included major announcements and had worldwide audiences. Michael also began his close relationship with TV equipment manufacturers. He was able to make GM a beta site for Grass Valley group editing software.

He arrived in Atlanta two months before the games to help setup, configure and test each bay as well as edit pre-production material. Once the other editors arrived, he assisted in training them and once the games started, oversaw the "hot venue of the day".
