After serving over 15 years as manager of Compass Media Networks' play-by-play sports platform, as well as West Coast entertainment production, Michelle Salvatore resigns from the company to pursue an opportunity outside of media. Salvatore will continue to work for Compass Media Networks through the Spring, advising the company on a transition plan.

"Back in Spring of 2009, during the chaos and sleepless nights involved in launching this national media company, the media gods sent me an angel in the form of Michelle Salvatore," said Compass Media Networks CEO/Founder Peter Kosann. "Michelle faced down every challenge, worked tirelessly and with good cheer, and set a gold standard of excellence for not only Compass Media Networks, but our industry."

Under Salvatore, Compass Media Networks has broadcast well-over 1,500 live, play-by-play, major sporting events involving college men's basketball and football (including the Big Ten Tournament and the Big Ten Championship Game), NFL 1pm and 4pm Sunday Doubleheaders, Major League Baseball regular season games, and complete coverage of the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders.

In addition, Salvatore assembled a team of professionals, including Tyler Brewer and Chris Klieber (managers of game day production for Compass Media Networks), a production and engineering team and most notably a cast of play-by-play announcers, studio hosts, and game analysts.

"Working at Compass Media Networks literally changed my life for the better," said Salvatore. "I was able to travel the globe, producing games throughout the United States, Latin America and Europe, and had the chance to work with incredibly talented, passionate, and kind people. I am forever grateful to my dear friends at Compass Media Networks."

Kosann added, "We love and will miss Michelle dearly. Our goal is to build upon the greatness she created as we move ahead into the next chapter of our evolution."
