Get After It Media Names David Gray CTO & Engineering VP

Get After It Media (GAIM), the owner of Retro TV, The Heartland Network, The Action Channel, The Family Channel and Rev’n, today appointed David Gray as chief technology officer & vice president of engineering.

In this expanded executive role, Gray will lead all technology and engineering strategy across GAIM’s national portfolio — driving infrastructure innovation, optimizing technical operations and future-proofing broadcast systems that serve more than 88 million U.S. households.

A broadcast veteran with over four decades of engineering leadership, Gray is known for building resilient, IT-forward systems and scalable media workflows. Most recently, he served as VP-director of engineering at Meruelo Media, where he helped create the LA Super Cluster — a convergence of TV, radio and production infrastructure anchored by state-of-the-art soundstages and transmission hubs across Southern California.

“David’s skill, clarity of purpose, vision, and deep understanding of where industry tech is headed is refreshing, exciting, and near clairvoyant,” said Joel Wertman, GAIM co-president and CEO. “He’s wired for speed, innovation and precision — and we’re getting after it with him leading the charge.”

Otto Padrón, GAIM co-president and COO, added: “I’ve had the honor of building big things with David for more than a decade. He’s delivered systems that scale, solutions that endure, and results that speak for themselves. David is a rock in turbulent times — and a true force for innovation. With him on our team, we are futurizing GAIM 2.0.”
Gray will be based in Los Angeles and report directly to Otto Padrón. He can be reached at dgray@luken.tv.
