Weiss, Kiser Promoted at Cooper Media

Broadcast digital network company Cooper Media said two of its executives have been promoted.

Brian Weiss was named VP of strategy and distribution. He had been director of distribution and business development of Justice Network since 2014.

John Kiser has become programming manager. He had been the programming and BeSafe Coordinator for Justice Network since 2014.

“Brian and John have consistently exceeded expectations supporting all of Justice Network’s initiatives from the very beginning,” said Cooper Media CEO Schiffman. “Both of these promotions are very well-deserved.”

In addition to Justice Network, Cooper Media will be launching Quest this year.

Jon has been business editor of Broadcasting+Cable since 2010. He focuses on revenue-generating activities, including advertising and distribution, as well as executive intrigue and merger and acquisition activity. Just about any story is fair game, if a dollar sign can make its way into the article. Before B+C, Jon covered the industry for TVWeek, Cable World, Electronic Media, Advertising Age and The New York Post. A native New Yorker, Jon is hiding in plain sight in the suburbs of Chicago.
