“Gigi has worked for more than 30 years to defend and preserve competition and innovation policies that have made broadband internet access more ubiquitous, competitive and affordable across the country,” said David Goodfriend, founder and chairman of Locast. “Her enormous experience and knowledge of broadband policies will help guide Locast as we pursue our nonprofit mission to deliver local TV channels via the Internet to reach more consumers.”
“I’m honored to join the Locast board,” said Sohn. “I’m inspired by small nonprofits like Locast overcoming enormous challenges to give consumers greater choice in how they watch their local TV channels.”
Locast is available in 17 US cities across the country, reaching 41 million viewers to offer local news, weather, emergency information, sports, and entertainment. While donations are encouraged, Locast is a free service offered via the Locast app and on locast.org.
