Larry Savala III has more than twenty years in television, and has led engineering and technical operations at LA36 (LA Channel 36) since 2007 — nearly two decades keeping community programming on the air at Los Angeles’ nonprofit public access organization, whose mission is community building and learning through quality local programming.

His work covers the full broadcast chain: studio and control-room systems, editing and post-production, playout and distribution, and the coordination of the crews who run them. He came up through media operations on both sides of the industry, including technical support at Xytech Systems in Burbank, the broadcast and media workflow company, and is credited as producer on The Huntington Park Holiday Parade telecast.

On “At The Park” he brings that infrastructure knowledge and his strength in building and leading teams — making sure studio shoots, remote days and live events actually reach an audience.
