Broadcast Partners Announce Conrad Clemson as Chief Executive Officer of EdgeBeam Wireless

EdgeBeam Wireless, LLC, the joint venture launched by The E.W. Scripps Company, Gray Media, Nexstar Media Group, Inc., and Sinclair, Inc., is pleased to announce the appointment of Conrad Clemson as its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

EdgeBeam was created to deliver robust, high-performance wireless data services to a wide range of industries by leveraging broadcasters’ uniquely efficient infrastructure and the transformative power of the ATSC 3.0 standard. As CEO, Clemson will lead the build-out of EdgeBeam’s platform and operations, fulfilling the founders’ shared vision for nationwide, next-generation data delivery.

Clemson brings decades of leadership experience in broadcast, media, telecommunications, and technology innovation. Most recently, he served as CEO of EditShare, where he successfully scaled the company from a founder-led business into a high-growth, enterprise-grade platform. Under his leadership, EditShare built a world-class executive team, made significant R&D investments, and drove measurable performance gains. Earlier in his career, Clemson was the founder and CEO of BNI Video, a pioneer in service management platforms for pay TV, later acquired by Cisco, where he held senior leadership roles. Throughout his tenure in the industry, Clemson has demonstrated a consistent track record of building high-performing teams, implementing transformational strategies, and delivering strong revenue and operational outcomes.

“I'm honored to join EdgeBeam at this pivotal moment,” said Conrad Clemson, CEO of EdgeBeam. “With the collective support and scale of our founding partners—Scripps, Gray, Nexstar, and Sinclair—we have a unique opportunity to redefine wireless delivery for enterprises through the power of ATSC 3.0 and IP-based infrastructure.”

The founding partners also expressed their confidence in Clemson’s leadership and the future of EdgeBeam, stating:

“ATSC 3.0 data services open new pathways to reach emerging endpoints—from vehicles to mobile devices. This effort requires entrepreneurial leadership and bold thinking, and we are confident Conrad brings both.”
