"We have a bold vision at BYU Broadcasting to create world-class, universal entertainment that young people and their parents actually want to sit down and watch together, and I'm incredibly proud of all that we've accomplished," said Michael Dunn, departing managing director of BYU Broadcasting. "I often refer to BYUB as 'the little engine that could,' persistently steaming up abandoned hilltops, such as capturing a co-viewing family audience, and Jeff Simpson is the perfect conductor to lead BYUB up the next mountain and into the future."
