  • “Brinx.TV Plus:” A weekly sports variety show.

Lynnwood Bibbens, chief executive officer of ReachTV, said his network’s looking forward to working with Brenkus. 

 “John Brenkus is a unicorn who brings this all together in a fiercely engaging way,” he said.

In a statement, Brenkus said Brinx.TV shows are a good fit for millions of travelers on the move in airports and hotels. 

“ReachTV’s innovative fixed screen platform has one of the best CPM values in the world, with guaranteed daily impressions nationwide that better serves our advertisers,” he said.
