Shane Sanford joined Ole Miss Sports Properties in 2007 as the Director of Internet Services and Graphic Design. Among his duties, he oversees the development and distribution of live and on-demand video and audio content for the Athletic Department’s official Website. Overseeing OleMissSports.com’s Web video product is a top priority. This past baseball season, Ole Miss was the first college in the nation to video stream in High Definition and offer that service to their subscribers.
Sanford began his career in Orlando, FL working for the American Gladiators and a short stint with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. From there, he moved back home to Mississippi and began work at WTVA, an NBC affiliate in Tupelo, MS where he became Technical Director for the 6pm news, Lead Graphic Designer, and Webmaster for the station’s Website. Sanford also joined the video production crew for Ole Miss Sports Properties on a freelance basis in 2002.
Television production and graphic design for television are two of Shane’s passions. Working on the video production crew at Ole Miss, Sanford has first hand knowledge of how to implement different aspects of television production into Ole Miss’s Web video product. Shane also directs all coaches’ shows for Ole Miss, as well as creates the accompanying graphics packages for those shows.
In 2004, Sanford earned an Emmy Nomination for his graphic design work on a local sports show, First Down on FOX, and has several Telly awards to his credit, most recently for his work on the DVD “One Heartbeat – A Chronicle of the 2008 Ole Miss Football Season.”
