In 1999 Lu Ann Reeb and Scott Hess from CBS Boston (WBZ-TV) had a vision for providing their talents and resources to the burgeoning marketplace for video on the internet. They knew that content would be important, if Corporate America expected to attract and retain viewers of their programs on the internet. Who better to produce television class video than broadcast television professionals?

Skyways Videographers, Engineers, Editors, and Technicians are all Broadcast Professionals who meet the Skyways high standard of quality expected in our Broadcast and Corporate projects.

Co-Founder Lu Ann Reeb is an an Emmy winning Executive Producer, who worked in Television News for more than 20 years. She was the Executive Producer at WBZ-TV/CBS Boston before starting Skyways Communications in 1999. As a TV journalist, she has covered news stories and events including Presidential elections, major national court cases, jetliner crashes, natural disasters, the Boston Marathon, and John Glenn’s second historic launch into space. She brings experience creating high quality video content for Internet delivery such as streaming video, Webcasting, and Podcasting. Skyways Communications developed and launched LegalTalkNetwork in 2005, creating a Podcast network in classic talk-show style, targeting an audience in the legal community. A variety of corporate clients turn to Skyways to develop custom rich media content paired with the best technology delivery. As Lu says, "There are two pieces of the communications puzzle today: Content and Delivery. For us, it is all about creating the best content and hitting a target audience with the best-suited technology - that's what makes what we do really work. Technology will continually change - get better, faster, more convenient, but if you don't have the best content delivered to the right audience, it really doesn't matter how it is delivered. We design a strategy for each client.” Lu has been a speaker on Webcasting content at the Streaming Media East conference in New York and other industry conferences. She is completing her MBA at Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University in Boston. She lives in metro Boston raising two sons. Lu is also a private pilot, who flies antique classic airplanes for recreation in her spare time and writes articles on occasion for the Atlantic Flyer.
