The history of Kaufman Broadcast goes back to 1982, when Bill Kaufman showed up in his aunt’s driveway with a second hand satellite dish and an entrepreneurial spirit. Over the past four decades, the company has grown from a small, family-run business into a nationally-known, trusted organization that provides the highest quality services for clients all over the world.
Bill has been involved in every aspect of the industry. It’s not uncommon to see Bill running one of the satellite trucks to holding the boom mike at a press conference – Bill is always ready to do whatever is needed.
During baseball season, you’ll find Bill at Busch Stadium where Kaufman manages broadcast services for the St. Louis Cardinals. Bill even sports 2006 and 2011 World Series rings, a recognition from the Cardinals of his tireless work for the organization.
Despite his busy schedule, Bill has been on the Board of Directors of the Gateway Festival Orchestra, University City Children’s Center and BSKI Synagogue. Bill has donated his time and experience to not-for-profit organizations such as the Greater St. Louis Book Fair, Heat Up St. Louis. and is a donor to many arts organizations.
One of Bill’s ongoing pet projects is the care of the historic searchlight atop the University City City Hall. The searchlight is over 120 years old, and Bill has been its sole operator and caretaker for the past 50 years.
