“This is an exciting day for our company. As a group of guys who grew up as die-hard fans of the Jazz, we couldn’t be more excited to have them as our first long-term HD broadcast partner,” said Daren Wright, CEO of Pure.  “We were able to offer the Jazz a boutique, technologically powerful, customized broadcast facilities solution and were rewarded with a long-term commitment.”
