Amos Oaks

J. Amos Oaks serves as executive and creative director of Knoxville Community Media in Knoxville, Tennessee, managing PEG access television operations, facility use, production staff, and the organizational systems that keep a community media center functioning as a public resource. His work covers the full scope of station leadership: keeping channels running, supporting producers, managing budgets, and maintaining the mission visibility that helps a community access center remain a recognizable civic institution rather than a forgotten franchise obligation.

Knoxville Community Media provides the Knoxville region with a public platform for local production, government programming, and community storytelling in a market where community television remains the primary alternative to commercial broadcasting.

Amos's leadership reflects what executive direction of a community media center actually requires: the combination of operational competence, creative vision, and civic commitment that keeps a local access operation useful to the people it was built to serve.
