Broadcast / Production / Consulting Services

Our private consulting business has been servicing production facilities, broadcasters, web entities and producers since 1992. Past jobs have included Vice President of two cable networks - QVC's Q2 network and CSN, The Caribbean Satellite Network and more than a decade with MTV-Music Television (81-92, when it didn't suck).

Despite my years as a private consultant and in the corporate suite, it's my very first job out of college that people find most interesting; the launch of MTV-Music Television. I joined a company called WASEC (Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment Company) in July of 1981. We would launch MTV on August 1, 1981. I joined the launch crew as a Technical Director/Tape Op and was made a Crew Chief for the all-important prime-time shift right after the launch. During MTV's formative years, I was T.D. for 3-4 hours, 5 nights a week. You might say we know just a LITTLE about music videos. The rest is history.

During the MTV years that followed, my daily responsibilities included managing on-air operations for the VIACOM television networks group, including MTV, NICKELODEON, VH-1, NICK-AT-NITE, SHOWTIME, VIEWERS CHOICE and THE MOVIE CHANNEL.

I advised and provided training and for the senior executives of MTV's foreign francises including MTV Europe, MTV Brazil, MTV Australia, MTV Asia and MTV Latino.


The next great moment came in 1992 when I was responsible for the development and launch of the very first Caribbean television network, managing all programming, production, operations, and engineering. This cultural network rocked the world with music, news, sports and features about the Caribbean to audiences all over North and South America. Detailed information on this project is in my bio page on this website.
