TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE CREATORS OF MY JAM TV.
My Jam TV is created by David S. Zucker and Russ Markowitz. David Zucker
possesses an expansive background in the business and entertainment
arenas. His impressive beginning consisted of serving as executive of a
second generation Coca-Cola franchise in New York City. His early days also
included a slice of the music industry, as he performed as a musician with 80’s
Rock bands and back-up in recording studios.
Gifted with a talent for comedy, Mr. Zucker has written for comedy sketch
shows, actor/comedian RODNEY DANGERFIELD and famous comedy clubs.
His creative skills afforded him ghostwriting opportunities for sitcoms and
wor king in major lm studios, as well as side-by-side with
screenwriter/novelist RAY BRADBURY.
For the new My Jam TV network, Mr. Zucker will oversee day to day
operations; which will include monitoring incoming music videos and
establishing deals with independent artists worldwide. He will constantly
seek new business to make the company protable while limiting costs, and
work cooperatively with advertising agencies to promote the network to a
global market.
Russ Markowitz initially started his career in the music industry both as a
musician and promoter. He later turned to multimedia production, where he
has been working for the last 25 years. He has worked in a technical
capacity in television, in both broadcast and cable; as well as radio, lm and
music for the past 3 decades--including his current position at WNBC which
he has held since 1991. For the last 10 years he has taken on the role of
Producer, creating programs in various genres including documentaries,
talk/variety, music videos, sports, news segments and “All Night with Joey
Reynolds”--a 2 hour nightly variety show which aired on WNBC’s digital
channel.
