Stepping into a new role...

I recently stepped into the series producer role on the series Nightmare Next Door...putting together another new order of episodes for Discovery ID.

ID Series Steals Network Ratings Record

Investigative Discovery's new docu-series Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets is the latest show to set a viewership record for the surging basic cable network.

The series, which tells stories of murder cases from the perspective of the victim, beat out the 936,000 viewers generated by Sunday's (Jan. 9) season premiere of news magazine show On The Case With Paula Zahn. Previous to that, the record was held by ID's Nightmare Next Door, which drew 778,000 viewers last Thursday (Jan. 6), said network officials.

Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets also set network records in household ratings (1.61 rating), adults 25-54 (701,000) and women 25-54 (463,000).

Investigative Discovery posted the biggest year-to-year primetime audience increase among all basic cable networks in 2010, boosting its prime time audience by 65% to 369,000 viewers, according to Nielsen.

Update

I just finished another series treatment for Dancing Skeleton Productions. In November I will move back to regular old producing for another show at another production company. More information to come!

Who The (Bleep) Did I Marry? Scores Big

It didn't feel like a winner when I was working on it as a producer, but you never know what's going to strike a chord with viewers these days! Who the Bleep Did I Marry? is the biggest premiere in the history of Discovery ID.

Big and Small

After wrapping up a big project I am focusing on a much smaller one. But you know what? Sometimes smaller is better. More details to come later.
