‏Jim Romanovich‏

Jim Romanovich is a veteran radio broadcaster, television host and accomplished producer. Since 1986, he has dedicated his life to revising our antiquated pop culture views into a relevance today we understand and not only appreciate, but truly enjoy. Jim's professional life began at a Chicago music radio station where he quickly adapted his show to focus on several produced features to give added value to his shows that his competitors weren't yet doing. He believed that the standard disc jockey babble of the 80s turned listeners off as it was just noise from a person who had nothing to offer. Besides, he felt people could get just music anywhere. He wanted listeners to have an experience as well as be entertained. So, he implemented "behind the song" features offering his listeners some interesting background about the artists, bands, and songs. So the next time that song was heard, it would have a different connection for them. From there, he started doing hour long specials that were the audio precursor to MTV's Behind The Music.

By 1990, he made the move to Los Angeles to take this skill and bring it to television. Citing Dick Clark and Michael Landon as influences, he knew the only way he was going to get on television was if he sold and produced his own programming. His first series, Mysteries, Magic & Miracles debuted on the new Sci-Fi Channel in 1994 and quickly topped the ratings for the network for four seasons. Avengers star Patrick Macnee hosted while Jim served as producer and co-host.

From there the flood gates opened as Jim continued to produce network television shows with some of the greatest pop culture icons of all time on several new specials as series. Cesar Romero, Barbara Eden, Mel Torme, Jerry Mathers, Robert Stack, Erik Estrada, Jonathan Frakes, William Shatner, and many others. He often hosted many of these series and specials for television and continues to voice many documentaries. He also continues to produce for television as well as the emerging new media.
