Roy Fredriks’s Summary

I am experienced in all areas of production, including programming, talent and guest booking, show preparation, topic selection and research, and process improvement, working for some of New York’s largest markets. Now I would like to bring my expertise to work for you.

My previous roles include production, executive production, and consulting positions with both startup and established programs and stations in TV, radio, and Internet, including WNEW, CBS, Westwood One, WOR, and WABC. My accomplishments include:

• Evaluating morning program operations and strategies for WNEW-FM’s hit morning show.
• Overseeing a weekly live webcast for CBS.com, ‘Survivor Live with Richard Hatch.’
• Producing and directing the Joe Scarborough show for Westwood One Radio.
• Producing 2 highly successful shows for WOR Radio, ‘The Dolans’ and ‘The Bob Grant Program,’ both of which consistently delivered major ratings increases.
• Serving as program producer for several major programs at WABC Radio, including shows hosted by Bob Grant, Joy Behar, and Curtis Sliwa.
• Delivering the Number One afternoon drive program in New York, with a 7-share.

I’ve also served as a freelance talk radio host, interactive producer, program developer, talent booker, movie reviewer/critic, and business owner/manager. Over the course of my career, I’ve developed a strong reputation in my field and built a large network of professional relationships.

I am currently looking for work where my background would be a resource. I can be reached at talkradiopersonality@yahoo.com, or call me at 212-459-4705. Willing to relocate.
