When I found out about it, I couldn't get it out of my head. I started writing and shooting things, and, once they were ready to make the pilots and sales tape, I was very happy to produce it.

It's incredibly ambitious starting a television network and an in-house production company. I feel very busy, but, when I have a moment to step back and see the caliber and talent of people that have come together to do this, I feel so lucky. There's not a doubt in my mind that it's going to be successful.

That's almost unheard of for a network that's only been on-air for a few months. The bottom line is that we're getting good ratings, which means people are watching.

Our philosophy is that we're going to be part of our viewers' lifestyles. We are going to help them connect to all the options they have in the city, all the stuff that's there and accessible in real life. We decided to cover all the bases.

I think we all just appreciate that sense of home we can create for each other here.

It's so neat that our lives are intertwining from a long time ago. Among the people who all went to Palisades High School, our lives have continued to grow together, and we're all still working together.
