Oh man the History Channel is getting on my nerves today. There's a show on there now that has spent an hour speculating that there's a black hole in the Bermuda Triangle.
First they get duped by a guy with a magic magnetometer on his boat, and now they've got the global warming guys talking about it. They added in the Panspermia guy. This is really slimy.
The producers are David Pavoni and Jon Alon Watz.
Dig this:
Over the past eight years, Jon Alon Walz has been involved in the creation, development, scheduling and production of over 100 hours of prime time broadcast television and theatrical motion pictures, including projects for NBC, CBS, ABC, UPN, Fine Living Network, and the Discovery Networks.
Jon's current project as executive producer & writer is "Cocktails with Tony Abou-Ganim" for the Fine Living Network.
In 2003 Jon managed production and post on almost a dozen hours of thoughtful reality and documentary programming for the various Discovery Networks including TLC, Travel Channel, and Discovery Health including the highly rated series Mostly True Stories, as well as numerous specials such as Reno & Mardi Gras Cops, Vegas Whales, and Multiples. In 2004 Jon partnered with writer/producer Sean O'Malley in the Walz/O'Malley Company -- an independent production entity that focuses on the production of reality programming for television.
In a recent prior post as Executive in Charge of Development & Production at the United Paramount Network, Jon was responsible for the development and completion of over 30 two-hour films for television and over $100 million in production financing. Working closely with such renowned and respected production partners as Paramount Network Television, Viacom Productions, and Paramount International Television productions were based all over the world, including Australia, Canada, Luxembourg, Mexico, and various locations within the US including San Diego, Houston, and all over Los Angeles.
The network's movie franchise spawned several television pilots including "Chameleon" and "Max Knight: Ultra Spy" and set the network TV standard for efficient production management and wise use of modest resources.
Prior to the United Paramount Network, Jon spent three years at Spelling Television in a similar capacity as a creative/production executive for renowned producer Aaron Spelling. He helped develop two major mini-series: Dominick Dunne's "A Season in Purgatory" starring Brian Dennehy, Sherilyn Fenn, Blair Brown, Patrick Dempsey, Craig Sheffer, and Bonnie Bedelia, and "The Invaders," as well as several movies and pilots, including "Malibu Shores," an NBC drama pilot and series that introduced Katie Wright, Keri Russell, and Charisma Carpenter.
