James Williams

For almost 40 years I have been involved in the media on either a network or major market basis. I am a seven time Emmy Award winning television producer, director, writer and broadcast executive. On the sports side I have served as the senior producer of the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 football and basketball game of the week. I have produced or directed over 3,000 live events including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, as well as all major college sports. I also directed major concerts including The Police, Queen, Phil Collins and Billy Joel to name a few. My work has been seen on ESPN, USA, FOX Sports and other national and regional networks. On the news side I have served as the Executive Producer and anchor for WTOG TV News, Tampa-St. Petersburg and WOIO TV Cleveland, Ohio. I was in charge of all coverage for Prodigy Online in Washington, D.C. I covered both the White House and Congress. I was part of the management team that developed the start up of four regional sports and news networks. My love of both news and sports gives me great freedom to work in both areas without any problems. It also has given me a chance to build up one of the most extensive contact bases in the broadcasting business.
