Tammy Roebuck brings decades of broadcast and production expertise to JRP Media through her company Bean Productions and Magic Bean Entertainment, demonstrating her versatility in both commercial and narrative filmmaking. Her innovative approach to programming, combined with her operational expertise and collaborative spirit, makes her an essential partner for JRP Media's continued growth and success in today's evolving media landscape.
At a young age, Tammy has accumulated a resume of impressive experience that seasoned industry professionals admire. When she was a teenager with dreams of sports broadcasting, she boldly reached out to legendary Tampa TV anchor Gayle Sierens, who became the first woman to serve play-by-play for an NFL game. That initiative led to her first broadcast internship and set the tone for a career defined by breaking barriers and making television history.
At just 19, Tammy became part of broadcasting history as producer and director of the ACE Award-winning "QZOO Tube" – the first "radio with pictures" program in the United States. This groundbreaking show, now featured in the Broadcast Hall of Fame, paved the way for shows like Howard Stern and Imus in the Morning to appear on television. Her producing partner during this era was a young Jimmy Kimmel, showcasing her eye for recognizing talent early.
Tammy's entrepreneurial vision emerged early when she became the first cable access channel manager in the United States to transform her station into a profit-making venture. She spearheaded innovative programming like broadcasting high school football games and developed hundreds of 30-minute television shows during the infomercial boom. Her success in creating new revenue streams and securing exclusive contracts directly led to the creation of Bright House Sports Network.
Her leadership abilities shined when she managed Hillsborough Television (HTV22), overseeing 24 staff members and a multi-million-dollar budget. Under her guidance, the station tripled its programming output and earned recognition as the nation's Best Government Television Station in 2004 – a testament to her ability to elevate any production to excellence.
Through her collaboration with JRP Media, Tammy brings not only her extensive technical knowledge and budget management experience, but also her proven ability to streamline production processes while maintaining the highest quality standards. Her recent feature films "Getting Grace" and "Lucky Louie" showcase her versatility across different content formats, while her work with major clients like the Florida Department of Transportation and ABC affiliates demonstrates her reliability and professional excellence. Tammy's combination of creative vision, operational expertise, and collaborative approach makes every partnership with JRP Media a recipe for success.
Tammy and her husband actor Danny Roebuck reside both in Tampa, Florida and Burbank, California.
