Televisionation: Friday Fireside features Rick Howe, The iTV Doctor, in conversation with prominent figures from the advanced-TV/video industry. This weekâs Friday Fireside is a special treat! Industry vet, Dan Sweeney, in addition to his work with Strategic Labs Advisory Consultants, is just having WAAAY too much fun with âDan Sweeneyâs One Hit Wonders,â the only weekly radio show that showcases the forgotten âone and doneâ USA Top 40 hits. Danâs timing is auspicious, with the pandemic-driven increase in all local media, coupled with the production difficulties of work-at-home for radio personalities. Dan will tell us how he followed his passion to create a popular entertainment form, and how he is looking to expand his reach. Dan was previously at Showtime Networks (during the good doctor's tenure there), as well as at Continental Cablevision, Prevue Networks, TVguide/Rovi, Buzztime, Solekai and more.
