ANNOUNCEMENTS & EVENTS



We recently lost one of our founding members and two-time president of Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters, Jeanne De Vivier Brown. Our organization began in 1966 and Jeanne was there at the beginning. She was instrumental in its success - she booked the luncheon honorees until she retired. [ Obituary ]

We hope you will join us to celebrate her life, a chance to get together with friends and family to remember a woman who was such a big part of PPB. Please RSVP to attend with your name and number of guests.

Refreshments will be served - valet parking $13.00




On September 7th, HMP hosted the latest in a long series of Coffee With events - this one featured JEFF WALD, former news director at KTLA-TV for 19 years and news director at KCOP-TV for 7 years. Jeff's career in news spans 38 years, he's received 13 Emmys. He told many stories about the important news events and people in LA since the 1970's. The discussion was entitled BREAKING NEWS, "BROKEN NEWS" - Journalism or Artificial Intelligence? and was hosted and produced by former PPB President CHUCK STREET.

On Saturday, June 22nd, we saluted ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT - HOW IT BEGAN! Produced by CHUCK STREET and hosted by JOHN E. GOLDHAMMER, former Paramount TV exec in charge of ET creation.
