Who is Cheryl Furjanic?

Thanks for asking!

I’m a media maker and lover of all things television.

I’m here to help broadcast television producers build and maintain committed TV audiences using LTR-TV.

As I kid I was a walking TV Guide – I always knew what shows were on what channel at what time…even if I didn’t watch them.  I even had a favorite network as a kid (NBC, in case you were wondering).

As a trained as a filmmaker, I have over a decade’s worth of experience in the independent film community as a director and producer.  My firsthand experience in creating strategic communities during film production, marketing and distribution has laid the groundwork for much of my work on LTR-TV.  These days I continue to make films, teach filmmaking, and research television and new media.

I received my BFA in Film & Television Production from NYU’s Department of Film & TV and my Masters degree in Interactive Telecommunications from ITP at NYU.  My research at ITP focused on television, fan engagement, fan communities, and new ways of telling TV stories.   I am now finishing up post-graduate coursework at NYU-SCPS and, in February 2010, will earn my Certificate in Nielsen Audience Measurement.  As a part of this course of study I am a sometime intern at Syfy Digital.

I’m a proud subscriber of both Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide.

Oh, and did I mention I love television?

Now, who wants to talk LTR-TV?
