From YouTube to the Printed Word, Wisconsin’s Own Douglas R. Heim Becomes Published Author Showcasing the Lesser-Known Gems of 80s TV
The name Doug Heim evokes a lot of nostalgia among older residents of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Today, he is the founder of USA Dance Floor, LLC. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, he was the face of “T.J. and the A.N.T.,” the state’s very first all-night television broadcast. He has even gone as far as to preserve all the media from his days at the show, now presenting them on his own YouTube channel. On top of that, he shares even more about his life in his own bio, “My Reality TV Show.”
“What a fun nostalgic read. From TJ and the Ant and Barney’s Club House this book was a flashback to my youth. You also get an inside look at the life of Doug Heim with his successes and failures. He was a true maverick in his field. From his pirate radio station to being the first to market lighted dance floors he has done a lot. I couldn’t put this book down. Also, follow Doug on YouTube to see him in his All Nostalgic Television ANT. Thank you Doug!” - John P. Altman Jr
The history of American television is dominated by a lot of world-famous faces and names. However, not even these fully encapsulate the work of many other tireless individuals who also pioneered technologies and concepts at the state level.
Such was the life of Douglas “Doug” R. Heim. Today, he is known for being the founder of USA Dance Floor, LLC. But during the late 70s and throughout the 80s, he was the famous face of Wisconsin’s first ever all-night television broadcast: T.J. and the A.N.T.
Heim’s entire life has become a wealth of media history for the people of Green Bay, and his own collection of both his own late-night broadcasts and those of others really prove it. He has even gone as far as to preserve whatever he could salvage and load them up on his own YouTube channel for internet audiences in the 21st century.
Of course, that is not the only thing he has done to share this lesser-known history. He has also published a bio that tells a number of incredible, unbelievable stories about his life as one of Wisconsin’s media pioneers. Titled My Reality TV Show, the book is a nostalgic trip behind the scenes of the region’s late-night TV era and how a lot of it influenced the landscape today.
Douglas R. Heim is not afraid to share a lot more personal details either, as his own transformation was key to the rollercoaster ride that was his television career. Those who would like to learn more can simply order My Reality TV Show on Amazon.
