Wisconsin’s ‘80s Television Pioneer Douglas Heim Set to Showcase Story Collection Sharing the Lesser Known History of Green Bay’s Late-Night Shows
Most people today seem to think of American television as a single monolith of world-famous faces, mainstream blockbuster series, and branded news networks. Yet, according to former late-night television jockey Doug Heim, there are far more hidden gems in the many local networks, including the one in his home turf of Green Bay, Wisconsin. That is why he has decided to talk more about this hidden history of media 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.
To many in the outside world, the history of American television can be summed up in all the well-known blockbuster series, iconic superstars, and the pantheon of branded news networks.
But for Douglas “Doug” R. Heim, a former late-night television jockey from Green Bay, Wisconsin, this hardly scratches the surface. The truth is that there are still many hidden gems on the local networks, and these have made for some unbelievable stories that he is compelled to share.
It is for that reason that he has published those stories along with his own bio in a book titled My Reality TV Show. The book shares the highs and lows of his life on air. But along the way, he talks about some highly memorable moments that are still recalled by other long-time Green Bay residents when he was the jockey of the 80s show T.J. and the A.N.T.
The show was unlike any other at the time, as it was run by Wisconsin’s first all-night TV station. The book also talks about Heim’s stint at running one of the earliest mobile D.J. service and his own hand at running a video production company.
For anyone interested in the lesser-known side of American media history, Heim’s bio offers plenty of accounts that shed more light on Green Bay’s media landscape. The book is just one part of his larger preservation project that shows there was a lot of fun stuff back in the day, outside of what was showcased by big mainstream networks.
My Reality TV Show by Douglas R. Heim is available on Amazon.
