News/Sports Anchor/Reporter & Multi-Emmy Earner--Top 20 ABC Affiliate
“It has been twenty-five great years with Media Alliance and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to Bill’s skills, my career reached heights I never thought possible.
More than merely an ‘agent’, Bill provides career guidance, critiques, and advice which has helped me to reach my FULL POTENTIAL as a Sports Director, Anchor
& Reporter. Best of all he’s helped me with a highly personalized touch. I feel less like a client and more like a member of a family.”

VP News--Independent News Station Doing 60+ Hours Weekly Coverage
I have known Bill since 1975, when we covered the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa at WXYZ . He has always been a fearless journalist, who accepted any
challenge and always demanded excellence for himself and those around him. Whether he was serving as an outlier late news producer, who virtually help
invent local news as we know it, or placing , bright new people into emerging networks , his good judgment and ethics never were in retreat. During the creation
of the underdog network, Court TV, he helped fuel its energy with on air pundits and behind the scene journalistic dynamos. Over these four decades, he has
never led me astray, forced a candidate, or struck a bad deal. And, from time to time, he even took on representing me, and always allowed me to demur , even
when presented with outstanding offers. He is old school , with an awareness of the new demands of our digital platforms. He is but old wine, in new bottles.
But , he is of fine vintage, and anyone who comes to him will find the association both satisfying and productive.
