MyPrimeTime Inc. and Nightly Business Report are co-producing Great Entrepreneurs, a nationally
distributed Public Television series that pairs the innovative movers of yesterday with the
greatest entrepreneurs of today.
Making its debut in January 2001, this series sets the achievements of groundbreaking innovators
such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Walt Disney and Coco Chanel against modern-day moguls such
as Bill Gates, George Lucas, Richard Branson and Martha Stewart. Each show profiles two
entrepreneurs, one modern day and one from the past. A panel of experts then discusses the
featured personalities in a round-table discussion hosted by Linda O'Bryon of Nightly Business
Report and Donald Van de Mark of MyPrimeTime, Inc.
Already over 120 PBS stations plan to air the weekly half hour series. Before the first
show aired, stations committing to the show hit a record 45% of the PBS households. This
includes five of the top 10 markets and 10 of the top 20 markets such as:
- Los Angeles
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Detroit
- Pittsburgh
- Sacramento
- Minneapolis
- Seattle
- Tampa
- New York
- San Francisco
