ABOUT LAURA

 

Here’s The Story…

Influenced by my parents who watched television all the time, I became one of those kids who watched television all the time, especially The Brady Bunch.

I would read “TV Guide” from cover to cover when it arrived every Thursday and looked forward to the new television season every September.  In Junior High, I was called “The Human TV Guide.”

In High School, I loved a Journalism class that was taught by Mrs. Bedein.  Mrs. Bedein took our class on field trips to the former WWDB 96.5-FM and WCAU-TV for a taping of “The Jane Whitney Show.”

We were also treated to guest speakers such as WYSP disc jockey Randy Kotz. 

The first television review I wrote was for the Sarah Jessica Parker show, “Square Pegs.”

At Temple University I was a sportscaster for the campus radio station, WRTI 90.1-FM.  The highlight of my time there was when I was the game analyst for the Temple Owls Mens Basketball team.

After Temple, I worked as a production assistant for WPHL-17 telecasts of Sixers games.

I entered the 9-5 world as copywriter for the now defunct Donnelley Directory Talking Yellow Pages.   I wrote and recorded many of the entertainment codes including Prime Time and Cable Picks.

When Talking Yellow Pages went bust, I designed web sites for the Internet Yellow Pages.

I began my own web site design business in 2000.

That same year, I started my media column in the Bucks County Courier Times.  It was spun-off into a sports-media column the following year.

In 2007, I launched lauranachman.net.

Over the years, I’ve appeared on CN8, 6ABC, A&E, NBC10, WBCB, WPHT, WIP, WDEL, and WILM.

Here’s what you are saying about lauranachman.net:

“How is it that Laura Nachman finds out the scoop before everyone else!?!  She continues to amaze me! Great site, Laura.”

“Laura’s as plugged into what’s happening in Philadelphia television and radio as you can get.”

“I look forward to always reading Laura’s updates. Her humorously sarcastic and timely comments always add up to what’s actually  going on in the media world. She keeps it REAL.”

“Like most people in television news, I read Laura’s website every day.  She has good sources, in fact, other reporters have attributed their stories to her.”

“No matter where I am, I try to keep up with the big media news in Philadelphia by clicking on Lauranachman.net just about every day.  But I don’t only read it for the buzz. I also read it because Laura always manages to slip in a laugh or two along the way.  Fun site!”

“Laura Nachman’s web site is a “must read” for anyone involved in – or interested in – local media.  Whatever is happening in Philadelphia TV and radio, Laura has it first.”

“Laura Nachman is wired into every newsroom in town.  If it’s happening, she knows about it first. Her website is a must read for anyone who needs to know what’s happening in the television industry.”
