Award-winning TV writer/producer Jon Casimir, the man behind the Gruen franchise has been appointed ABC-TV’s Head of Entertainment. He will take up his position at ABC TV in Sydney on April 8.
“We’re delighted that ABC TV can attract someone of Jon’s calibre to this position. He brings with him a wealth of entertainment creation and production experience, having already been responsible for some of the ABC TV’s most successful entertainment programs.” Richard Finlayson, ABC TV’s Director of Television commented.
Mr Casimir is currently an executive producer with Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder, working on the second season of Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery (ABC TV). At CJZ, he has played a key role in development projects currently in the ABC TV pipeline.
“Having spent the last decade in a de facto relationship with the ABC, I am glad we’ve finally made it to the altar. I’m joining a network that I love, a network with a commitment to quality, creativity and risk-taking, three ideas under siege in media these days. It’s probably trowelling it on to say this, but it’s a genuine honour to be asked to work for one of Australia’s greatest institutions.” Mr Casimir commented.
