Music Biz – Roc Nation Announces Television Division
According to Billboard, the new television division of Roc Nation will be headed up by Patrick Reardon, who has 15 years of experience in the industry, and formerly worked as the co-head of television for the Weinstein Company before Harvey Weinstein’s infamous sex scandals drove the company into the toilet. While he was there, he started the popular Project: Runway reality series and worked on several documentaries with Jay Z in the past, Time: The Kalief Browder Story, and Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, the former of which recently won a Peabody award.
“Roc Nation is such an influential and dynamic company, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them as they expand their brand into television,” said Reardon, in a statement.
