The most seasoned member of V Entertainment Group, Sidney Balkin has
been a key figure in American television since its inception in the
1940s. He was the General Manager of CBS affiliate KLEE-TV in Houston,
which under his control became the first profitable station in the
country.
Since 1950, Mr. Balkin has remained an instrumental force in film and
television, managing such clients as Sid Ceasar and Jan Murray, and
producing films like Golden Globe nominated "Sweet Hostage". He created
the concept of the national tie-in campaign with Yamaha for "Rosemary's
Baby" - thus starting national cross-promotions as we know them today.
Before joining with his current partners at V Entertainment Group, Sid
ran the TV divisions of Brut Productions, Dimension Pictures, and Four
Star TV. He has amassed an impressive repertoire of motion picture and
television projects while continuing to create original television
series and movies-of-the-week for V Entertainment Group.
