PDXposed is a local arts, travel and entertainment TV show, featuring the Portland metropolitan area and beyond. Recently nominated for two Northwest Regional Emmy Awards by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.


HISTORY

First airing in January 2004, PDXposed has revolutionized the concept of locally produced television.

PDXposed is the creation of two great media minds, Jon Olson (Host, Writer and Executive Producer) and Josh Martin (Senior Editor and Cameraman). Over the past few years Jon, Josh and the rest of the PDXposed crew have created a new concept of how television should be presented and produced; fun and positive television of the highest quality.

Having been recognized regionally and nationally by its peers, fans and the television industry, PDXposed was nominated the last two years for Emmy Awards in two categories: "Entertainment Special or Series," and Jon Olson was nominated in the category of "Host/Talent – Non-News." In the last five years, PDXposed is one out of just two Oregon entertainment series’ to be nominated, and Jon was the only Oregon host nominated during this time.

The show earned rave reviews from the press and fans after intering into a relationship with the
Portland-Sapporo Sister City Association. In 2005 and 2007 the crew spent multiple days filming in Sapporo, capturing its friendly beauty in two different seasons with a series of 30-minute episodes featuring Sapporo, Portland's "Sister City." The crew has also traveled to Germany, Hawaii, and plans to film future episodes in China.

PDXposed now airs on KGW NewsChannel 8 Saturdays at 7:00 p.m, and during football season will have a second airing in prime time Sundays at 9:30 p.m. PDXposed is pleased to join with KGW, which is the #1 rated broadcast network in the Portland media market and just won sweeps for the 33rd consecutive time.

QUOTABLE QUOTES

PDXposed is a great asset to media in Portland, Oregon. In addition to having positive and interesting shows, they are hard working and have the respect of the community. Their broadcasts are always professional and lively. On the premiere of my first big screen project several years ago, PDXposed covered this historical event. As it turned out, this film (Small City Big Hip Hop) was the first film to document Hip Hop in Portland, Oregon. It was shown in numerous places including a featured spot at the most respected Hip Hop film festival located in New York City. I really appreciate the first coverage we received from PDXposed and wish them much success in the future. When they become a national (and even international) success, we will all be proud. And, it could not happen to a better group of media professionals as those who make up the PDXposed crew.& nbsp;

Thanks Julie, Jon, Josh, Mike, and Sean.

Our company's experience with the pdxposed crew could not have been better. They are professional, fun and deliver on every promise. The quality of the video footage and the editing work are all top notch. The crew was a delight to work with. Jon is total pro and his enthusiasm is infectious. Julie gets the job done and is a breeze to work with. They all worked with us on facilitating OUR needs as a business, not just their own.

“You are a very charismatic entertainer, and I for one would like to be a part of your world.”
- George Mykel, TRICORGI PRODUCTION

“Portland and especially Oregon is lucky to have you and the rest of the crew at PDXposed. I watched On Demand last night, your Japanese community show and it was great. There was a lot of good information and often very funny. I laughed a lot.”
- Jim Hill, EDITOR of SHIMBUM PRESS

Watched some of your programs, I'd say they were the most professional on this kind of subject I've seen. In particular I liked the easy approach you have to your subjects, so many of these kind of info reports are condescending both to the viewer and the subject.Your style reminds me of a program called 'tomorrows world' where they explain new and innovative technical solutions in laymans language. I’m jealous, you get to do all the fun things; I just tell people to write about them.
