One of our TV clients, GlobeTrotterTV just launched on the Roku platform this week and their companion site, Roku Guide, just posted the news! GlobeTrotterTV is a travel series that’s been airing locally in the NYC metro area for the past 10 years. The series is hosted by former fashion designer turned travel connoisseur, Jon Haggins. Jon originally studied at FIT and went on to design fashions that graced the covers and pages of top magazines throughout the 70s and 80s including Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Essence and more with stars like Debbie Allen & Felicia Rashad wearing his designs.

Jon later did an about face and decided to follow his second passion, traveling, to thoroughly explore the wonders of the US and the world including far flung places like Morocco, Malaysia, Italy and more. As if that isn’t enough, Jon Haggins has written memoirs which are available on Amazon – our favorite being Yes I Can. This memoir takes readers through a candid overview of Jon’s life from his upbringing by his grandfather in rural Florida to the impact that moving to metropolitan NYC had on his life in the 1960s.

GlobeTrotterTV is a half hour lifestyle travel show available via broadcast to 2 million homes in the NYC Metro area on the following networks:
