Jax Media Dissolves Development Team; Head of TV Dave Binegar To Exit
Jax Media, an Imagine company, is shutting down its development operations. Moving forward, all development will be run through Imagine Television.
Jax Media, co-founded by Tony Hernandez and Lilly Burns, was launched in 2011 and quickly made its mark for finding creative ways to efficiently produce high-end content, especially comedy, handling physical production for shows such as Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, Difficult People, Search Party, Younger, the Roseanne and reboot The Conners, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Russian Doll, South Side and Desus & Mero. In the past four years, Jax’s production portfolio has slimmed down amid overall industry contraction but remains healthy with several ongoing series, Netflix’s Emily In Paris, Fox’s Animal Control, Channel 4’s Everyone Else Burns, as well as ABC’s The Conners, which is headed to an abbreviated final season, and Riz Ahmed’s upcoming series for Amazon, along with recurring Netflix talkshow franchise, David Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, which last month delivered Jax Media’s 14th Primetime Emmy win. Like all media companies, which are examining closely their bottom lines, looking to save costs by streamline their operations, Imagine is doing the same by consolidating development functions.
