Jordan Anderson is an aspiring producer and currently produces and directs three television shows at Piscataway Community Television. Jordan graduated from Rider University in December 2023 with a BFA degree in film and television. Having lived and studied in various cities (domestic and international) she strives to do the best work possible.
A background that prepared her for a career in media
Her background in entertainment began in high school, when she decided to pursue storytelling and visual media as a career. She interned and lived in Los Angeles, learning about media in the heart of Hollywood. She also worked as a traveling journalist in Urbino, Italy. These experiences contributed to her current success.
Learning from her mentor and colleagues
Upon meeting her mentor and close friend, Steve Kaiser. Steve has worked closely with PCTV for 33 years and has the longest-running show there called On the Loose. Steve taught Jordan the business with hands-on experience. She and Steve actively work on Non-Profit Television (NPTV), The Green Industry Report, and On the Loose together every week. Steve taught her all she knows about cable television and continuously inspires her.
Their partnership began in January 2024, when her father brought her down to the Total Pro Expo in Edison, NJ. Steve and the host, Lisa, were filming an episode for Growing Green (now The Green Industry Report) where Lisa interviewed her dad. Jordan’s father works for CLC Landscape Design in Ringwood, NJ, and was tasked with receiving their awards that year.
As Steve and Lisa introduced themselves as cable television crew members, Jordan’s dad recommended she meet them. Lisa has worked closely with both of them since. Upon joining her father the second day of the Expo, Jordan met Steve and immediately picked up the equipment and filmed the remaining interviews for that month’s show. Jordan was a natural, and Steve was impressed with how quickly she learned.
Bringing Gen Z flair
Having worked in television for decades, Steve started many different shows during his time with PCTV. When Jordan joined the team, he revived one of his old shows, Non-ProfitTelevision, which had existed for 8 years, and gave Jordan full control of the new age of the show. She started social media pages, YouTube channels, and her own business. She brought the innovations from what she learned in college to make the show better. These shows include:
Non-Profit Television (NPTV)is a show dedicated to 501(c)(3)s and promoting organizations and their upcoming events. Besides being producer, Jordan has worked as a camera operator, director, content creator, social media expert, and host. Although her original intention was to stay behind the scenes, she was encouraged by Steve to be on camera, interviewing the different people they met. This gave her a sense of both sides of the business–crew and talent. Some non-profit organizations that have been featured on the show include: The Fighting Children’s Cancer Foundation, the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation, the Somerset County Sheriff’s Department, the Branchburg Rotary, and many more.
The Green Industry Report was formerly known as the award-winning Growing Green. Originally sponsored by the New Jersey Nursery & Landscape Association (NJNLA), it focused on all things green industry in New Jersey.With host Lisa DeAngelis, the show features various garden centers, business owners, and agriculture experts sharing their knowledge of plants and flowers (most recently sponsored by Hionis Greenhouses). The team loves learning more about the green industry in the Garden State.
On the Loose has been on the air for over 30 years, representing many different businesses. Steve started the show back in 1992, where he has had over 40 hosts. Currently hosted by Lisa and Jordan, the crew gets to meet a multitude of business owners and industry professionals. Best described as a variety show, it captures the fun parts of life by supporting small businesses. Having ice cream shops, meat markets, thrift stores, entertainment venues, etc., Jordan truly loves to see the connection this show has had over the years with so many people.
Jordan’s goals with these shows are to create a portfolio of herself and her work for future projects and opportunities. In addition to working as a producer on the shows, she is also the executive assistant at a production company in New York City. She has worked with Sonia Victoria Werner at the Lighthouse Ladies, LLC., since January 2024 as well. Here, she branches out her narrative film knowledge while still learning the aspects of the broadcast world.
Jordan is very grateful for all of the opportunities she has been given, and strives to work hard every day she can, and thanks those she has met along the way who have helped her out. She is especially thankful to her parents, Steve and Lisa, along with George and Doug at PCTV, who helped her be a part of the JAG community and exposed her to the broadcast world.
