Who's the K-ING?
Mike hopes to drum up publicity for the station by having a wedding take place live on the air. But when the minister fails to show up, Mike tries to pass himself off as Father Mike and perform the ceremony himself. Meanwhile, Joe accidentally lets a swarm of bees into the control booth.
About Who's the K-ING? - Comedy (1978-83, 1988-91*) After a freak accident radio station, owner Mike Billings needs new hosts to work cheap at K-ING so he can pay off lawsuits. So he hires whoever shows up and asks for a show. Libby and Jeff are a divorced couple hosting a radio show about how to have a successful marriage. Buzz Normans speaks so fast he gets more said in his one hour show than the rest of the staff combined. Dianne dishes all the gossip going on in her neighborhood. And Sean thinks he's an alien. And why is the janitor the one who's coolest one of the group? Can Mike keep his station going long enough to pay off his lawsuits without playing any music or paying the employees? Second series includes fold over cast in second season from Julie's Academy. See J.A. Description.
*Due to the fact that most of the cast is in both series, TomatoTV shows both as one.

Our Panel "Full Time Creative Work on Part Time" at SDCC

- by Topher Davila
on July 20, 2010
For the second year in a row the planners of San Diego Comic Con thought Tomato TV’s co-operative work model was interesting enough to award panel time for us to share how we are able to end up with a singularly branded product, even though it’s made up of a mix of separate individuals and stories. I’ve always said our model and how we work together is unique. It’s a kind of fun wonderful to have that validated by the fact that they want us to share they way we work together. The panel will be Sunday, July 25, 3:00PM - 4:00 PM “Full Time Creative Work on Part Time” Room 24ABC. The panel gist is simple. The creative industries demand full time output, even if it’s not your full time job and thus you don’t have time for full time output (if for example you’re a hobbiest or breaking into the business). We’ll show you how to work with others to have a product that’s singularly branded but made form a group effort.

Regular programming to resume July 28th

- by Topher Davila
on July 20, 2010
When last I posted it was to say that regular programming schedule would be spotty until life got less crazy and I could devote the proper time to TomatoTV that it deserves. It was a usual webcomics post, but this one saying we’ll be resuming regular programming isn’t. Regular postings will be Wednesday and Friday starting Wednesday July 28th with a special post con post then again Friday July 30th. I can’t say how happy I ma that the staff and I will be back to regular postings. With it’s unique model and voice the staff and I wanted to do TomatoTV right, and now we can share our stories with you. Thank you for anyone left that stuck it out with us. There’s lots of fun ahead so stay tuned!

Program schedule may be spotty, but we'll be back on the air sooner than later...

- by Topher Davila
on January 2, 2010
This is the post I’ve been trying to put off as long as I could. For anyone that’s dropped by after San Diego Comic Con or Long Beach Comic Con you’ve noticed unfortunately a diminishing amount of publishing. It’s because I’ve learned that freelance is a good thing and so is web comics, but the two don’t mix well at all. Trying to both freelance as well as a be a web comics illustrator, writer AND editor for TomatoTV.net has not worked out as evidence of our terrible publishing “schedule”. I’ve been evaluating and some things gatta go. Now, you’ve read several posts that start with a similar prompt of “not enough time. Too much life” then they usually end with “it’s been great. Bye bye webcomic.” Well not here, for me it’s “Freelancing has been great, but bye bye Freelance. Hello TomatoTV.net” I’ll be returning to regular work for a company for a variety of reasons, but amongst those so I can donate the proper time to TomatoTV.net and really take it where I know it can go.
