Our 2006 Judges' Panel — again, left to right:
Mark Bolger
Mark Bolger appeared in his first radio commercial at the age of 5. Still some
of the best work he has ever done! He worked part-time on the radio while still
in High School which he gives as his reason for poor math scores. Mark's first
celebrity interview was the late Bob Hope when he performed here in the Valley
back in the late 70's.
Mark Bolger has been on the air full time in the Hudson Valley since 1981 and
hosting the morning drive show since 1986. I know that sounds old, but remember
he started as a child in this business.
Mark is the winner of the New York State Broadcasters award for an on air stop
smoking show which had listeners quiting smoking by any means possible,
including cutting up their cigarettes with chainsaws! He is also a multiple
winner of Best Radio Personality in the Poughkeepsie Journal, Times Herald
Record and Hudson Valley Magazine.
Mark Bolger currently hosts the morning show along with Kimberly Kay on
Star 93.3 from 5:30 till 10:00 AM weekdays.
Jerry Kauffman
Jerry Kaufman started his career shortly after he graduated from NYU with a
degree in English Literature and Theatre Arts. He began as a production
assistant for John Frankenheimer in live action television. Later, he was
commissioned by Rodale Press to write and direct a series of four 15-minute
films on New York City architecture. His one – hour documentary on Carnegie
Hall, "Fortress", won critical acclaim, and he received the coveted Cine Golden
Eagle, the highest award given by the Council on International Theatrical
Events, for his dance film, "Exorcism".
His commercials have won more than a dozen CLeos. Award-winning director of
commercials, Jerry Kaufman has created hundreds of masterpieces. His impeccable
timing and knack for comedy dialogue sparked a revolution in commercial style
after his "Custodian" spot for Spic 'n Span and "Braces" for Colgate toothpaste
demonstrated that commercials could tell a sensitive and poignant story in sixty
seconds.
In 1972 he opened his own shop, Jerry Kaufman Productions. Over the next decade,
this fully staffed company turned out over 1,000 spots, for clients such as
Proctor and Gamble, Bristol Meyers, 7-Up, Burger King, Eastman Kodak, General
Foods and Prudential Insurance, and ad agencies like Young and Rubicam, BBD&O,
Foote Cohn & Belding, Grey, Wells Rich Green and Ted Bates. His skill with actors
such as Charlotte Ray, Bernadette Peters, Dom Deluise, Susan Sarandon and Judd
Hirsch created a host of memorable gems. He is equally at home in a studio or
on a remote location using multiple cameras and helicopters. He has staged car
crashes for Prudential and directed O.J. Simpson for Hertz.

in the Buffalo area. She received an associate's degree in music, a BA in
