Company Information

New Visions Worldwide Distribution, Inc. was established to provide specialized distribution for our clients. Over 25-years ago Rodney learned that many companies had the desire and were actively seeking ways in which to control a portion of their TV destiny by creating TV programming. Not wanting to just be relegated to the purchase and placement of commercials clients wanted to be a part of the theme and story line in the programming. The problem was there was no one available to successfully distribute programming to the hundreds of TV outlets. Today much more than before there is a keen desire by forward-thinking advertisers to produce "content" that is TV programming. New Visions Worldwide Distribution became the answer to guaranteed sponsor-driven TV program distribution.

New Visions Worldwide Distribution syndicates/distributes TV programming both domestically in the U.S. and internationally across the globe. Historically we provide programming in just over 120 countries outside the U.S. as well as delivering a 65% to 70% minimum "reach" guarantee of all U.S. TV households.

New Visions Staff

The New Visions Worldwide Distribution staff is composed of a group of uniquely talented individuals. Literally one of the barter syndication pioneers, New Visions Worldwide Distribution staff represents a 40-year commitment to successfully distributing TV programming on behalf of our clients.

James Tusty is the newest addition to the NVS team. After nearly 30 years of knowing Rodney, the two decided to join forces in 2013. James founded the production company Mountain View Group, Ltd. in 1981, and sold it to two employees in 2008. Since then, he and his wife Maureen founded Sky Films Inc. and have produced several documentaries for both theatrical release and television broadcast. In 2008, the New York Times cited their theatrical film “The Singing Revolution” as one of five “maverick films" that successfully end ran the Hollywood system. We can’t think of a more perfect credential for a New Visions partner.
