Roberto Mighty is the Creator and Writer/Producer of several prime-time ABC affiliate Specials and two weekly television Series. After his own marriage ended three years ago, some friends insisted that he "just get back out there" and start dating. "But I had plenty of baggage. I hadn't been with anyone other than my wife since before we were married--15 years." He created "possLTR" after wondering if other separated and divorced people had similar feelings. "Our research showed that there are millions of "newly single" adults on the dating scene. We have romantic desires, complicated histories, limited leisure time, significant disposable income, familial responsibilities and grown-up tastes. All in all, an intriguing mix to build a series around."
Last year, Roberto's new hit home series, "This Amazing House" aired on WCVB-TV Channel 5, a Top 5 market ABC affiliate station. "This Amazing House" is poised to move into national distribution, as it has attracted national advertising support. Prior to creating "This Amazing House," Roberto created and produced "SoundChek!," a critically-acclaimed series about Alternative music featuring acts such as Letters to Cleo and Ed O.G. and Da Bulldogs (which aired on Tribune Broadcasting); and "Food New England," a 4-year breakthrough series of prime-time Specials on gourmet food and wine, featuring celebrity chefs Jacques Pepin, Todd English and Ming Tsai, and hosted by EMMY-award winning broadcaster Natalie Jacobson.
