Televisionation—Talk Back to Television: New Wave Entertainment COO, Rick Nowak

November 11, 2026

When I watch a GREAT teaser or trailer for a movie or TV Show, I usually wonder, “Who DOES this stuff?” Turns out, it’s Rick Nowak, COO of New Wave Entertainment. They do the GREAT stuff!!! Rick shares his perspective on the consolidation in the studio industry, and since his growing office is across Olive Ave. from Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, I suggested he might soon have expansion space. But then Rick told me that while studios consolidate, the WORK (at least on the promotion side) needs to continue, so many of the professionals whose jobs are eliminated now work (on the same projects) for him!
