Joe Lizura Official Site

Updated February 7, 2015.  Hi, I'm Joe Lizura, Television Executive Producer,Television Meteorologist and Executive Director of The Solar Alliance Foundation.  For more than 25 years,   I've spent my days either in front of the camera, most recently as an AMS certified Television Meteorologist 

and show host (NBC, CBS, ABC, KUSI), behind the scenes as a television show developer, Executive Producer, and start-up entertainment CEO of several companies (http://www.linkedin.com/in/joelizura) and as a supporter and fundraiser for many charities.  When people ask me which I prefer the most, to be in front of the camera or behind it, I simply answer "Yes" because I love the television business because whether I'm doing the weather, or writing television episodes for families and children to enjoy. I've worked with some really terrific writers, producers, designers, directors, camera operators, news directors, actors and songwriters, and together we've created some really amazing, fun television.

About Joe Lizura

Joe Lizura  was born and raised in New Jersey and graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Bachelor of Arts in Advertising. Joe's first job in television was as a weekend weathercaster for WANE-TV in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After 6 months in Fort Wayne, he was offered a job as a Monday thru Friday weathercaster for WLOX-TV in Biloxi, Mississippi. Two years later Lizura was offered a job doing the weather in Sacramento, California at KCRA-TV, where he was the Morning weathercaster for two years.

Joe Lizura's next job was the primary weathercaster in Cincinnati, Ohio at WLWT-TV working alongside none other than Jerry Springer, who at the time was a news anchor for the 5, 6, and 11 pm newscasts.

He worked in Cincinnati for one year when he was headed back to California to become one of San Diego's longest running television personalities being on the air for more than 20 years, first with NBC 7/39 and then with KUSI-TV. 
During 2006, he entered the area of Executive Production, creating and writing a children's DVD series called "The Jumpitz". Two years later, he created and Executive Produced a television series called "Dos y Dos".

"Working on Dos y Dos was an amazing experience as I had the opportunity to co-write 26 episodes of the award-winning children's television series which now air on Telemundo in Puerto Rico, Sorpresa! in the United States (where Dos y Dos airs 3 times a day - 7 days a week), the LATV Network in the United States, the ATB Network in Bolivia, Panamericana in Peru, and is scheduled for air this fall on Ecuavisa in Ecuador."

In 2011, he became President and CEO of The Allowance Media Group (http://www.allowancemedia.com),  which is developing nearly a dozen new television pilots for production.  He still enjoy living in San Diego, with frequent trips to Los Angeles and Hollywood as the new pilots get close to production.

In 2012 he had a fantastic opportunity to help start a foundation to help disabled veterans.  It's called The Solar Alliance Foundation and it really is going to be a fantastic foundation.  If you get a chance, visit the website and maybe even make a donation.
