John Askew Launches PrimeTime Productions TV
John Askew, an accomplished entertainment executive and President of For Us By Us Studios, has officially announced the launch of his new media venture,
PrimeTime Productions TV. This innovative production company is dedicated to the development and delivery of original television and streaming content, signifying a bold step in Askew's extensive career in the film and entertainment industry.
The formation of PrimeTime Productions TV is based on Askew’s rich background in the entertainment realm, particularly his strategic collaboration with J Alexander Martin, co-founder and CEO of FUBU Network. Over the last two years, Askew has played a critical role in creating engaging entertainment and content proposals, a foundation upon which this new venture is built.
In his new role as CEO of PrimeTime Productions TV, Askew intends to harness his experience to focus on creating original programming tailored to the dynamic and ever-changing streaming landscape. One of the unique advantages Askew possesses is his established relationship with FUBU Network, which provides him with extraordinary access to distribute content directly, thus bypassing the traditional pitch-and-license hurdles that many producers encounter. This exclusive channel empowers Askew to connect with audiences effectively and efficiently.
According to Askew, "PrimeTime Productions TV is the natural evolution of my work in the entertainment space. My tenure as President of For Us By Us Studios has highlighted the need for compelling original programming. With this new platform, we are committed to producing content that not only entertains but also resonates emotionally with viewers. We aim to showcase strong personalities, innovative ideas, and captivating stories that foster a connection with audiences."

- - Beauty Brains Business-Atlanta: A series that follows dedicated entrepreneurs Khane'sha Monae and Treana McDowell on their journeys to build empires and generate generational wealth.

J Alexander Martin commented on this new partnership stating, "John has exhibited phenomenal leadership, creativity, and a robust understanding of what great content entails. PrimeTime Productions TV signifies a significant opportunity for him and his team to address content needs for the FUBU Network. I am enthusiastic about collaborating with John in this endeavor and am keen on delivering these creations to audiences.”
Even with this new venture, Askew plans to juggle responsibilities, remaining President of For Us By Us Studios while concurrently guiding PrimeTime Productions TV as CEO. The strategic arrangement will see PrimeTime Productions TV focused on content development while FUBU Network takes charge of distribution and streaming logistics.
