BreakThrough Properties Group, LLC

Breakthrough Properties Group LLC is a partnership formed by InSight Productions, Inc. and Ron Hendren Productions, Inc. The company was founded to provide a unified entity for BREAKTHROUGH: Television's Journal of Science and Medicine, and for other planned ventures in broadcast programming.

Established in 1983, InSight has long been recognized as one of the premier full-service production companies in the Southeast. The company has specialized since its inception in science and technology projects, particularly in the fields of medicine and health, pharmaceuticals, and medical diagnostic equipment. This concentration has brought a depth of experience in a wide variety of related subjects, and a well-honed ability to communicate complex concepts effectively to both professional and lay audiences.

Several of InSight's staff members served long careers in broadcasting, in news and public affairs, program production and direction, and engineering and technical positions prior to joining the company. By applying the tools, skills, and sensibilities of the broadcast world to the demands of the independent production arena, InSight has developed a unique niche and a sterling reputation in a highly competitive marketplace.

BREAKTHROUGH stands as a synthesis of the company's roots in broadcasting and its many accomplishments and experiences in non-broadcast television. Having been called upon countless times to communicate timely information about cutting-edge innovations in science and medicine, it became readily apparent that there was no program on the air designed specifically to share these exciting and important developments with a public eager to learn about them. BREAKTHROUGH was conceived as an ambitious medium to fill that void. The InSight team of producers, directors, reporters, researchers, writers, editors, and support personnel bring many decades of collective experience to the project as well as a fierce dedication to compelling and accurate visual story-telling. Public television viewers are being well served by this seasoned group of award-winning professional communicators.
