"In the new media world of digital television, Patrick Baldwin created the best program in the country. It required skilled organization to produce an hour long broadcast on a day in history, six weeks in advance. It was Sixty Minutes to a power of six—six days worth of documentaries using the archives of CBS News, Entertainment Tonight and other visual libraries when necessary. Patrick not only produced and led the extensive team of producers, he also wrote much of the material. Each day required creative themes which Patrick provided over and over again, keeping the program fresh and interesting.
It is called Through the Decades, part of the Decades network. I was able to see Patrick at work, calling upon all his acquired experience to maintain a quality control that I would call remarkable. He kept it moving forward, like time itself, turning black and white documentary footage into entertaining and informative capsules. We all felt it, that this was something special for the ages. And Patrick Baldwin was father time, leading, writing and producing the best substance on television."

VETERAN CBS JOURNALIST & OWNER OF KURTIS PRODUCTIONS
"Patrick Baldwin is easily one of the most capable, creative, and inventive producers I've ever worked with. There's not a TV show or digital production slate I wouldn't trust him to bring to life, or rightsize the production model and budget, or innovate in a totally bizarre and fun way that nobody has thought of yet. He's answered every creative challenge I've ever given him with a simple "Sure," and then promptly comes back after modeling everything out with a range of production solutions to talk through.
In short, Patrick is a fabulous producer, production manager, and newsroom presence. He makes everyone around him better."

"Patrick worked as my producer while at Merlin Media in Chicago. During that time Patrick showed he was able to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape, with an ability to "fill in the blanks" when an idea was yet to be fully formed. His help was key in causing the ratings for the morning programming to rise faster than anyone thought possible. Patrick was hands on in all phases of development, implementation, and day to day broadcast news/talk operation. I would gladly work with him again."

STEVE SASLOW
CEO TRUE NORTH ENTERTAINMENT
"Patrick's work always exceeded expectations as he balanced his technical /production skills with extreme creative--- successfully executing a challenging new concept. He was also able to have fun, contributing to a forward thinking modern culture we tried to create. A solid performer with great attitude and a willingness to explore new ideas."
LEE ABRAMS
CEO/CO-FOUNDER AT V-SATCAST
"Patrick was one of the first hires at our startup operation, and worked on our first stories, first presentation video, and helped create the writing style that would become our voice. He quickly rose to the senior producer, the de facto trainer of new producers as we built our talented staff, and proved his natural leadership abilities by managing our group in real time on the floor of our production facility.
Possessed with excellent news judgment and creative skills, he has demonstrated on a daily basis that his skill sets match those of any successful news director I have had a hand in mentoring. Personable, affable, and can-do, he is the kind of leader that a staff validated by the way they work for and with him day in and day out."
