Frontino began producing and cablecasting his own programs on April 2, 2009. He produced nearly 250 episodes for us under the names of "Move Your Mountains" and "Local Talent Showcase". In his spare time, he helped a variety of other producers create their content and share their experiences.
"Move Your Mountains," was a religious-based program that focused on spiritual topics and values. "Local Talent Showcase," was a program that focused on people and places in our Sacramento community. Some of the over 200 programs he produced covered topics from "Emergency Response" to "Opera Music" to "Christmas Specials" to "God and Religion" to "Pets and Animals" to "Arts and Literature." Some of his programs even featured music performances and children! All the while, touching the hearts and minds of many people and supplying important information all over the world!
Originally from New York, Frontino worked for PacBell / AT&T as a manager in the Sacramento area. Attendees at the memorial service also knew Tony from his participation in Toastmasters, local theater, and a casual breakfast group who met daily at Peet's Coffee inside the Carmichael Raley's Supermarket.
Tony is survived by his brothers Jim and Louis, who attended the memorial service Saturday in Carmichael.
Repeats of his TV series "Local Talent Showcase," will continue to be seen on Tuesdays at 10:30pm, Wednesdays at 2:30pm, and Thursdays at 6:30am. We will continue to run his previously-produced content on the regular schedule through the end of this year!
