Education and career

Palmer completed his graduation from the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a B.A. in direction and production of film and television in 1979.[4] He started his career at age 12 as a musician.[3] He wrote Meow Mix jingles and composed music for Live with Regis and Kelly, Spin City and MSNBC.[5]

Palmer produced HotPop, which aired on Starz/Encore's Wam! Network. He also produced NBC Universal's Digital Life with Shelly Palmer, and Live Digital with Shelly Palmer.[6][7]

Radio work

Palmer's first "full service" radio production client was The ABC Television Network. SLP&Co. scripted, cast, produced, composed and trafficked over 150 radio spots per year to ABC's 213 affiliated television stations. During the early 1990s, SLP&Co. expanded its staff and production facilities to include more work with music as well as programming and production for CD-ROM, the World Wide Web, Interactive Television and other digital media.

Interactive television

Palmer's first solo technology patent was for an interactive television system that allowed users to click a button on their remote to perform near-real-time transactions over broadcast television. Palmer also invented and patented the methodology that enabled viewers to watch television and interact with server-based information in relative sync, known as two-screen interactive television. Major network broadcasts soon adopted this technology, including ABC's Monday Night Football, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and The Academy Awards.[3]

As The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries licensed Palmer's Enhanced Television technology, the company soon hired Palmer as a consultant to their Enhanced Television division. In 2004, ABC's Celebrity Mole Yucatán received an Emmy Award in the category of Enhancement of Original Television Content, a project team of advanced media professionals spearheaded by Palmer.
