Terry James Lubinsky is an American radio host. He is also executive producer/director of many Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) pledge-drive programs. He presents oldies-format music programs airing on PBS.
Early life and career.
Lubinsky was born in Bradley Beach, New Jersey. His grandfather, Herman Lubinsky, Sr., founded Savoy Records in Newark, and introduced acts that would be influential in modern popular music (Doo-Wop, Motown, disco and Top 40). Lubinsky, Sr., also founded and operated New Jersey's first radio station WNJ. His uncle, "Buzzy", was also a well-known club disc jockey in New Jersey. At 16, TJ Lubinsky obtained his General Equivalency Diploma and accepted his first television job at Monmouth Cable TV-34 in New Jersey, where he learned his craft for television production. He worked on different news, studio, and sport remotes that served 31 towns, boroughs and municipalities along the Jersey Shore.
When he turned 22, Lubinsky was offered a job to work for PBS in South Florida, eventually becoming promoted and relocating to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, often considered the mecca of oldies music. Taking advantage of that fact, he blended his passion for Doo-Wop, Motown, classic Philly Soul and '60s Rock and Roll oldies into PBS's most successful fundraisers as the creator and executive producer of "Doo-Wop '50", and over 30 national television specials from PBS which archive America's soundtrack from the '50s, '60s and '70s through his "My Music" series. Lubinsky produced the 2005 "Stereo Motown Box Set".
Lubinsky is also one of the executive producers of "The Very Best Of The Ed Sullivan Show" seen on public television.
He helped bring several episodes of "Doctor Who" to the US which had not been shown in the country before. In 2003-2005, he also archived and restored several introductions made for the American broadcast of "Doctor Who" episodes from the Tom Baker era, with voice-overs by Howard Da Silva. These were included on the BBC DVD releases.
For much of his time on WJRZ-FM, Lubinsky enjoyed the highest ratings 12+, and 35-54 demographic during his four years as host and DJ on the WJRZ Sunday Night Request Show, where he hosted five live hours by request through 2009, when the station flipped formats to Adult Contemporary. In July, 2013, Lubinsky made a triumphant return to a weekly Sunday night program on WJRZ. Lubinsky decided to end his WJRZ radio program in 2014 to help care for his father, Lubinsky, Jr. prior to his passing, and to concentrate on new TV projects (including editing new digitally remastered TV feature-length movies of classic "Doctor Who" episodes featuring Tom Baker for the BBC in America". In April 2016, Lubinsky returned to the radio, this time on Friday nights live from 8pm to midnight, up the New Jersey dial to Oldies 1079, WOLD-LP and online and around the world at woldradio.com, where he plays music and interviews with artists from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s and live requests and dedications from his listeners. Lubinsky is still making many television projects for public broadcasting.
Personal life.
Lubinsky is married to Wendy Lawton, and has three children, Kaitlyn, Ryan, and Noah.
