A Western New Yorker's inside view of Disney

Bryan Wittman

On Monday night, the PBS program American Experience will take a look at how entertainment icon Walt Disney helped shape our culture. Western New York native Bryan Wittman became part of that experience, working for the Walt Disney Company for nearly three decades. WBFO’s Avery Schneider talked with Wittman about his home town roots and what it takes to succeed at the world’s largest entertainment company.

American Experience: Walt Disney airs Monday, September 14 and Tuesday, September 15 at 9 p.m. on WNED-TV.

Avery began his broadcasting career as a disc jockey for WRUB, the University at Buffalo’s student-run radio station.
