The Story of PSI TV

Growing up, Dr. Trudy Beerman witnessed the power of television when the Billy Graham Crusade filled Jamaica's National Stadium—thanks to the reach of TV media. From that moment, she set her sights on being part of the television world.

Although well-meaning mentors steered her toward other career paths, her passion for media never faded. In 1994, she stepped into journalism, and by 2009, she was taking broadcasting classes—moving closer to the industry she had admired since childhood.

Her work brought her in and out of the WFLA Channel 8 studios, sister company to The Tampa Tribune, where she wrote as a contributing journalist. But Trudy soon realized that breaking into television was far more complex than it seemed. It was an industry of connections and pay-to-play opportunities.

Still undeterred, she continued her media training. When television and the internet began to merge, she saw her chance. In 2019, she launched her own TV channel on Roku, giving experts and creators a platform to share their voices.

Then came 2020. The pandemic shut down studio access, and Zoom became the affordable new way to produce content. Just as she adapted, Trudy faced a personal health crisis—an undiagnosed illness that left her hospitalized for weeks and reliant on in-home nursing care. During her recovery, she turned that setback into an opportunity, enrolling in a doctoral program and completing a lifelong goal.

With her doctorate completed in 2025, Dr. Trudy refocused PSI TV to serve as the platform for experts seeking influential reach—helping professionals, authors, and business owners expand their visibility, credibility, and impact through television.
