The Jamz is a half-hour workplace sitcom following the exploits of the crew at 101.7 THE JAMZ, Chicago's fictional #1-rated radio station.
The original concept for The Jamz, which was ordered straight-to-series by The Orchard, was created by Jim Kozyra and Chris Petlak, who serve as series regulars, writers, and co-executive producers.
Kozrya and Petlak were working at Chicago's 101.9 FM "The Mix" when they came up with the idea of a sitcom based on life at a radio station.[1]
In 2012, Kozyra and Petlak raised a couple thousand dollars online to create a web series about life at a dysfunctional radio station. Because the eipodes received very little views, the two created a pilot for a full-fledged television series called “The Jamz” and submitted it to the New York Television Festival in 2014.[2]
Episodes for Season 1 were released on iTunes April 12, 2016.[3] The series premiered on Netflix April 30.
The series is shot in Chicago.[4]
