As Executive Producer of the hit CBS drama Touched By An Angel, which is now in its fifth season, and Promised Land, which also starts its successful third season, Martha Williamson is only the second woman to solely executive produce two hour-long dramas simultaneously on U.S. network television.
 
With Touched By An Angel, Williamson's impact on television and, in particular, the dramatic genre, is immeasurable. According to the Los Angeles Times, which profiled her in an extensive Sunday magazine cover story, "she is the force behind the uncommon hour-long series...giving her something in common with Steven Bochco, David E. Kelley, Aaron Spelling and Chris Carter." Under her direction, the series was nominated for an Emmy in the "President's Award" category. Williamson herself has been honored with such pre-eminent awards as the Templeton Prize, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith's Deborah Award, the Catholics in Media Associates Award, the Covenant Award, the Excellence in Media Award, the Gabriel Award and the Swiss American Faith and Values Award. Most recently, she received the prestigious "Nova Award" from the Producers Guild of America.
