From 1976 until 1985, the show was very studious, with Horkheimer being calm and speaking quietly like an educator rather than an entertainer. The show debuted on November 6, 1976, on WPBT. This was the beginning of Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler.

Horkheimer agreed on the condition that WPBT help him create a series of 5-minute shows on stargazing. He was approached by Miami's PBS affiliate, WPBT, to do a series of half-hour programs about astronomy, titled Horkheimer's Heavens. By the early 1970s, he was appearing on news programs talking about astronomy. In 1964, Jack Horkheimer started working at the Miami Space Transit Planetarium for the Miami Museum of Science after meeting the museum's president, Arthur Smith. A month of episodes can be recorded from a satellite feed that occurs approximately two weeks before the official broadcast dates. The program is available free to all Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) public television stations, educational institutions and astronomy clubs. On the weekly program, the host informs the viewer of significant astronomical events for the upcoming week, including key constellations, stars and planets, lunar eclipses and conjunctions, as well as historical and scientific information about these events. In 2019, Dean Regas and James Albury stepped down from the program and were replaced by Trace Dominguez. After his death in 2010, a series of guest astronomers hosted until 2011, when Dean Regas, James Albury, and Marlene Hidalgo became permanent co-hosts.
