KTLA Killer Creative!
KJCT NEWS 8
Great Work Everyone! We love being partners with SAM in Grand Junction, CO.
WKYC / TEGNA
Great spots, and custom songs, all around! Great use of nat sound in the LA promo. Really like the Vegas campaign. The music feels like we’re on a journey and chorus helps make it feel like a community taking part in the promo.
KTVE/KARD
I like LA’s Very Own and We Love Florida the most. Very good sonic branding!
KTTC
WOW! Pure talent, you guys! I’m always happy with the content you produce and am jealous of your abilities. Please feel free to share these successes more often. And tell Jesus he’s too handsome to hide behind music editing software all day!
WREG-TV
I love the variety. Very cool to mix in nats on the LA’s Very Own campaign.
WKBT
You guys really have some of the best music out there. I had the Vault for years and loved it. And one of the things I appreciated the most was your ability to work with stations on the special AV packages. Because I’m one of those promo directors that absolutely abhors “full sing” versions of songs/campaigns, and you were very accommodating in providing the instrumental versions only, and as expected, the spots turned out great!
KFOR-TV
You know a promo is good if it makes me want to go to Florida.
These are some nice promos!
WSFA
All great campaigns! I love working with SAM.
SAM
Thank you! Appreciate it, Travis!
WOWK 13

WTVG-13abc
Great stuff (as always). Thanks SAM!
SAM
Appreciate it, Ryan!
KAIT / Gray TV
Good stuff! Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes its best to have lyrics speak for you instead of VO!
WOFL
Original music REALLY makes a difference! These all feel like anthems, but I’m kind of partial to “We Love Florida” for some strange reason…
KSL-TV Salt Lake City, Utah
All great stuff! I like the Florida song and promo the best. Great pacing and feel 🙂
WJBF-TV
I remember working with you guys in the early 90s when you were across from the Mary Kay HQs…and this summer we just finished another custom sing…always have been the best in the Biz!!
WPIX-TV
I love how different the tone in each piece is. Very reflective of each market. I particularly like Austin. Also, the 29th is my birthday- this would be amazing to win.
Nexstar Media Group-Nashville Design Center
So nice – huge fan of Home is Las Vegas!
Gray Television
I’m digging the lyrics and music. Austin & Vegas stand out for me. Speaking of Vegas, was great meeting & hanging with the gentlemen at Promax this year. Thanks for letting me sit in with you guys at the afterparty!
WTVO-TV
I’ve NEVER EVER been disappointed by anything from Stephen Arnold’s amazing team. Everything they do is top-notch, and those four videos are just small examples of that.

Good job. LA and Las Vegas are solid. Those spots and music bed are what I’d be drawn to if I were tasked with an image campaign of our own.
KRQE TV
Like them all – love the Las Vegas version. Very catchy!
WHEC-TV (News10NBC)
Nice work. Seemed to nail the tone of each city. They also don’t feel dated… the Las Vegas track reminds me of Mumford and Sons.
KWWL
These all feel great! They make me want to visit LA, Florida, Austin & Vegas! I especially liked the lyric “We’re all somehow connected, like the words to some great song,” from LA’s Very Own. Nice work as always!
WLFI
Nice work. They all sounded very contemporary. A good variety of moods. Great arrangements!
KAKE
Wow, really impressive. Liked them all but favorites are LA & LV.
Nice! Top shelf.

KTAB/KRBC Abilene, TX
Oh my goodness, those are so good! Home is Las Vegas is a song I’d listen to driving in the car. SAM always knocks it out of the park with their music.
WJRT ABC12
Love the Florida song
WTWO
‘LA’s Very Own’ has got to be one of the best that I’ve heard in awhile! Instantly hooked!!!
KHQ-TV
These are great, upbeat, and uplifting. Good Job!
KCAU-TV in Sioux City, Iowa
I really connected to the We Love Florida campaign. That kept me engaged through the whole spot and had great energy. I struggled with the I Am Austin as it was a repeat over and over. I was expecting to hear more things about Austin or the news team. I saw it visually, but there wasn’t a match with the audio. Home is Las Vegas was my second favorite. That spot also kept me engaged. I’m wondering if viewers enjoy see more video of viewers than they do seeing the anchors? Is this a trend to show less anchors and more people? Overall, the music sounds wonderful. Some spots had better lyrics that kept me engaged. All the stations did stellar in their video adaptation of the lyrics provided. All in all…they are all great spots.
All good and all different. Nice job SAM
WWLP-22News
Nice work on all the campaigns. I love the line in Home is Las Vegas, “Together, we bring out the best in us.” The lyrics in LA’s Very Own are perfect for a station anniversary.
WWBT
Like the Austin one
KAYU Spokane
Inpirational, I’m on board the ‘I am…’ train! I am on board, oooh ooooh.

KMVU FOX26
Once again Stephen Arnold Music comes through with the “Best in the Industry” image campaigns. SAM is exceptional at creating and enhancing a mood. Top notch music that is perfect to pair with image video. The thing I liked most about these examples is how successful they are at creating a community feeling. Good work, as always.
Draper Media
Excellent work. I especially like the upbeat music of the Florida campaign.
WCBI TV
I like Austin because it seems less “Filmy/Cinematic” and more tangible and the music matched it perfectly.
I liked Las Vegas as well for the same reasons. All the music and video were outstanding though. Tipping my hat to y’all and the video producers on all of those..
WOOD TV8
I love the “we’ve got sunshine in our souls,” line! nailed it!
WITN-TV
Always awesome quality with your tracks, really like the Vegas one.
Looking forward to news music the first of the year with you guys hopefully.
