Local TV News Growth – Exciting Trends

Clients keep telling me about the new newscasts they’re launching and so, anecdotally, I know local news is doing well. But last week, Stephen forwarded to me a recent study from the Pew Research Center. Their research concluded that local television’s average viewership grew in 2014. And those gains were predominately made in nontraditional timeslots – namely the very early, midday, and 7pm. Although these newscasts still account for a […]

PromaxBDA & Station Summit 2015 – That’s a wrap!

Well, that’s another pair of Promax conferences wrapped up and in the vault (no, not that Vault). It was great getting to see everyone in Los Angeles and Las Vegas this year! Normally, we’d be congratulating our two guitar winners, but this year we think Stephen may’ve been affected by that 115º Vegas summer heat, because he decided to give away six (6!) extra guitars in Vegas! So first off, […]

20 Years and #StillIndie

What a long strange trip it’s been. As you can guess from my last name, I’ve been around Stephen Arnold Music for quite a long time. I’ve often mused that it was quite an eye-opening discovery, around age 8 or 9, to find out that EVERYONE didn’t have a recording studio.

Favorite Album Covers

A Lost (Cover) Art

A generation ago, the music listening experience was just that: an experience. Having returned from the record store, the eager listener – usually in the company of like-minded friends – would peel the shrinkwrap from the rather large cardboard sleeve and remove the inner, thinner paper sleeve to reveal the all-important vinyl record that awaited inside.
