The anticipated debut of “Jane Velez-Mitchell,” HLN’s new nightly news show starring one of the network’s most recognizable on-air talents, features an energetic and distinctive new theme from sonic branding experts <a href="http://www.stephenarnoldmusic.com.“>Stephen Arnold Music. “Jane Velez-Mitchell” airs at 7 PM EST, Monday-Friday on HLN.
HLN once again turned to <a href="http://www.stephenarnoldmusic.com.“>Stephen Arnold Music for “JVM” — the latest in a series of successful collaborations that also includes original sonic brands for the shows “Dr. Drew,” “Prime News,” “Showbiz Tonight” and “Morning Express with Robin Meade.” The objective for JVM: create a strong and compelling theme that mirrored the dynamic personality of the show’s colorful host.
A Musical Jolt for “Jane”
Using an inspired mix of keyboards, loops, live guitars and bass, <a href="http://www.stephenarnoldmusic.com.“>Stephen Arnold Music produced a driving, upbeat audio theme. The distinctive melody morphed into a musically diverse package representing rock, electronic and hip hop styles, reinforcing the show’s various moods. <a href="http://www.stephenarnoldmusic.com.“>Stephen Arnold Music‘s new theme reinforces the rebranding of the show, which had previously aired as “Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell.”
“‘JVM’ is a very musically intensive show โ HLN treats the themes as theatrical elements,” Stephen Arnold, President of <a href="http://www.stephenarnoldmusic.com.“>Stephen Arnold Music says. “The new music reflects the drive and passion that Mitchell brings to her reporting.”
Arnold adds, “When we do sonic branding for a show that’s centered around a personality, we spend a lot of time watching them on the air and seeing what they’re about before we even start writing. Jane brings drama, mystery and a lot of positive force to the screen — our goal was to capture her musically.”
Ratings Up at HLN
HLN’s 2011 ratings broke records for the network, a positive trend involving a growing number of shows scored and sonic branded by <a href="http://www.stephenarnoldmusic.com.“>Stephen Arnold Music.
“Every show is different, but we understand that HLN needs their music to feel fresh, innovative and artist-driven,” Stephen Arnold concludes. “It’s a sound that’s connected to what their audiences are listening to, and that supports the brand objectives of each show. ‘JVM’ stands out musically, while still being a perfect fit with HLN’s lineup.”
