Stephen Arnold Music enjoyed a banner year in 2020, creating sonic branding and custom music for national and local clients across the United States and internationally.
Highlights of the studio's work included a complete branding package supporting the launch of NewsNation, a groundbreaking, 3-hour primetime newscast that debuted on Nexstar Media Group's WGN America in September. The package included the show's spirited main theme as well as thematically-related cues for show segments, opens, teases, promos, IDs and other packaging. Earlier in the year, the studio provided custom music for an image campaign underscoring WGN America's commitment to its community under the theme Stronger Together.

In October, Stephen Arnold Music delivered a show package for the relaunch of Good Day LA, the flagship morning show of Fox 11 Los Angeles. The stylish and upbeat theme accompanies a colorful montage of local sites and landmarks including the Griffith Park Observatory, Marina del Rey and Boyle Height's historic Mariachi Plaza. The task for the studio's creative team was to underscore Good Day LA's connection to its diverse community and distinguish it from other morning programs.

In the international market, Stephen Arnold Music furthered its ongoing relationship with CGTN (China Global Television Network). The studio created custom music for several of the news giant's series, including Biz Talk, Asia Today, Rediscovering China and Icon. It also provided award-winning music for CGTN's See The Difference channel identity campaign.
