The Daily Buzz Moving to New State-of-the-Art Facilities
WINTER PARK, FL, May 15, 2007 — Full Sail Real World Education and ACME Communications (NASDAQ: ACME) announced today that The Daily Buzz, ACME’s leading nationally syndicated morning show, will move to the Full Sail campus in Winter Park, Florida beginning June 2007.

Launched in 2002, The Daily Buzz is a three-hour morning news program that has successfully become an alternative to the common older-skewing network news and paid programs. The Daily Buzz reaches a much younger demographic (18-49 year olds) and currently airs on 144 stations, including all of ACME’s CW Network affiliated stations, The CW 100+ Cable Group, and many of the CBS-owned CW stations.

Digital Content Creation Market to Grow to Nearly $5 Billion in 2012
Posted by jamie under IndustrySource RedOrbit
Jon Peddie Research announces the release of the 2007 Digital Content Creation Report. This year’s report includes sections on 3D modeling and Animation, 2D Animation, Digital Video, Graphics and Imaging, and Audio.
The digital content creation market has seen a healthy period of growth.
The total DCC market grew 16% from $2.6 billion to reach more than $3 billion in 2006. The fastest growing segments in the future will be interactive development and video as the web offers new distribution networks and new programming approaches such as AJAX to enable small compelling applications to be developed that extend the power of individual web sites.
Jon Peddie Research predicts the market will reach $4.9 billion by 2012 reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 10%.
“We are seeing big shifts in the digital content creation market. For example there have been game changing moves by Adobe with the acquisition of Macromedia and Serious Magic, Autodesk’s acquisition of Alias and Colorfront and Google’s acquisition of Sketchup and YouTube. The landscape is changing right in front of us all. It’s all good, but companies are going to have to be nimble to adapt,” says Kathleen Maher, Senior Analyst at Jon Peddie Research and author of the DCC Report.
Mobile Media Multitasking Mania
Posted by jfrench under Advocacy , HistoryAs a gadget-freak with a long history of multitasking (I started playing the drums at age 10, and would be lost with out my Palm Treo’s phone- pda- MP3 player- camera- videocam- IM- web- email- reminder capabillities…) Steve Lohr’s article in the March 25th NYT, “Slow Down, Brave Multitasker, and Don’t Read This in Traffic“, was of particular interest to me personally.As our industry explores, develops and encourages the many uses of mobile digital media devices (see DMAF’s June 2005 DiMeNar, “Digital Media Content on Mobile Devices and Platforms: What does the future hold?” and “Digital Media is…” multimedia segment we must make a concerted effort to remain aware of the latest research that addresses the effects, benefits and risks of their use under a variety of conditions, in a variety of situations. Future research in this area is bound to be controversial and the subject of future legislation, so DMAF will endeavor to identify and hightlight materials that allow our members to make and encourage responsible decisions.If you run across any articles, blogs or video features on this topic, please send them along and we will post the information.
