The Voice Scores Incredible Post-Super Bowl Ratings

Monday, February 6th, 2012

The Voice is off to an amazing start to its second season.

How amazing? Check out this stat: last night’s show was the single highest rated entertainment telecast since 2006. Here are the details, according to The Wrap:

The second-season premiere of NBC’s “The Voice” after the Super Bowl scored the highest ratings of any entertainment telecast since 2006.

“The Voice” scored a 16.3 rating in the crucual adults 18-49 demographic and 37.6 million total viewers overall. It was the best rating since a 16.5 for “Grey’s Anatomy” after the Super Bowl on ABC in 2006.

The show was up 47 percent in the demo and 40 percent in total viewers over the episode of “Glee” that aired after the Super Bowl on Fox last year. (“Glee” scored an 11.1 and 26.8 million total viewers.)

As you might have guessed, Jingle Punks had some musical input into the show, providing custom composition and recording, as well some bits from our Jingle Punks library. Needless to say, Jingle Punks is proud to be a part of such a successful show. Congrats to all involved.

TOTALLY AMP’D, Mobile App Series Aimed At Tweens, Launches, Features Original Jingle Punks Music!

Monday, January 30th, 2012

There’s nothing like being part of something innovative, and flat out cool.

Which is why we’re so psyched to be a part of Totally Amp’d, the first mobile-based series aimed at tweens. The series tells the story of five teens who aim to form a pop supergroup. The best part (to us, at least)? The series features the talented cast performing original music written by our very own Jared Gutstadt.

Totally Amp’d consists of ten ‘appisodes’. The first ten-minute appisode is free. After that, a one-time fee of $4.99 unlocks not only the remaining nine installments, but also a plethora of interactive features. Remix options and the opportunity to design artwork and detail the band’s aesthetic are just some of the many features with which users can create custom content.

Congrats to all involved with Totally Amp’d, especially the producers of Totally Amp’d: Toronto-based Shaftesbury and its digital media arm Smokebomb Entertainment. Get the app today, and watch the first episode below!
