    On-screen caller ID = The Clapper
    March 30th, 2008 by Seth Shapiro

    Every 18 months, someone trumpets Caller ID displayed on TV (an easy task for a cable modem or DSL obviously) as the long-awaited killer app of interactive TV

    If this were true, then (to paraphrase James Carville) the digital TV industry would be the most expensive act of masturabation since Ross Perot’s candidacy.

    We have cordless phones now. And, really, you can look at your phone while you watch TV.

    Other than your boss, Caller on TV is not interesting to anyone on Earth.

    ARC: The A&R Channel Site
    March 14th, 2008 by Seth Shapiro

    Just back from the road after some weeks in Philadelphia, San Francisco and elsewhere, all great.

    btw the ARC website has been up for some time here. Please let us know what you think and, especially, if you have any shows or artists we should be looking at. Thanks.
