John Nordstrom is the Daytime Emmy Award-winning composer behind the music heard during each episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful.” In this role, he watches every episode, ensuring that the music he composes is well integrated into scenes and that the show’s library consists of distinguishable variations of the same themes, sometimes as many as 20 iterations of each, so that fresh material is available where and whenever needed by the show’s music editor.
Since joining the show in 2013, after previously composing music for “One Tree Hill” and “Judge Joe Brown,” among other shows, Nordstrom has composed more than 2,000 themes for “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

"Judge Joe Brown" has been adjourned by CBS Television Distribution, the company says in a statement.
The popular daytime court show, second highest-rated behind "Judge Judy," was in negotiations to continue on the air, but Ctd wanted Brown to cut his salary to reflect the decline in ratings in recent years. Negotiations faltered and now the show has been canceled.
"We would like to thank Joe for 15 great years, as well as executive producer John Terenzio and the entire staff for all their hard work and dedication to the show," says Ctd, in a statement.
"Judge Joe Brown" was averaging 3.4 million daily viewers in 2013, which is down from an average of 4.1 million a year ago. The show was also down in the women 25-54 demographic, pulling just a 1.1 household rating.
The court show is expected to run in originals and reruns on the Fox-owned TV stations that currently carry the show until September.

Twentieth Television, which this season launched the court show Judge Alex to respectable ratings, said Tuesday that it is developing two more first-run court strips targeted to launch in the 2006-07 season. One of the shows features Cristina Perez, who presides over cases on Telemundo's court show La Corte de Familia (Family Court) and is shooting an English-language pilot this month. That project is being developed by syndication veteran Peter Brennan, who launched the court shows Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown and most recently executive produced Twentieth's revival of the newsmagazine A Current Affair. The other show features Lynn Toler, a former Cleveland Heights Municipal Court judge and litigation attorney specializing in civil matters. Her relationship with Twentieth extends to 2001, when she hosted its court show Power of Attorney.

Viacom Inc.'s Los Angeles television duopoly of stations will shake up their weekday late-afternoon news schedules in a bid to strengthen KCBS in a period where it has long struggled. The half-hour 4 p.m. newscast will move from independent KCAL to the CBS affiliate beginning Monday and be anchored by KCBS veterans Ann Martin and Harold Greene, who anchor newscasts before and after that time slot, respectively. The new show will lead off a 2 1/2-hour local news block on KCBS. The two stations, which share newsgathering resources, will continue to produce a total of 11 hours of local newscasts each weekday, station executives said. "The public has made it clear to us that they appreciate the quality of our newscasts, so we are committed to doing even more to serve the community, beginning with the expansion of (KCBS') afternoon/early evening news block," duopoly president and general manager Don Corsini said. Currently, KABC is the only other station in the market with a 4 p.m. local newscast. To accommodate the change, KCBS will move Judge Judy up a half-hour to 3 p.m., while Judge Joe Brown, currently airing from 3-3:30 p.m., will move to KCAL and air from 4:30-5:30 p.m. KCAL will fill the 4 p.m. slot with Judge Judy.
