Madison found out this week that Frank Productions, the Madison-based independent promoter group, is being acquired by Live Nation, a large, international promotions company. Jonathan Zarov speaks with two music journalists about what this acquisition for Live Nation will mean for Madison’s music scene. 

Dave Brooks is a Senior Correspondent for Billboard Magazine, and founder of Amplify. He broke the news of the acquisition nationally (and hinted at it in December). Scott Gordon is Editor-in-Chief of the online music, arts and culture site Tone Madison, and reported on this acquisition from a local perspective.
