Volume 14, Issue 7 – July 31, 2025

Hi #AVtweeps, it’s the end of the month, so you know what that means: I’m wrapping up all our latest RADIO and TV episodes and putting them all in one place for you! This month, we covered a lot of ground. From DCC selling its European units to the use of AI and how it can potentially disseminate misinformation, we have a lot for you to chew on this time. 

Enjoy, and let me know if there’s anything else I should cover for next month. I always appreciate your input. 

Stay Cool!

FEATURED RANTS & RAVES EPISODE

Episode 1453: DCC Sells European IT Units, Almo Pro AV Remains Steady

In this episode of Rants & rAVes, I spoke with Dan Smith, EVP of Almo Pro AV, following the news that DCC Technology has sold several of its IT-focused businesses in Europe. Dan clears up what this means for the ProAV side of the business — including the fact that Almo Pro AV is not impacted by the sale. In fact, he says the change brings renewed focus and momentum for the North American ProAV channel. Watch the full interview for key takeaways.
