Black Box Summer School Now In Session

• Black Box Group (BBG), the west-coast strategy shop led by media strategist, programmer, columnist, and talent coach Keith Cunningham, has launched Summer School, a 10-course, live online curriculum designed to toughen up programming, talent, digital, and promotions teams before the fall ratings and revenue battles.

Cunningham notes, “Brand teams are smaller, multi-tasking, and are often lacking tools, budget, and critical experience, all while trying to stand out in an avalanche of content and competition.”

Summer School narrows the gaps — each private 30-60-minute session focuses on real-world issues and drops major market strategy for teams who need it right now. Courses include Why Every PD Needs a Revenue Budget, The 2026 Content Reset, Topicality & Content Mastery, The Psychology of Talent & Why Airchecks Fail, Scroll-Stopping Social Discipline, The Most Common Scheduling Mistakes & How to Avoid Them, Nielsen Explained, and more.

“These courses bring scars and receipts, and they’re like injecting decades of major market warfare experience into the veins of attendees, from winning head-to-head battles to knocking a leading morning show off its perch,” Cunningham added.

Summer School is available through August, and stations, clusters, or companies choose only the courses that match their needs, so they can quickly armor up before the Q4 pressures hit.
