From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

To write music, to put a note in an image, it's very difficult, because you can destroy that.

And also, you can change completely the motion of a moment of the movie with one note.

Charismatic Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Gustavo Dutamel confronted a new challenge

when he composed a film score for his friend, director Alberto Arvello.

Both men are our guests today explaining the critical role of music in the new Simone

Bolivar biopic, The Liberator.

But first on the Hollywood news banter, FX falls out of love with its Charlie Sheen experiment

and CBS Benches Rihanna. Stay tuned, it's the business from KCRW.

Hello, Kim.

So, the fall television season, we've talked about it before, but now it's here.

We're starting to see some of the shows.

Get onto the schedules.

Your favorites, if you have them are coming back,

and the new ones. We've seen Fox with Red Band Society and NBC sampling The Mysteries of Laura,

a show that the critics really, really hated. This is a lady who's a cop and a mom of twins.

She's a mom, she's a cop, she's a mom. But I think what we've seen so far is other than football, which by the way, Thursday night football came in roaring as we expected on

And that's partly because it's really hard to look at day of ratings anymore. People just

don't watch TV live the way they once did, which is why the networks are really trying to convince us to wait, take a beat, don't look at those first night numbers, wait a couple days, see how the DVR and VOD numbers do, and then report how the shows are doing.
