devswartz 2 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Nope, that's not a resynch request. I heard it with my own ears during the 5:00 and 6:00 newscasts today. WSOC has used its custom music Bold Branding News since 1996--and, for the last few years, WSB's News 2000 as a utility player--so Image News definitely caught me off-guard. As I don't have a capture device, I'll describe what I saw. There were no graphic changes whatsoever. The open used the same Bold Branding News cue with the trademark drone. The bumper cue was the high-intensity promo cut from the original Image News series. (Example below.) [yt]cPc7zeR3DS0[/yt] The close was the softer WCVB close circa 2002. (Sorry--couldn't find an example online.) I hope this is just a tryout and not the beginning of a major change. I love WSOC's current music. It makes them very easy to identify, and that's the whole point of a jingle. If you've never heard the close, you definitely should. It's below..though it was recorded VERY loud. [yt]ggCCDQ1Ck5I[/yt] Also, I'm kinda confused over why they'd even consider a change. They're a comfortable number one in viewers in every newscast except 11 p.m., when WBTV wins in viewers--and even then it's not a runaway. So either WSOC really wants to win the 11, or the demo numbers tell a very different story from the overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Why is Gari even still selling Image News? Outdated package, no updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
