24994J 5276 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I know that IE is not well liked among some circles (mainly due to security vulnerabilities); but I've never seen a message like this left on a site. Well, the joke's on them, because I'm having no problems with it on IE10 (beta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, that means we'll hear some more cuts soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah6448 21 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's cool to hear that new music from Gari is being released...but I'm bummed that I cannot listen to the music while in my Droid Incredible 2's browser! It turns out the new player on the NMSA does not work on my mobile phone when the old one did! Solutions, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well it's about damn time. Obviously they were no new Gari material last year, so this is good news. The bad news is why Gari didn't do a package for them four years prior and everyone had to hear that Rampage Music. WUSA & WCSH/WLBZ probably would've kept the Enforcer & Good News, respectively.

10Viewer 319 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'd like to see closes featured on the site since most of the themes have an open posted. "Newsbeat" used by WFAA has a really elaborate close and would love to hear it with the better audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Some nice discoveries recently: KCRG used "Tuesday C" and WTAR used "Part of Your Life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The Phoenix stuff is impressive. KPNX was going through an...interesting image change in 1992, that's for sure. Plus, Scott Chapin on KPHO—last year he returned to Phoenix TV doing voiceover work for KNXV (we knew he did KPHO but didn't have an open for it in the NMSA).

WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (For example, take a listen to WAVY 1985, it blew me away.) I saw the comment and decided to listen to the WAVY 1985 theme; and you're right. It sounds amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I am surprised we still don't know who composed the WAVY 1985 theme. I would guess Tuesday Prod since it sounds like their style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It's VTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 81 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Raymie is right; I've talked with VTS founder Hal Brown over the phone and e-mail, I even sang a couple bars of the promo song, and he confirmed it. KENS 1980s and WGHP 1984 were also VTS' work. Hal said WGHP 1984 was called "Newscore", but I'm not sure what KENS 1980s' title was. KENS 1980s sounds like it might be related to a promo song they used around 1984 with the slogan "Clearly the One." Another part of the theme seems to be based on a motif heard in the long close of an earlier VTS package "News 80s", which WGHP used before "Newscore". (NMSA lists WGHP as having used KENS 1980s, probably because of that motif, but News 80s and KENS 1980s otherwise sound to have nothing in common, so I'm thinking that WGHP really only used News 80s.) I sent all this info to NMSA when I first learned it; it's obviously up to him to decide whether to ever add the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Great info on VTS. I wonder if "WDAF 1987 News Theme" is another one of their themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 81 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That's the one some of us theorized might be Silvertree. Their old website listed both WDAF and WWTV as past clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymie is right; I've talked with VTS founder Hal Brown over the phone and e-mail, I even sang a couple bars of the promo song, and he confirmed it. Is this referring to the WAVY 1985 theme?

capsgm2002 65 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Lots of great updates over the past few weeks, including the ID'ing of some unknown themes. He's also confirmed the late Tom Sellers as the original Action News Theme composer, which went unrecorded on their update but he does have the longer version that was found and posted from a vinyl record. Really liking what the NMSA has done since the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Several HUGE finds on the update: "We Know What Matters" "KCTV 1992 News Theme" and "WFTV 1988 News Theme" composed by The Coast Productions. "WGHP 1984 News Theme" is actually called "NewScore" by VTS. WAVY 1985 and KENS 1985 have been updated to reflect VTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WGHP 1984 News Theme" is actually called "NewScore" by VTS. WAVY 1985 and KENS 1985 have been updated to reflect VTS. KENS used that theme way before 1985, try 1983, possibly 1982, around the time they moved to their current studios. Also doesn't sound like typical VTS, interesting find!

TServo2049 81 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 KENS 1980s being renamed KENS 1985 is probably my fault. When I e-mailed NMSA with the ID, I mistyped it as KENS 1985 because in the same e-mail, I also ID'ed WAVY 1985 as VTS. I e-mailed NMSA to let him know that I made a typo, hopefully he'll change it back to 1980s. I got the VTS ID info from Hal Brown, the guy who ran the company. Yes, their early-80s stuff sounds different, almost TM-esque. (Even though VTS' corporate headquarters were in Asheville, NC, they recorded their music in Dallas, and may have even used session musicians that also played on TM stuff.)

TServo2049 81 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Also, in case I didn't mention before, the Coast IDs came from Rob Barrett, who worked there before he started Third Street Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Also, in case I didn't mention before, the Coast IDs came from Rob Barrett, who worked there before he started Third Street Music. Makes me think that The Coast Productions never left because prior to KARE 11 giving in to Corporate Master, you see that music credit at the end of every newscast.

Samantha 2878 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Jeffrey's got connections. He's the one responsible for all these finds, though I pointed him to WFTV 1988. (The Coast, like its successor Third Street Music, was a Twin Cities concern. You might note that both KCTV '92 (which was made for some Iowa station) and WFTV '88 were picked up by stations in rural Minnesota (KAAL, KEYC/KDLH). This was a trend that I picked up on.) Speaking of which, I've learned something tonight about WFTV '88: it has a jingle to go with it, and KDLH's version is "People you can count on, KDLH-TV". Apparently WFTV was using that slogan, too! I think that's the fourth package I've logged with a musical signature of People You Can Count On (KTNV 1987, KLAS 1992, WBNS 1983, WFTV 1988).

TServo2049 81 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'll have to email Rob Barrett about it, but he posted the KARE open music on YouTube, and said he did it with Terry Esau. It's also registered in BMI with Esau as composer and his Puddle Hill Publishing as publisher. (Puddle Hill's address says "Terrance Gilbert Esau dba Puddle Hill Publishing, c/o The Coast") The KUSA theme is also registered to Puddle Hill, with composer listed as "unknown." Barrett definitely wrote them, but it was likely a work-for-hire situation, like how Chuck Loeb wrote the classic Headline News package for Score Productions, but the only name on the BMI registrations is Robert Israel. So NMSA may well be inaccurate in listing either of them as Third Street; they may even predate its founding. Again, I'll ask Mr. Barrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 869 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Third Street's website has audio samples of their KUSA and KARE music, so NMSA's probably not all wrong. (Also, click on "Colorado St. Bank"; it's a mislabeled cut of their KUSA package) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
