memnews1 25 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 As I was browsing through News Music Now, I came across the Enforcer package and decided to give them a listen. I got to Enforcer New Generation "Consumer"...and quickly realized that it sounded very close to if not exactly like WMC's (NBC station owned by Raycom in Memphis) closing music. Anyone have any input into this?

promoguy98 254 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Correct. That cut is part of the NBC Collection New Generation (NG 2) and was adapted for the Enforcer package. I worked for a NBC station when the NG2 series was released. At times, Gari has been known to use the same vamp / bumper pieces and will do a switch out of just the logo signatures. I'm not sure how well that works when a market has 2 or 3 Gari packages in use at the same time and one station realizes that they have essentially the same bumper or closing cut as a competitor. The Enforcer and NBC Collection "share" a few themes with the logo being the only difference.
rah6448 21 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 If I am correct, KSNV News 3 in Las Vegas also uses that NBC Collection cut for their morning news update opens during Today.
ToriElectra 292 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 And in the late 80's-early 90's, KTRK had a custom closing cut for the Friday 10pm, combining the NS2000 and "Turn To" packages. You can find it here:

Yup, this is really common among Gari packages, especially the ones from the 90s. I know there are some cuts of This Your News that sound like the original cuts of Image News.

I'd hate to be in a market, acquire a Gari package for my station, only to realize some of my themes are shared by a competitor, with the logo being the only difference. BUT.... but I could see it being fun to use a similar cut on the newscast or a promo every now and then to toy with the competition, especially if that rival has been using it for a while. It would still catch them off-guard, maybe get them steamed under the collar. Imagine the frantic call from them to Gari. Haaa
