Alain 17 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 A few days ago WPLG dumped all the hodge-podge of "The One and Only" they were using in favor of a pretty weird theme. I can only hear portion in this clip that is confirmed to be The One and Only. Thoughts? Possible off-the-wall updates?

Glimmer 282 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 If I were to guess, this seems like a hodge-podge of production music; that and it sounds totally imappropriate for local news (even in Miami) and seems more apropros for an entertainment show. That being said, the only part of the package that really works is the headline bed.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I like that theory though of trying to mimic WTVJ with the cool new young hip powerful music. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12709-new-wplg-music/#findComment-83512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 291 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 If they wanted that, they seriously could have commissioned someone who came down there for the country's biggest congregation of musicians who make "young hip powerful music" But still, its meh.

skbl17 188 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Oh god it looks like they're trying to be WSVN (then again, there are few Miami stations that aren't). Then again, I actually know what WSVN's music is and who composed it.. This, on the other hand, I can't tell if this is actually news music. I don't know if it's the short open or the teaser....

Jess 1115 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's all production music I think. That said, that open is drooly. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12709-new-wplg-music/#findComment-83537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 437 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I think when the original set of opens came out it was longer with a power on button and then the Local 10 logo lighting up and then the open. I don't like it either. It sounds cheap. I think they'd be better off going back to the reliable 21 year old One and Only Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12709-new-wplg-music/#findComment-83540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1232 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I...actually...sort of like the open...sort of. I mean, it's a good concept, it just needs to be fixed (a lot).

[yt]9paOSpLw400[/yt] Do you really know what the production music name is and who is the composer of it? On the NMSA website it will have for example: Production Music:XXXXXX by: Stephen Arnold or DeWolfe Music? The last I heard was WPLG was using Production Music: News on 5 from 2005 to 2006. Otherwise it has used "The One and Only" from Frank Gari Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12709-new-wplg-music/#findComment-83556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain 17 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 ... I don't know who makes the music. But there is a constant, they keep using a specific theme from "the one and only" to bump out from certain segments... I dont even pay attention to the NMSA as a good source anymore. I don't know what he's waiting for to post WTVJ's opens that I sent almost a year ago. There are plenty of opens without a VO-less theme sample Anyway.... [yt]c-O8kksxCBA[/yt] The One and Only theme in question is at 1:40s Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12709-new-wplg-music/#findComment-83560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
