Chief-O 34 Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 See above post. If I had the money and say-so, I'd probably have my old high school using it. 615's best, I think.
KKyuubi 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Absolute News - Non-Stop Music WJBK is the only one still using it...and unfortunately: THEY'RE A FOX O&O!
Ntropolis 598 Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Several of the Non-Stop packages are underrated... Primetime News, Power News, Total News, and Monster News. Also, the Tuesday Productions themes.
milklikesubstance 11 Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I'm a big fan of 615's Magnum and Palmer's FAT Package.
who?cares 255 Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 My personal favorite is Right Here, Right Now by 615.
AdamTheJ 90 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Two Gari themes seem underrated to me, though I assume no one likes either one: Hometown News. Since it debuted in 1995, only one station, KPRC, has used it. Not sure why all the other stations seem to overlook this theme. It isn't that bad at all. The Paramount. It would work well on just about any station. IMO, it would be perfect for WPTY/WLMT (ABC/CW) in Memphis. The Image News "B" Package. It was an alternative the "A" Package for the H-A stations before the firm created a theme from Jerome Gilmer. Of course, both Image News packages are not limited to just the H-A stations. In fact, in my market, West Palm Beach, FL, WPEC is still using this theme, as they have since January 2000. I'm sure, however, it might change to CBS-Enforcer-NG. Hopefully they won't use this theme. If they DO have to use another Gari theme, I hope they go with either Hometown News, First News (last WEWS cut), the or the "A" Package. Just don't go for Enforcer - NG, because IMO, it is so overrated on CBS stations as EWN-NG is on ABC stations. Speaking of EWN-NG, if I see Miami station WPLG use this theme, I will cringe. I cannot tell you what I would do if that did happen. However, I feel Frank Gari only wants to limit stations to NBC Collection, EWN-NG, Enforcer-NG, so he can retire every other theme.
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Several of the Non-Stop packages are underrated... Primetime News, Power News, Total News, and Monster News. Also, the Tuesday Productions themes. Gotta agree on the Tuesday themes. Also, NS2001 (it's growing on me) and Turn to News are pretty underrated; at least for Gari's stuff.
Chief-O 34 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Shoot----I totally ignored the Gari stuff. "It's All Right Here" is probably my most favorite from them, hands down.
jestbiteme 13 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 The Image News "B" Package. It was an alternative the "A" Package for the H-A stations before the firm created a theme from Jerome Gilmer.

Image News is the syndication title for the A Package; The B Package just became known by it's legal title. There is no "Image News B Package." They are two entirely different things.
AceHawk447 17 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 NBC4NE is right about Hometown News, and I would concur...that was the first theme that I thought of when I saw this thread. I am sure that a few other Gari themes, in true Gari fashion, could be customized with the Hometown News sig, especially Enforcer and the package currently in use at KPRC, Advantage. As for other underrated Gari themes, I would agree about NS2001 and the B; I'd also include Champion NS (yet another theme that can accommodate the Hometown News sig) and Great News (at least these days).
sg9018 10 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Many Edd Kalehoff music packages are underrated, WCBS Grand(Grandeur),Nightcast, Dayna,Eyewitness Primetime,WJBK -Evening News,Major Theme and Industrial Strength as NewzPimpin said. I only wish that Edd Kalehoff music packages as used by more stations.
capsgm2002 65 Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 I agree on the Tuesday themes as well, and I'll go further back with the unknown "It's All Right Here" package, used mostly on Gannett stations in the late 70's-early 80's.
OKCEyewitnessNews5 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Most underrated Gari package: Hometown News Most underrated 615 package: The Unexpected Most undrrated Arnold package: The Spirit
Guest Junk Junk Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 What about News 2000 by Music Partners? (WSB) A part of me died a little when News 2000 was introduced. I think that its predecessor (Image VIII by Newsmusic Central, used from 93-98) was a far superior package.
NAN 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I love Interceptor by 615. It was originally created for WCCO in 2003, and they only used it for two years. They should have stuck with it, their whole image was much better during that period I think. Right now the only stations using it are WRIC and KENS.
jdcnow 14 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I love Interceptor by 615. It was originally created for WCCO in 2003, and they only used it for two years. They should have stuck with it, their whole image was much better during that period I think. Right now the only stations using it are WRIC and KENS. I love Interceptor, too. One of the things I thought about was why Belo couldn't had 615 make Interceptor with the Spirit (WFAA) musical signature. I think it would have been nicer than to have 615 create Propulsion. I will say that Propulsion is a good package, though.
