KSAZ

[Samantha 2895]

Is this Fusion News? In February, when the Fox O&O graphics were updated, KSAZ which had been using its custom Fusion News package pretty much throughout the O&O graphics eras beginning in 2006, stopped using it for opens.

 

However, with KSAZ's new set came a new open (3D crazy, you can see the animation at 0:20 in the video) and new open music. It's clearly based on the Fusion News five-note signature (which is designed to match up with the station slogan Just You Watch the Best).

 

This is the only version of the promo I can find. At the beginning is clearly the 5-note signature. But this package doesn't sound like what KSAZ's used instrumentally.

 

I wonder if this is an update to the package or a successor to it. Possibly even the same package: KSAZ's using a cut from Streaming News for sponsor tags over 11 years after the package was dropped, and KSAZ has used the Fox O&O theme alongside Fusion News for most of the past 7 years.

 

Here's the video:
