A3N 1002 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 For the past month or so, KSWB has been airing a promo using new music. Normally KSWB will use cuts from Trust by inthegroove for promos or even production music but this cut sounds very much like a 615 pack. I think it has some hints of WGN's pack in it. Could Tribune be preparing to rollout a new music package for its FOX affiliates? Video below...

who?cares 254 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 This could be the 2AM me talking but I kind of hear a bit of High Velocity in it. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14117-new-tribune-fox-music-package/#findComment-120743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That signature evokes Evolution to me. Instrumention leans more towards 615 though.

abric 178 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You are right Chesapeake, it does sound like Evolution. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14117-new-tribune-fox-music-package/#findComment-120749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 292 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yep, that's Evolution; it looks like the Spirit signature may rise from the grave. Or maybe this is just something Tribune planted to throw us off the trail....

Leavellebrett 85 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Not to get all music-theory on you all, but the second note is a half-step too high. The Spirit signature begins with a minor second and this beings with a major second. Although, they obviously got the idea from the Spirit signature, it's not exactly Evolution V.2 or Propulsion... I don't think... unless they just altered the signature for that instance, which is kind of stupid because the real signature would fit just fine.

TSSZNews 1051 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm leaning more toward a Propulsion update than an Evolution update--especially given the recent love for 615 stuff within Trib.

Â I've heard at least one Propulsion theme where the signature had five notes instead of six (the first in its NMSA sample), so it's not unheard of for 615 to take liberties with it. Â There's also a bit of a delay between the last two notes of the musical logo here. Â Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought it sounded not-quite-itself, though.

THIS. It's dumbfounding that Tribune is fine with the LocalTV Fox affils all looking and sounding archaic and outdated.

A3N 1002 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well there could be many reasons for why the graphics package has yet to make it to the former LocalTV stations. Do these stations have the necessary equipment to use the graphics? How many people is Tribune employing at their graphics hub? Plus, it has to be customized for each station- and there are quite a few of them. It's not as simple as snapping one's fingers and bam the station has the graphics. I'll end this by saying that I've seen a few tweaks in the weather portion of the graphics package. KSWB just rolled them out within the last week along with new weather maps/software.

A3N 1002 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Update: KSWB is using the new music for its Sports Final show.

Â KTVI is getting a new set. Unless there's another surprise out there we don't know about, this will be one of the first Local TV Fox affiliates to get a new look, music, etc. Â I doubt they'll stick with the O&O package because it looks like most Tribune Fox stations are moving away from it.

That's my impression as well. It will be interesting to see what package is unveiled for KTVI... a variation of the KDVR pack, the KTLA pack, or a totally new look.  Pretty sure that WJW will be next on the list after KTVI's set is done.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It's official, KSWB now uses Propulsion V2 (My favorite theme and wish it was back on WFAA/KHOU instead of that boring This is Home). FOX 5 San Diego is now streaming, so you can hear the theme during the newscast.

ToriElectra 292 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 And the Spirit signature has risen from the grave, like I said earlier. Clearly Gannett's attempts to kill it off didn't work; it's like Rasputin. It tooks three tries to kill that guy, and it's gonna take more than that to kill the Spirit of Texas, or in this case, San Diego.

As long as WNIR-FM 100.1 in Akron continues to exist, the "Spirit (of Akron)" package will never really be killed off.
