Big Country News 435 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 In an interesting move CBS 46 has dumped the CBS Enforcer in favor for High Velocity. The graphics remain the same though Just heard it and it doesn't fit in the least. Fist WXIA uses three packages at once and now WGCL drops Enforcer for a totally out-of-the-blue package. Atlanta, everyone. They also dropped Bill Ratner for the always terrible Brian Lee.
channel2 982 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I don't think he's terrible, myself, I just think his "young" sound is a bit tired at this point.
Guest Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Creative Director is the same guy who dumped KTVU's 20+ year classic music package for 615's Icon News... so... not surprising.
mike91 67 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. That's all this move is.

skbl17 188 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 What has happened to this TV market in the last year? Three of the four English-language stations look pathetic in their own ways. Gannett's apparently dealing with a mutiny in WXIA's creative services department, as the station now uses not one, not two, but three different music packages (This is Home, This Is The Place, and Locals Only) and three different graphics packages (a Hothaus-esque pack, the 2012 Belo pack, and the 2012 G3 pack). WAGA's O&O graphics are as terrible as ever, and WGCL is being WGCL again. For all the flack I give its "if it bleeds it leads" style of journalism, at least WSB is stable.
ToriElectra 292 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah, I'm thinking some sort of sickness is going around the graphics depts. that was spread by WSB to direct everyone else to them. Like, make the viewers so ticked off by all the inconsistency they'll head for WSB, because as you said they're stable.
jbnews 344 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I heard High Velocity v2 on newsmusicnow.com this morning. I like the package.
demone86 5 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Yes High Velocity v2 would work with their graphics better, but they choose to use version 1 which seem to make them sound subtle. In most part it does not sound that bad compare to their sister station in Hartford using the Enforcer-Advantage theme.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I watch WFSB's live steam everyday, it's not bad... it's good
T.L. Hughes 901 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The fact that WGCL as well as the Raycom stations are dropping these Gari packages is a little peculiar, considering it came not long after Warner-Chappell acquired the Gari Music assets. Is this just a coincidence, or is it going to be like the short-lived Stephen Arnold exodus of 2007? At least, in that case, there was a reason why stations dumped Arnold's packages (luckily, he gained new clients not long afterward). But in this case, unless the Raycom case is just part of a group deal... I don't know.
toxictwister00 25 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 High Velocity actually sounds pretty good with the current graphics package if not a hair better than Enforcer imo.
MikePulse 318 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 It's glitchy, but I think we can make it out.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Live stream changes quality but it's their fault for not manually forcing it, and I'm sure it glitches on the phone automatically but not on a computer.
rah6448 21 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 What I can make of that YouTube clip is that they're using the same cut as KATV uses for "Channel 7 News Daybreak". That particular one is the third in on the main "High Velocity" sample on the SouthernMedia NMSA, and that cut is from V.1.

But in this case, unless the Raycom case is just part of a group deal... I don't know. Raycom dumped Gari before Warner-Chappell acquired the Gari assets. Gari didn't have a catalog to sell anyway. Snippits is that Gari dumped their assets to WC while there was still assets to sell.
