jbnews 344 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It appears there are updates to Strive by In the Groove Music. (Possibly a completely new package? Maybe not, because it has the Hearst signature) The cuts are in use by WCVB in Boston. This is their 11pm newscast montage from early July 2015. At 0:38 it sounds like a cut I have heard from another package, but I forgot the name. Please pass along any new info!

jbnews 344 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Now that I listen to it, it is obvious that it was made for Hearst. The signature is very evident. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14536-strive-updates/#findComment-131789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1916 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Sometimes stations get custom tracks made. WISN has commissioned dozens of custom tracks since the Image News days. Not everything has to be some great "new package"... Someone at WCVB probably went "We want something that sounds more "ABC News"-y", if they didn't just take an ABC track and mix a Strive signature into it themselves. Just sayin'.

dpb 36 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The update is done by DreamArtists Studios, the guys who did all of ABC News' themes. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14536-strive-updates/#findComment-131829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpb 36 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The KFSN theme is also by DreamArtists. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14536-strive-updates/#findComment-131835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah6448 21 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Here's an article by DreamArtists themselves speaking of their addition to the Strive package, expanding on what dpb brought up on Friday. It's pretty interesting to note from the article that this expansion has been in the works since early last year, which makes me wonder what else could be in the pipe for other Hearst-Argyle stations: http://dreamartistsmusic.com/dreamartists-music-completes-the-orchestral-news-package-expansion-for-hearst-television/ IMO, DreamArtists' new additions (as heard so far on WCVB) add another level of diversity to the existing InTheGroove package, as the new cuts we've heard on here seem to provide a solid extra option for news opens.

jbnews 344 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 So WCVB is the only one using these so far? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14536-strive-updates/#findComment-132065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 979 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The KFSN theme is also by DreamArtists. Should've known. It sounded very much like their work to me. I'm growing very tired of DreamArtists' style. It sounds too corporate to me.

oklahomanewsman 210 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I noticed that during their Sports segment they used the same set that KOCO uses for their sports segments. I wonder if the other Hearst stations are using the same set for their sports segments?

LoadStar 364 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I noticed that during their Sports segment they used the same set that KOCO uses for their sports segments. I wonder if the other Hearst stations are using the same set for their sports segments? Yes. WISN uses the same "virtual set" and I'm pretty sure there are others that do as well.

oklahomanewsman 210 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yes. WISN uses the same "virtual set" and I'm pretty sure there are others that do as well. That's what I thought.
