Guest NewsHound Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Well, much in the same way with Palmer News Package awhile back... The LAST station to use Millennium 3 has dropped it. http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#3,1,164 KYTV in Springfield, MO had used Millennium 3 since 1997, and just dropped it for "This is the Place" from Stephen Arnold Music. Seems like the end of an era. NMSA says that there is one station left using it, a translator in Springfield, but it rebroadcasts KYTV so I am assuming that one hasn't been updated on the NMSA. Truly sad. Millennium 3 was a fantastic package, 3.2 not so much, but the first one was fantastic. I know it sounds dated, like Palmer's other packages, but I am deeply saddened that KYTV dropped it for a mediocre crap package that is TITP. R.I.P.

Millennium 3 That translator is K15CZ/KSPR 33.2 - The Ozarks' CW. It carries KY3's weekday hour-long 7am and nightly 9pm newscasts.

channel2 979 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I appreciate 3.2 for what a late '90s aural time capsule it is, at least. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14810-rip-millennium-3/#findComment-140276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 890 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I first heard "Millennium 3" as a kid, when I used to travel to Shreveport for appointments at their Shriner's Hospital branch, back when KTBS used the version that incorporated the Palmer News Package signature. I didn't hear the original version until 2001, when I visited my now-late uncle in Little Rock, and heard it used on KARK. Of all the news themes I've heard over the years, it's my favorite. That being said, when Shelly Palmer sold his music library, even the themes that could still be syndicated today, like the Millennium 3 themes, pretty much sat on Warner-Chappell's shelf. No new stations licensed them for use, and the ones that were already licensing them have continued to drop them, whether it be due to group standardization or simple individualized rebranding.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Another one into the package graveyard. Hate to see classic packages continuing to be replaced by the generic guitary Arnold themes but I guess that's the way things are going now.

Kenneth Kissel 283 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I only heard it between 1995-1998 on WTKR. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14810-rip-millennium-3/#findComment-163393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
