ColDayNews 438 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 This is a general thread for the Fox O&Os since there isn't one yet... I figured I'd create a thread for Fox due to the continuing developments at Fox News and the O&O station group since the Ailes sexual harassment scandal began in July of 2016. Former O&Os (WJW, WHBQ, WFXT, WDAF, etc.) can also be covered under this thread. You're encouraged to create a new thread for major events such as Fox purchasing or selling a station, a new graphics package being adopted, etc. 4 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 318 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 #MeanwhileInOrlando... Obviously, with big Billi making himself at home here, Fox 35 has gone whole hog with with being WSVN Central Florida, slogan, teases, studio setup and all. But with transforming into "The News Station" of Orlando comes a different sound. This is today's 5:00 open; you can hear the bumper cut with a peculiar SoFla influence. But if you listen closely to the open... SOUNDS like Inergy. But it isn’t. And the 6:00 open has that unmistakable rock sound. Could this be the long-rumored Stephen Arnold Fox package everyone's been talking about? (As you can also hear, they still use the OSI pack. On a related note, I messaged Big 13 today about them possibly going back to Impact. From what they tell me, they have to toe the line, Skytower and Phoenix be damned) 4 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/#findComment-186018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So here's another KSAZ halftime promo pack, featuring the mysterious Aerial as well as the current KSAZ primary theme (during the Monday news teaser): This one does have the matching *open* as a sample: 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/#findComment-186043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 318 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 After looking through these newly uploaded vintage KSAZ opens, it's evident they're REALLY holding on to the mid-90s (that font). Here's today's Good Day Orlando opens. It's definitely evident this is a new Arnold pack. The rollout, if this is strictly O&O, is unknown. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/#findComment-186066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePulse 318 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Confirmed.

TSSZNews 1051 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It sounds like it's been digitally altered. It definitely was--they cut every frame of dead air they could out of Chapin's VO to fit the open. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/#findComment-188248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 ICYMI, WAGA has also started using Beyond recently, but only on Good Day Atlanta. I only have audio recording capability (no video capture card...), but here's a few clips from today, showcasing various cuts that may or may not have appeared yet elsewhere. 7 AM open - this cut is used on all other opens as well A "hard" theme used for the headlines at the bottom of the hour A long bump with the morning theme 5 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/#findComment-188512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Is it me, or does it does it sound a bit like Strive? Not saying there's a connection.

Darius22 122 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Now WAGA Switched to Beyond. the next very likely to get it is WJZY, WFLD, WTXF, KDFW, WNYW, WJBK.

Samantha 2895 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Just caught a raw Beyond cut being used as a stinger for the B-block special report. I'm going to have to send a long, attachment-filled email to the NMSA. I truly think the opens debuted in September are "Beyond with Just You Watch the Best Signature". Good grief is KSAZ a news music mess, now moreso than most times. I believe KSAZ may have been the first station to debut these changes as they did so at the start of NFL season. Also, is it me or does this also scream Arnold?

TheRolyPoly 2360 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 In other words, Beyond is the new FOX O&O theme. The OSI has served well for 10 years but its now time for the FOX group to get a new theme.
