ColDayNews 438 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The package has been around since 2000, when KNBC originated it. it then spread to some of the other O&Os... if I recall correctly, the only O&Os who didn't use it were Philadelphia, Birmingham, NYC, San Diego, and Miami. - I must say, I love WCMH's use of The Tower v.2 and Chris Clausen's VO... So, do any NBC O&Os or affiliates still use The Tower?

appleachian 133 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 WITN just started using it within the past few months. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16008-do-any-nbc-affiliates-or-oos-still-use-the-tower-v1-v2/#findComment-186974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Plenty He's referring to V.1 and V.2 specifically. As for those, you can add to the list.

Ntropolis 596 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He's referring to V.1 and V.2 specifically. As for those, you can add to the list. As for other older 615 packages, Impact comes to mind. I think WDBJ is the only one that's still rockin' V.2. Most everyone else is using V.6.

C Block 1566 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He's referring to V.1 and V.2 specifically. As for those, you can add to the list. At least according to the list, KSBY has the longest-running continuous use of the Tower of any station anywhere. They even switched back to the original cuts somewhat recently after using some of the newer ones for a few years.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 When WVIT went with the Tower last year, I heard the V 1 close at the end of their morning news (they used V.4 for the opens). And heard some V2 cues for the bumpers on the evening shows. Not sure if that's still the case now.
