RGSJenkins 435 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 The last time "Adrenaline" was used was in '08 when WLFI in Lafayette, IN used it for two years and most famously WBZ from '03 to '05.

Georgie56 3304 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Good: somebody finally unearthed that relic. Bad: it doesn’t mesh well with the open.

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 What the actual hell. That is all. (Seriously though...what were they thinking?)

Jess 1115 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 More GrooveWorx packs in use, the better I say. (Though they do need to fix those opens.)

TSSZNews 1051 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Poor execution by KSAT IMO, but more concerning, since the WCPM acquisition, this makes me wonder if anyone is left from Gari to do updates to anything. Unless you're a green CSD with no knowledge of the market and the station history or you're forced to by corporate, you don't just blow up a hook synonymous with the station and the brand for 20+ years. The Enforcer V2 updates are clearly 615 and I wouldn't hate if they took over updating or V2ing Gari's recent stuff, but this may be the end of an era for more than KSAT.

Georgie56 3304 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 WBZ made Adrenaline work by synching the last two notes of the theme with the turning and whooshing CBS eye.

Kinda worried about WPLG than if KSAT has dropped The One & Only since they've used the package in one itieration or another since 1993.

Fixed. KSAT used a different theme in 1993 before going with The One and Only in 1994.

They're worried about WPLG, which commissioned it in 1993.

Greggo 354 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Beyond the music, let's talk about the poor production quality of the newscasts featured in the above clips. The clueless 9 am open. The 6 pm open where the wrong story was featured on the video wall. Ouch. And they're number one?!?

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Not good. Which recent resurrection was most surprising? - WLNS bringing "Millennium News" back from the dead in 2015 (not used from 2009-2015) - The Morgan Murphy Washington cluster bringing back "Rainmaker" from the dead in 2016 (not used in any meaningful way from 2003-2016) - KOLR bringing back the WGEM theme back in 2013 (after no use from 2007-2013) - This (after WLFI last used Adrenaline in 2010) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16715-ksat-drops-the-one-only-for-adrenaline/#findComment-215423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now they're using Aerial, which let's be honest, is just odd for a FOX station.
