tw-804 194 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Washington D.C.'s all-news station WTOP debuted its brand-new music and imaging package yesterday (Monday, June 1st) created by Seattle-based ReelWorld. Gone are Non-Stop Music's News Central and First News packages. http://www.reelworld.com/jingles/packages/wtop (click on "Listen to Full Package"). From DCRTV.com... Quote Listeners will notice "a bold new imaging package integrated with WTOP's news reports, traffic, weather and more," according to a WTOP news release. "Anchored by a vibrant and memorable sonic logo, the comprehensive suite of musical themes gives a sleek, modern edge to the WTOP brand and sets it firmly in line with today’s radio, media and tech landscape." WTOP collaborated with Seattle-based ReelWorld to develop "the unmistakable new sound" along with ReelWorld's co-founder Erik Huber. The package consists of 10 unique themes, covering all essential station benchmarks from top-of-hour to traffic, business, sports, breaking news, and more. Thoughts?

It's very modern and has a great ID. I think it would great on TV too.
Samantha 2907 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Surprised ReelWorld hasn't been handed any TV work. This is great stuff, even if it displaces some Non-Stop classics.
CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 This is amazing. I loved First News, but this is awesome. I love how with the Full Mix for the Top of the Hour, I heard something similar to claps, and burst out laughing, thinking C Clarity had popped up! Lol I would love to see this as a TV News Theme too.
detroiter313 181 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I know I'm gonna get some flack for this statement, but, maybe ReelWorld should do news/talk jingles more often....
TexasTVNews 1379 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I want KRLD 1080 to get this WTOP News Package.
Newscenter5WCVB 29 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Listening to WTOP driving home this evening, it's a great theme but it just doesn't feel like the same WTOP.
TSSZNews 1053 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 It's a nice theme, but it lacks a lot of the metropolitan melody of, say, WCBS's Man Made rebrand. I suppose with WTOP in Washington it doesn't need that same flair - this package does carry a bit more authority to it.
TheRolyPoly 2659 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Wow. This sounds like NEWS. A package that makes me wanna tune in to WTOP to get my news. If only more packages were like this. A bravo and an encore to ReelWorld is deserved.

RGSJenkins 435 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I think it can work as a TV theme, it just needs a good graphic package to match it. I love the sounders, it has a capitol feel, a DC sound if I may say.
sfomspphl 518 Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 I guess I'm in the minority but it's too cold sounding for my taste. The drums are too intense - too hard hitting to make an intentional pun- and you don't get the signature upfront. But then I didn't care much for First News either!
