WANEFan 1 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 ... and it's called Evolution. The package Gari Communications formerly refered to as Evolution (used by WREG) is now called Target News. The package is now on the Gari website, and it sounds so-so... just like anything Sincrap.

whammypower788 11 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Just like Sincrap is evolving into Sinshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Actually, I don't think the new Sinclair music package sounds too bad. I think it's a gigantic improvement over the music package that Stephen Arnold created for the Sinclair stations. At least on WSYX, a Sinclair ABC affiliate, it sounds pretty good.

TServo2049 81 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I actually really liked the Stephen Arnold theme for Sinclair. It's pretty catchy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I like it... catchy signature reminiscent of the old theme by Arnold (which was good too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonTVNews 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 WGME seems to use a number of different cuts with this new one compared to the previous Arnold package. Ihave to say that I like what I've heard so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYosua 1 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I think it's definitely an improvement over the Arnold Sinclair package. While WGME's variety with Evolution is better than it was with the previous music, I hope that they'll use a little more, particularly on the weather promos (they all use a thinner version of the cut about 1:43 into the sampler). Overall, I like it - it goes pretty well with the graphics and I'm glad that WGME is back with Gari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takingaction4you 4 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 This is one of Chris' better packages, I like it. It seems like it has the same powerful signature Stephen Arnold's had that will catch on after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain 17 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm liking it, it's a change in style for Gari, never would've thought he made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey Chris has gotten his act together. He may have have turned out a few stinkers when he was just getting his feet wet in composition, but now he's turned into a really good composer almost as good as his father.

Chief-O 28 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I too noticed how similar it sounded to Arnold's general style. Listening to the second cut on the sampler, I also noticed how the brass sounds similar to many of Edd Kalehoff's compositions. Yeah, this is probably the most "un-Gari" of their packages.....considering who commissioned it, it's not too bad at all. Chris has gotten his act together. He may have have turned out a few stinkers when he was just getting his feet wet in composition, but now he's turned into a really good composer almost as good as his father. Indeed. He's got some good packages [this one, Image News, Target News], but he's got some bad ones [Countdown...need I go on?]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 For Gari Communications, this package sounds very SAM (Steven Arnold Music). This package isn't that bad. It keeps a very similar tag to the "Sinclair News Package." My Gripe? Some of the tracks just seem slapped together. At least thats the way the sampler makes it seem.

TServo2049 81 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Listening to it, it does indeed sound like it's trying to imitate Stephen Arnold's package. Of course, considering that Sinclair only dropped the Arnold theme because of the huge monetary strain put on them by the SESAC arbitration mess, it wouldn't be that surprising if they asked for something that sounded like their old package. Nevertheless, it's pretty good, if not as good as the Stephen Arnold package. Say what you want about Sinclair, but it's rather absurd to be so prejudiced against them that you have to savage their news music just because they commissioned it. The Arnold package was one of his better works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
