DMA 135 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Not a fan. It's not terrible, certainly better than any typical Gari crap. I like V.3 the best. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 254 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 the last good thing in my opinion 615 produced was Chicago's very own. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

clind 2 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Seems a bit more clunky, almost out of tune at more than a fair share of moments. I'll stick with my fandom of V.3 and its use on KGW in Portland. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1955 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I, myself is not impressed on v.4. It's almost like making some themes splicing orchestral & contemporary without being brassy (like v.3 was). And although many love v.3 (and some with v.2), nothing can top the original Tower. I hope WMAQ doesn't used this new installment. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45921 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnson 17 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 In my book, the best 615 Music NBC Packages are: Impact v.4, Tower v.1, and Tower v.3 (in no particular order). This is a meh. Way better than most recent revision of the Viper, but not particularly exciting either. It does sound like it works with the new O&O graphics, though. Might work better with WNBC than the current Gari package. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lampstein 107 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Their symphonic packages are bold, powerful, and memorable. Other packages they then roll out sound weak by comparison. They're perfect when your goal is to not have your graphics and music overshadow your content (which is respectable), but if you're trying to brand around an image or signature, some of their newer works may not be your best choice. Some of the signatures of new packages are a little complicated. I agree with some of the previous comments about Impact V.4 and Tower V.3 -- they are amazing.

CDubya87 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I like how this V4 really ties in some elements from V1, at least in my opinion it sounds like there's a few more V1 elements than V2 or V3 have. But V3 is really really good. A lot of 615's stuff is just amazing, and maybe I'm just weird, but I find The Unexpected to be good...I think if it's put to the right branding, the right VO and the right graphics, it's not bad, it needs a few more themes though.

Tyler 151 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Version 3 is still the best IMO. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain 17 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Call me crazy. Listen to that theme again and notice that the open sounds alot like NBC News Now's. Might NBCU have commissioned them for a new theme for WTVJ? That's my guess since the sales off. Also listen to :40 on, some elements sound just like the tease cut that was used on WTVJ until 2003 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-45970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain 17 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 There wouldn't have been time. You're right there. But there's quite some similarities to News Now. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4894-tower-v4/#findComment-46082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABCEyewitnessNews 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 There are elements from all the previous versions of Tower, & it sounds great! IMHO, this should make a great alternative theme to Gari's NBC New Generation 2.
