News24/7 3 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 WSB, Its titled Coverage. Has a contemporary sound with lots of drums, i like it! http://615music.com/core/news_music_demos.cfm
Ntropolis 598 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Sorta bland... doesn't stand out. Sounds like generic production music. Maybe it will have to grow on me. It'll be sad to see News 2000 go. Maybe sister station WSOC should pick this up... would go perfect with their blood-n-guts style.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I saw this on Newscast Studio and 615 Music, after 11 years WSB-TV might have dropped "News 2000" by Music Partners for a new package by 615 Music called "Coverage." Listen to it here (It's right on the top) http://www.615music.com/core/news_music_demos.cfm Here's the article: http://www.newscaststudio.com/blog/2009/09/23/615-music-composes-custom-package-for-wsb-tv/
Ntropolis 598 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Already a post about it... kinda got buried under some other threads though: http://www.packofseven.tv/tvnt/showthread.php?t=5969 As I said in that thread, it's bland and sounds like a generic production theme. I hear a signature, but it's not very distinct. At least it's not another three-note signature theme.

William 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I've only heard bits and pieces of the new package in promos. It hasn't debuted in/during the newscasts yet.
Que 73 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I like the first track that can be heard in the demo. It isn't that bad. A lot better than some of the stuff Gari has out now.
TennTV1983 807 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Some of the cuts in that piece sorta have a WFOR-esque vibe to it, but maybe it's just me. As much as I liked News 2000, this may take some time to get used to.
William 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 They switched to the music today. It sounds very odd not hearing News 2000.
KRAP-TV 146 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 If someone could vidcap an opening today, I would greatly appreciate it!
Ntropolis 598 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Some of the cuts in that piece sorta have a WFOR-esque vibe to it, but maybe it's just me. Some of the cuts sound like High Velocity V.2 to me...
William 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I just heard the 6pm open, it just doesn't have the same impact that the old open had. It's very mellow and almost boring.
10Viewer 338 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 WSB has had excellent news packages. The 1991-93 theme one of the best I've ever heard, along with "News 2000" and the Jerome Gilmer package from 1993-98. But this package is hideous. The first cut is OK, however there is no real 'signature' to it like "News 2000" had. Like others have said, very bland.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Here's the open, far cry from News 2000.
KRAP-TV 146 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 When are the going to switch over to the new graphics? I was never a huge fan of News2000 (the previous package was mint), but this one is really a dud as far as I'm concerned...
TennTV1983 807 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I was in the Atlanta area over the weekend, and so far, the new look has only been limited to promos and in-show teases. Whether or not the main graphics will be updated as well remains to be seen at this point.
skbl17 188 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I emailed WSB-TV a few months ago, but when I received a reply, the creative director said "We have nothing in the pipeline".
RGSJenkins 435 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Here's the bumper cut of Coverage and Chuck Dowdle's last day as sports director of course(12/18/09, check out that cake!)
XYZTV 0 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 We're the station that doesn't listen to Hearst Television, 'cause "No One Covers New Hampshire Like We Do" and we still use Image News. WMUR never used Image news... They use the same 3 cuts over and over of The B Package.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 WMUR never used Image news... They use the same 3 cuts over and over of The B Package. Sorry 'bout that, I was tired when I typed that.
