WSB-TV gets a new package after 11 years

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.

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

I've only heard bits and pieces of the new package in promos. It hasn't debuted in/during the newscasts yet.

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.

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.

Some of the cuts sound like High Velocity V.2 to me...

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.

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.

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...

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.

I emailed WSB-TV a few months ago, but when I received a reply, the creative director said "We have nothing in the pipeline".

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.
