NYNews 55 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 So it seems like WPIX is phasing out their much beloved news theme for a new on that I don't really like, what do you guys think about it? Anyone know who produced it?
StudioTech 15 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 So it seems like WPIX is phasing out their much beloved news theme for a new on that I don't really like, what do you guys think about it? Anyone know who produced it? I thought at first it was only going to be for the 6:30pm 'cast, but I'm not happy that they swapped out the theme at 10.
Harry Houdini 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Maybe it's the same putz that knocked-off March Of The Wooden Soldiers tomorrow morning too. A shame they stopped a 40+ year old tradition for football re-runs.
Jess 1115 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 So what, they're using the newer stuff at 10pm now too? Shame if they are.
cbs2news 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Here's the new WPIX news theme and close.
Jess 1115 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 ugh. It's just... there. I kept hoping for the signature to pop in but it didn't. Hopefully they'll reverse that decision.
DMA 136 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I agree the music is awful...they occasionally use a new headline bed with the WPIX News theme signature, it sounded pretty good. I wonder why they don't use that. As an aside, that live view of 42nd street almost makes the studio look like a streetside studio!
Jess 1115 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Like, that set is awesome... and I think the theme is trying to be awesome. They just need to use a cut with their signature or reinstate the classic theme. Also I noticed... they actually changed the closed captioning plug! It was Dodge for HOW many years? I wonder if that's one of the reasons they changed it...
AceHawk447 17 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I concur, that new theme could be better...does it even say "PIX?" A way better news theme for the station would (and should) incorporate both signatures, the one from the mid-'90s to now AND the current PIX sounder.
IceManNYR 247 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 This new theme does not say news at all. It sounds grunge rock from the 1990's. Any chance they will go back to the previous music.
kjohnson 17 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Wow. I was hoping when I moved to NYC, at least something would be familiar. That theme isn't very good. Bring back the old one. That "theme," if you can call it, doesn't appear to have signature. It sounds like Grunge noise.
IceManNYR 247 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Tonight at end of the 10pm newscast they used the old theme song and it was much better then that grunge rock thing they use weekdays.
StudioTech 15 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Tonight at end of the 10pm newscast they used the old theme song and it was much better then that grunge rock thing they use weekdays. They've been using the old theme on the weekend 'casts for a few weeks now.
