newsteam13 394 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 One of my favorite news themes is the KPRC NBC2 Custom Package from Toby Arnold and Associates. NBC2 in Houston used that theme from 1988 until 1992. In this broadcast of Channel 2 News Nightcast from 1989, we'll get to hear the almost complete closing theme at the 24:48 mark Then for the 6pm newscast from 1990, we get to hear a different closing theme at the 28:29 mark, which is part of the KPRC custom news theme package Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/377/#findComment-255808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Viewer 334 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Very early WTSP "10 News" promo from January 1992 after the rebrand from "NewsCenter 10". Also, there are several promos that do not appear to have Gari's "Great News" and might be "On Your Side" by 615.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 On 1/15/2021 at 12:14 AM, Samantha said: Not exactly local news, but with plenty of interesting presentation: CBN NewsWatch Today for November 4, 1995, with a custom Gari package and voiceover by Hal Brown: My family recorded a lot of the 700 Club and a fair amount of TV preachers in general (comes with the territory of being a preacher's kid); and I've seen this intro for the news segments (this was during the period when CBN effectively treated the news segment as almost a separate series from the 700 Club proper) quite a bit. Knowing that this was a Gari track has me a bit curious as to whether a clean version of the theme might surface.

It's called the CBS-AM package, which KRDO was using in 1994 with (a) a lipstick makeover of the old set and (b) graphics. By this time in 1995, KRDO had just gotten a new set (with a new news open and graphics to go along with it). KRDO was still using the CBS-AM package, they just changed the cuts to reflect the new set in 1995. One year later in 1996, KRDO kept the 1995 news open, but they switched to another Gari theme, which was Image News, first used by Hearst stations.
