AJClementeFan69 477 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 This might be totally out there...but is there a chance that the WFAA 1992 Theme was done by Chris Crane? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=IYsTaLA8cSU;t=11 Something about the instrumentation in this close says "Crane" to me. As a counter-argument...it's otherwise unlike his other work. Who knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno... to me it sounds more like "The Paramount" (a Gari package intended for UPN stations in the late 90s, and only WKBD ever got a lot of use out of it-- WTOG and KSTW had their news ops shuttered shortly after they adopted the package), but it does sound a bit Crane-ish as well.

If it were a Gari piece it probably would have been included in that master list. Plus...Gari made such liberal use of elements from other packages that there would have been some cut in this that was part of a Gari "template" (searching for a better word here). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I just noticed the NMSA put in the WBRZ 1983 Theme under WFSB. Did they actually use this theme or was it a Klein & campaign? It's possible it was used for news, but not definitive. A 1979 WFSB aircheck has a very disco-sounding theme that sort of fits but doesn't have the actual signature in it. That would overlap with the "Land of the 3" campaign and all the promos within that aircheck tag with the "Land of the 3" theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Listening to the 1990 KESQ theme, it appears this may have been an attempt by Tuesday Productions to update their late 1970s "News People" theme (particularly the version used for the image campaign) http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#3,1,1507 (KESQ 1990) http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#3,1,240 (WRAL 1979 image for comparison) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 KDVR's Alan Koshiyama package has been given a name according to NMSA, it is known as "Questions Answered" http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#4,0,209 The NMSA has updated the theme with just over 4 minutes of cuts, and it is beautiful. Also, the KWGN package has been given the name "Colorado's Own". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCirq 148 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Since we're on that subject matter, I was wondering if anyone knows the stock music for the movie intro.

justin2kx 229 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I know this one. It is "Slam Dunk" by FirstCom. Also identified from JACO' YT page (i guess it's cuts that aren't on firstcom's site anymore i guess): Two nice cuts, one used for 'Cinema 4' intro for Venezuela's Venevision in the 80s. "ClockLife" by firstcom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=aLX2vrQYBTk;m=6;s=36 Another: "L.A Overture" used in ad for Montreal's CF Cable TV system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promoguy98 252 Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 This isn't really a discovered news package composer...... more like a potentially discovered musical influence that shaped some themes. Have to wonder if this song released in July of 1983 influenced one the main themes of Gari's News Channel and a theme in Gilmer's Image IV package? I also remember a sound-alike version on one of the first Megatrax CD's! I always thought the inspiration came from Flashdance, not this dude. Start from the beginning and notice the 8 second mark. EDIT: just noticed the ending starting at 3:46 is also a dead giveaway and sounds close to the tag of News Channel. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might’ve been possible. This was released around the same time as KCNC’s call letter change (which stands for Colorado’s News Channel) and WSB commissioned the Gari package itself in ‘83... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2873 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'm just taking a wild guess — it's definitely a library, but which one I have no clue. The Battle of the Video Games clip definitely means it was out by 1983. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's VTS Productions' "Looking Out For You", as used by KFDA & KSWO in the late 80's/early 90s. The closing piece is an instrumental from their image campaign, as used by CFTO in 1984: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthesea 292 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 This Phil Collins song "You Can't Hurry Love" (1983) reminds me of KCBS/WTEN's news theme from the early 1990s (because of some musical notes) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a Peters client at the time... I want to say yes. It goes along with their “7’s in the center, in the center of it all” campaign of the time. Spartan sister WBTW was a Peters client at the same time with Best of Two Worlds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
