ColDayNews 436 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 This is a general thread for the Fox O&Os since there isn't one yet... I figured I'd create a thread for Fox due to the continuing developments at Fox News and the O&O station group since the Ailes sexual harassment scandal began in July of 2016. Former O&Os (WJW, WHBQ, WFXT, WDAF, etc.) can also be covered under this thread. You're encouraged to create a new thread for major events such as Fox purchasing or selling a station, a new graphics package being adopted, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 #MeanwhileInOrlando... Obviously, with big Billi making himself at home here, Fox 35 has gone whole hog with with being WSVN Central Florida, slogan, teases, studio setup and all. But with transforming into "The News Station" of Orlando comes a different sound. This is today's 5:00 open; you can hear the bumper cut with a peculiar SoFla influence. But if you listen closely to the open... SOUNDS like Inergy. But it isn’t. And the 6:00 open has that unmistakable rock sound. Could this be the long-rumored Stephen Arnold Fox package everyone's been talking about? (As you can also hear, they still use the OSI pack. On a related note, I messaged Big 13 today about them possibly going back to Impact. From what they tell me, they have to toe the line, Skytower and Phoenix be damned) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2830 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So here's another KSAZ halftime promo pack, featuring the mysterious Aerial as well as the current KSAZ primary theme (during the Monday news teaser): This one does have the matching *open* as a sample: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 After looking through these newly uploaded vintage KSAZ opens, it's evident they're REALLY holding on to the mid-90s (that font). Here's today's Good Day Orlando opens. It's definitely evident this is a new Arnold pack. The rollout, if this is strictly O&O, is unknown.

MikePulse 315 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Confirmed. EDIT: The new music package, according to NMSA, is called “Beyond”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1028 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It sounds like it's been digitally altered. It definitely was--they cut every frame of dead air they could out of Chapin's VO to fit the open. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 ICYMI, WAGA has also started using Beyond recently, but only on Good Day Atlanta. I only have audio recording capability (no video capture card...), but here's a few clips from today, showcasing various cuts that may or may not have appeared yet elsewhere. 7 AM open - this cut is used on all other opens as well A "hard" theme used for the headlines at the bottom of the hour A long bump with the morning theme 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Is it me, or does it does it sound a bit like Strive? Not saying there's a connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2830 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 This extremely Arnold-sounding bump/stinger has been in use on KSAZ's news lately... http://jmp.sh/9xsQHTk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2830 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 This is KSAZ's current open, if you were curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 119 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Now WAGA Switched to Beyond. the next very likely to get it is WJZY, WFLD, WTXF, KDFW, WNYW, WJBK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1749 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 WTXF is already using Beyond for its "Breaking News" stingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2830 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Just caught a raw Beyond cut being used as a stinger for the B-block special report. I'm going to have to send a long, attachment-filled email to the NMSA. I truly think the opens debuted in September are "Beyond with Just You Watch the Best Signature". Good grief is KSAZ a news music mess, now moreso than most times. I believe KSAZ may have been the first station to debut these changes as they did so at the start of NFL season. Also, is it me or does this also scream Arnold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1800 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 In other words, Beyond is the new FOX O&O theme. The OSI has served well for 10 years but its now time for the FOX group to get a new theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
