channel2 840 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Is it me, or does it does it sound a bit like Strive? Not saying there's a connection. The morning themes sound like they want to be A New Wish... 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. It was always junky and I'm glad it's going away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitTVNews 65 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So far, WJBK is still using the old theme as of right now. Not to mention that they're still using opens from 2012 and they've been using Chapin for VOs since like the late 90's or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1275 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 WNYW’s been using the same open and VO since 2012... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Also, is it me or does this also scream Arnold? That's actually production music from audiojungle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 119 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 nothing from KTTV yet. they aren't going to get morning cuts of beyond due to the Famous Good Day Package from Gari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now WAGA Switched to Beyond. the next very likely to get it is WJZY, WFLD, WTXF, KDFW, WNYW, WJBK.I wouldn't be surprised that KDFW is next to switch to Beyond seeing as how Stephen Arnold Music is headquartered locally.

A New Wish is made up of recycled NBC Tower cuts that never made the end package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed053 21 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm still waiting for WFLD to pick up the new Fox O&O news music package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 2688 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm still waiting for WFLD to use the OSI theme properly. Hey, I kinda like the higher-pitched and sped up OSI cuts 32 uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 119 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hey, I kinda like the higher-pitched and sped up OSI cuts 32 uses. actually they open with a Production Music track "Conquer" from Firstcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Full sample up on the NMSA. Needless to say, this is a good sound. (And yes, confirmed that KSAZ was leading the charge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachL 1 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Just heard this music being used in a promo for tomorrow morning's Good Day Tampa Bay on WTVT. I wonder if it'll debut there tomorrow? Other than that, it's still been the music from OSI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachL 1 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 WTVT has debuted the new music package as of 5pm today. Chris Corley (I think) has replaced Dick Ervasti. And gone is the Impact chime from the 7-Day forecast that has been around for 20+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet KDFW will use the new theme for Good Day DFW, but FOX O&O (OSI Music) to continue on the evenings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so happy to hear them! I even mentioned it in the Chatroom while I was in Bradenton last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Falwell 3887 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It was always junky and I'm glad it's going away. The OSI theme had much better staying power than the sorry Gannett Rampage theme, which was outdated as soon as it was implemented. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1384 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The best Fox affiliate music has always been the X and X2. It's too bad more stations didn't pick up the X2. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HulkieD 1106 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The best Fox affiliate music has always been the X and X2. It's too bad more stations didn't pick up the X2. Same. The X2 package brilliantly used the best part of the 20th Century Fox fanfare. Though there are certain non-Fox specific themes that worked great on Fox affiliates. Stephen Arnold's News Edge, for one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 840 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 X-2 is quite good, but so are the 2000s WNYW packages by Andy Zulla, and Stephen Arnold's really-underused Fusion and Fox '95. NewsEdge was also excellent. The Rampage Gannett pack is an odd spiritual update to Image News with mixed results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
