KSAT drops "The One & Only" for "Adrenaline"

Poor execution by KSAT IMO, but more concerning, since the WCPM acquisition, this makes me wonder if anyone is left from Gari to do updates to anything. Unless you're a green CSD with no knowledge of the market and the station history or you're forced to by corporate, you don't just blow up a hook synonymous with the station and the brand for 20+ years.

 

The Enforcer V2 updates are clearly 615 and I wouldn't hate if they took over updating or V2ing Gari's recent stuff, but this may be the end of an era for more than KSAT.

Kinda worried about WPLG than if KSAT has dropped The One & Only since they've used the package in one itieration or another since 1993.

Fixed. KSAT used a different theme in 1993 before going with The One and Only in 1994.

Beyond the music, let's talk about the poor production quality of the newscasts featured in the above clips. The clueless 9 am open. The 6 pm open where the wrong story was featured on the video wall. Ouch. And they're number one?!?

Look at the competition; or more precisely, their ownership....

Not good.

 

Which recent resurrection was most surprising?

- WLNS bringing "Millennium News" back from the dead in 2015 (not used from 2009-2015)

- The Morgan Murphy Washington cluster bringing back "Rainmaker" from the dead in 2016 (not used in any meaningful way from 2003-2016)

- KOLR bringing back the WGEM theme back in 2013 (after no use from 2007-2013)

- This (after WLFI last used Adrenaline in 2010)

Don't forget WBRC switching from the OSI O&O theme to the X-2 Package in 2010, then to, of all things, the X Package a year later.
