The KRLD Theme Package AN106.7 is using.......

G

gj567

I have to say that I am not very happy with the use of the KRLD package from TM Studios. It seems like a very plain theme that even WDUN in Gainesville uses. Now, here's what I think they should e replaced with......

The package they were using at the beginning launch, which I thought sounded pretty good. The peppy "Capitol City" TOTH was unique and well done.

The theme package WEMP/WIQI was using before they stopped broadcasting from ReelWorld. No say what you will about Merlin, at least they had good theme music.

The WBAP package, also from TM Studios. This one sounds goods and has several stingers to use when you're about to go to commercial.

Just a few thoughts.......
 
Is there a demo for the WEMP/WIQI out? I could not find it on ReelWorld's site. I wonder the name of the package that AN106.7 used in the first few days of broadcast?
 
I think IQI/EMP used the KOA theme.

As for another theme they could use is IQ Beats's 1010 Toronto which sounds fresh but classic at the same time and very professional. www.iqbeats.com Just click on "News/Talk/Entertainment" and then 1010 Toronto.
 
I enjoy the package as a whole. However, I cannot stand the term "capitol city;" it makes me cringe. No one ever calls Atlanta that.

Might be OK for a Tallahassee or a Jackson - but not Atlanta.
 
I was just in D.C. and WNEW (CBS) has the best theme package....I can't stand what WYAY is using....They should go back to what they started with...
 
I would dare say this thread would not exist if AN106.7 was using their package properly professionally.

You CAN overdo a good thing!
 
The Houston all news station, KROI is using this same package. It has a more serious, less flashy feel to it. The flashy is good for a few minute, but not if you listen to an entire 30 minute segment or two during drive time.

Without a doubt, All News 106.7 is overusing their imaging package. They need to spend more time concentrating on the quality of their reporting and less time on playing sounders leading in to traffic, sports, weather, etc. For lack of a better word, the sound of the station is "uncomfortable."
 
I continue to be annoyed at this theme package. Believe it or not- a person recognizes what segment is coming up based on the jingle. YOU DON'T NEED A VOICEOVER! And please go back to what you were using before. It sounded classy and innovation, which represents WYAY well.
 
AGREED with gj567....Bring back the old....Let's start a "change the theme" campaign...
