What's Old, is New Again
First, I know it's been a very long time since I updated the blog. Sorry about that.
I wanted to talk about our new look and new sound. Last night, after the Super Bowl we unveiled a new graphics look and a new news music package. However, if you are a long time viewer of Channel 19, you will probably notice the new music sounds a lot like the old music we once used.
From 1992 until 2002, we used a news music called Palmer News Package. It was originally written for WBBM, the CBS station in Chicago. The familiar "hook" in the music, actually has words, "Chicago I Love you, Chicago my Home." It has become one of the most famous news music packages ever written.
In the late 1990s, a company called Gari Communications updated the Palmer News Package. They renamed it "Enforcer." That is what we are now using. So what you are hearing is new, but it's old at the same time. I think a lot of people came to associate that music with Channel 19. So I'm glad it's back.
If you go to this website, http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/ , click on STATION, then BROADCAST and find WHNT. Then if you click on the icons that look like little TVs, you can hear news music Channel 19 has used since 1975.
