Name That News Package – Guitar Giveaway!
Hey, you. Wanna win a guitar? We’ve got two chances for you to win!
Based on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s favorite guitar, the SRV Strat is made for Texas Blues, with the same features as his “Number One”. Featuring three Texas Special single coil pickups, similar to the original 1959 pickups.
Straight from Stephen’s collection – a 15 year old, slightly abused 2000 Fender Artist Series Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster could be all yours. To enter, just listen to the demo of our latest news music package, then leave a comment below suggesting a name for the package (serious suggestions only, please). We’ll print out all the comments and put them in our famous fishbowl. We’ll then draw a comment at random, and that person wins the SRV guitar!
We’ll also choose our favorite suggestion for the package name, and whoever suggested it first will win this 2014 60th Anniversary American Fender Stratocaster.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Strat, Fender did a 1 year limited run only in 2014 featuring a SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY NECK PLATE. A great tribute to a legendary instrument. Killer guitar. Killer sound.
So take a listen to the package, leave us a suggestion, and cross your fingers. With a little luck and a clever name, you could win both guitars!
please note: all comments are moderated before approval and can take up to 24 hours to appear.
“Discovery”
” Sammy days”
My suggestion is “Perpetual Vim” which means “lasting life” showing how this could be a long-lasting package because of the uniqueness!
“Propel”
“O-2” The chemical symbol for Oxygen – This package brings a breath of new air into the current news music scene.
“Uncognito” A play on words to show this package is not a secret but rather a piece of music stations will want to present to their viewers without pressing Ctrl+Shift+N.

Title: “Revolution”
Break The News
Winner
I like the way each track has it’s own sound and energy. Unlike most packages that sound exactly the same from cut to cut minus an instrument, I almost thought I was listening to different packages. My name suggestions are:
1. Synergy
2. Synergize
3. Alliance
“Breaking Muse.”
Implies urgency, intensity and creativity, and who doesn’t enjoy a good pun?!
Also, “Intensity” suits it rather well too.
S.A.M.S. Stephen Arnold Musical Symphony
“Here’s What’s Happenin”
Compelling intensity that evokes the promise of TRUTH ON DEMAND
“Mediums”
News Elements
good hard hitting news theme.
“Momentum”
I think it should be called “Fuel”. Short and memorable name, and signature that drives emotion.
As a secondary pick I’d go with “Vitality”
The name should be 1) WSB News 2) WSB Local 3) Atlanta Force
The Sound of Life
1. Command
2. Unstoppable
3. Authoritative
blue hills
Zenith Platform
“Fast Forward”
“Let’s fast forward to the latest on this breaking news investigation.”
“Let’s fast forward to the very latest on this severe weather situation.”
I like it…how about:
Engage
1) Soundsations
2) Newzic 2015
3) The Pulse
“LIve, Local, Late-Breaking”
“Stratocaster.”
“News Synergy”
A Tradition Of Excellence
MetroBeat
The Intrepid Report
When I first heard this theme, it is a theme that I looked real forward to hearing. I have a couple of suggestions for the name – (1) “NewsPoint” and (2) “Sledge Hammer”.
Walking on Treetops
“Divergence” or “Surge” feels like they fit the tone of the package. To be powerful and different from the other stations.
Three Chords & The Truth
It’s tough to think up a good name for WSB 2015 News Theme. I like some of the other suggestions, like Reliable Sources and Compass. A suggestion I’d like to throw out… Truth Seekers. I wouldn’t recommend recycling news theme names, like The One & Only, Action News, Pinnacle, News Leader, and/or The Edge, to name a few. Hopefully the name will be something original, and something that sticks.
Universal groove
“Universal Vibe”
Advantage
It’s driving with a notable impact…I’d call it “NewsPunch”
“Electric Summit”
Because the dramatic and commanding tone of the package represents a sound synonymous with the top stations around the United States, with an added twist of electric guitar notes.
Endurance
Signals
Inflow
“First at the scene”
It’s what the four note signature sounds like around the 4 second mark in the video.
I’d thinking the classic rock route and going with “Thunderstruck.”
“Resonance” — for the sonic qualities this package already has and the profound impact that stations will make while using this music 🙂
To me it sounds like you’re on the move, like you are searching.
“driving forward”
Driving forward for the answers,for the facts,for the truth.
Whatever it gets named, very good package indeed, nice work SAM
News in the key of Awesome.
“Visions”
I was thinking about two names: “The Pulse” and “Compass”.
The great suggestions just keep coming. Thanks everyone!
“Newscape”
Altitude.
“Bring your sound to new heights.”
Progression
This package is pure, unrelenting intensity…pristine production with a raw, visceral undercurrent!! The top notch percussion and very cool choice of instrumentation makes it a real standout. As I’ve said it before, this package sounds like it belongs on the silver screen! My name suggestions are based on the urgency, intensity, and focus of this commanding news package: GROUND ZERO, Latitude, and Revelation.
Synthsationalized News
Cascade
On The Spot
genesis the (beginning)
Sweet precision
News Buzz
Java
City Beat
Listened five times… every time I hear the signature four notes I find myself saying “I am thir-sty”, with the staccato at the end serving as exclamation points. So there you have it… The “I Am Thirsty” Package.
Seriously, I think you should call it “Verve”. (As in energy and vitality).
Jet-Powered
Base Jump
Nerve Rush
Stamina
Axiom: a statement or proposition that is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true.
Life Beat..
City Pulse
or Mo’ on the Flo!
Perspicacity (Perspica-CITY). Gives a feeling of insight, knowledge and understanding from a station of authority.

A News Package Named Sue
“Metro” – it’s very clean and modern
Reliable Sources
Integrity
Here it is –
Intrigue > Speaks to the variety in the package. It also lends to the fact that the package isn’t to hard or soft but has a definite draw… wishing it was launched 6 months ago. I like it!
I like it!
“more-mojo!”
Get Hooked
smooth move
DetermiNation
“Frequency”
Bongo News 720. Because 360 degrees is just not enough.
Thanks for the great response everyone – keep them coming!
Being that our station is “Your Connection”, I like Brett Kenyon’s idea. But I like this one better: “Power Play” 🙂
Watch This!
Bottled Adrenaline
Premios News Maximus!
When I heard it I felt ‘Endurance.’ W2G Suzi Mahe, you beat me to it!
Since ‘Endurance’ has already been submitted my suggestions is: Shoryuken**
Eat your heart out Capcom…
Resolve
“Now’s the Time.”
The melody almost sings “Now’s the time for [any two-syllable fill in].”
+1 right here.
Hot Spotlights
“Up-Draft”
It’s a great bed of music. Powerful and Grand.
I say name it: React
Nice!
INFOTIME!!!
Not sure if I can suggest more than one, but here are 3:
1. The Expert [alive with definition, a leading signature and riff, overall great presence]
2. Morphotic [another great album addition to the SAM collection]
3. Superium [power in the music that speaks to each category extremely well]
My sole suggestion (if only allowed one) would be “The Expert”.
Bongo Beat Street
Endurance
Domination
InspiratumNotos – An inspiring wind
iTech Z130

Boom!
Title it: “I take the evening news more seriously with drum fills”
Fire in the Hole
ACTION NEWS NETWORK PACKAGE
“IT’S ALL IN THE ACTION”
“Dynamo”
“Odyssey”
StratoSAM 🙂
Reckless Abandon

Yeah, cool!
NEWSOT Package.
I had one of these SRV strats years ago and I miss it almost every day. Fingers crossed!
Unto the Breach
Current Waves
News Dominator
It’s all pretty animated and non-stop.
My title suggestion: Go Time!
I think this should be called the “LEADER” package. It sounds very driven and powerful. It also screams “serious” yet conversational… which is what you want a “leader” to be. Every station wants to be the market leader in their respective cities, and I also think the name would sell the package as well.
I like it, Willie!
