WGMB Fox 44 News at 9 open 2016

Описание: Here is a news open featuring a refurbished set, open, and graphics from WGMB Fox 44, the Fox affiliate in Baton Rouge, LA. All copyrights acknowledged. It was September 21, 2015 when the station, which had been under Nexstar management since the start of the year, unveiled a new set and other changes. Among the most notable include:

1. New news theme, "Inergy" by Stephen Arnold Music for open and "Extreme" for talent (ironically, Extreme was used by rival ABC affiliate WBRZ from its HD upgrade in 2007 until October 2016, so, for just over a year, the theme was being used on two non-related TV stations in the same market simultaneously--"Extreme" is used in the other Fox-affiliated Nexstar affiliates in Louisiana). With WGMB/Nexstar adopting "Inergy," Baton Rouge was temporarily a "Stephen Arnold Music island," in that all of its news stations, despite being owned by three different organizations (WAFB Raycom and WBRZ Manship Family and WVLA/WGMB Nexstar), use Stephen Arnold themes (WAFB uses "CBS Local" and has used it since Raycom adopted SAM packages en masse. (WGMB previously used the Fox affiliate theme by OSI and had used it since the station started with 9 PM newscasts in 2007)
2. New Fox 44 logo that is similar to that of Nexstar Fox affiliates KARD in Monroe and KMSS in Shreveport. Ironically, although the Fleur de Lis is used exclusively in the set for this and WVLA, it is gone from the station logo, after being integrated in 2001.
3. Talent bumper which mentions Fred Childers, Jesse Gunkel, and Amy Gill.
