- News Series 2000 Plus
News Series 2000 Plus is a
television news music package composed by American musicianFrank Gari . This package was based on an alternate version of theNews Series 2000 package. This package was made afterLalo Schifrin , who composed the "Tar Sequence" score from the soundtrack of the1967 movieCool Hand Luke , demanded an increase in royalties, causing the Cool Hand Luke theme and News Series 2000 package to be phased out from use in the early 1990s. Most of the updated themes from News Series 2000 was recomposed into the News Series 2000 Plus package by changing the instrumentation, avoiding any elements of the Tar Sequence score.WLS-TV inChicago was the first station to commission custom themes from this package in September 1992, and the station continues to use the same music to this day. In 2001, Gari composed WLS's current morning theme by incorporating this package's signature into theFirst News package. Before that, the station continued to use a morning theme from the News Series 2000 Package. Currently, WLS-TV has used the same music package longer than any other station in the city of Chicago.Other Clients
