From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The B Package is a television news music package composed by musician Frank Gari. It was composed in 1996 and features up to 100 cuts of opens, closes, stingers, bumpers and promo beds in a hard-hitting action news format. It has been used by at least 45 television stations nationwide.
In the late 1990s, Hearst-Argyle Television bought the B Package as well as Gari's Image News for its television stations. Hearst-Argyle stations used The B Package and Image News for its stations from 1997/98 to 2004/05, before using the Hearst-Argyle News Package composed by Newsmusic Central.
