“We had some tough choices. We needed branding that can reinforce the fact the station was changing – but also could see us through an evolution process to a name change in the Spring and the News/Sport/Travel/Weather sequences were a logical place to start. Newsbeds.com found us the right package; and delivered on time. The elegant and sophisticated sound of our music package reflects that investment – for no investment. Really – who’s STILL using library?”
