Favorite Music Package?

Megatrax?  Videohelper?  You with a kazoo in the audio booth?

Where do you turn for music?  Any packages you wish you had?

My favorite has always been Videohelper.  Modern music with the funniest liner notes around.

I've also come to love Megatrax.  A huge range and a searchable website.

What package do you love the most when you're in a promo pinch and need that perfect score?

WFAA Looking for a Writer/Producer

Early in my career - I was shown promos from WFAA in Dallas. I was blown away.

Later, when I worked for their parent company, Belo, I loved seeing the creative that came out of that shop. Anyone who knows me well knows what high regard I hold WFAA.

Now, the station has a rare opening in their promo department. GM Mike Devlin is one smart cookie(he was the News Director in Houston during my time there) -- Dave Muscari is another great guy there. If you'd like to work at a station that still thinks journalism and great storytelling are #1... a station where the quality meter is dialed up to 11... check them out.
