The X Package
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The X Package
The X Package is a television news music package composed by American musician Frank Gari. The package, along with its sister The X-2 Package, features up to 120 cuts of opens, closes, bumpers, stingers and promo beds in a bold action news format.
The X Package was commissioned in 1999 by Fox-owned and operated station (O&O) KTTV/11 in Los Angeles. It features the 20th Century Fox anthem at the beginning of some of the cuts, including the main news open, and is only marketed to Fox's local stations. 13 stations have used the X Package at some point in time, and 12 of them still do as of January 2006, including KTTV.
Gari's Good Day package was originally part of the X Package; it is currently marketed as a separate package.
