The Paramount (news music)

The Paramount is a television news music package composed by Frank Gari of Gari Communications. It was composed in 1997 and features up to 50 cuts of opens, closes, stingers, bumpers and promo beds in a bold and aggressive format that differs from other news packages. It has been used by eight television stations around the United States, three UPN sations and five Fox stations.

The package was originally intended for UPN's local stations (hence its name), but it has also been used on five Fox affiliates: WACH in Columbia, South Carolina, KOKI in Tulsa, WTVW in Evansville, Indiana, KKFX-CA in Santa Barbara, California and WFXG in Augusta, Georgia.
