Sinclair News Music Package

'''The News Central News Music Package''' is a [[television news music]] package composed by [[Stephen Arnold]]. It features numerous cuts of opens, closes, promo bumpers, stingers and promo beds.

Much like [[The NBC Collection]] or [[The X Package]] by Frank Gari, this package is solely used for a specific type of station. The package was composed in 2002 for [[Sinclair Broadcast Group]]-owned News Central affiliates.

It carries a signature similar to one of Arnold's other news packages, [[U-phonix]].

The package is being phased out and replaced by [[Frank Gari|Gari Communications']] [[Daily News (news music)|Daily News]] for all of its stations.
