"You have a really progressive, modern sound that's different from traditional news but still feels like news and that's what we were looking for, something to set us apart, make us feel young, energetic, fresh but serious. That's a hard balance to strike and you hit it."
Jason Keel, Executive Producer at Global Toronto Canada“You're not a composer or a big company that merely says "here's your product, you're going to listen". Our work together is a living breathing thing. It's a communication back and forth and not a preaching of here's your product."
