You know the name, you know the music, and you know the opening graphics -- but this 1992 clip of Nightline is from TV3 in New Zealand: Meanwhile, the Australian version of Nightline used an interesting hybrid theme that combined a part of Cool Hand Luke with Score's ABC News signature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=2o_iHb53q-M;t=28

Not worth a thread but here’s WBAL’s 70th logo. They’re running a promo of their news and event coverage filled with archive photos and logos. They were founded on May 1946 and signed on March 11, 1948.

Y'all... check it out: https://nebula.wsimg.com/527ea4c42051bc1c7b87af5770ade007?AccessKeyId=66DF0260B5371BCE06BB&disposition=0&alloworigin=1 This opens up with part of the full-length version of this:

I wonder, when Ron Dylewski says Jeff Sutton did "KD & You," does that mean we also have a composer ID for the "tunnel"-era theme that has been misidentified as The News Image for almost 20 years? We now have at least four themes that need to be splintered off of unrelated packages from completely different producers in NMSA: KDKA 1983(?)/WROC 1987, KD & You, WAGA 1979, the early 80s Telesound NBC affiliate package (KSDK, WTVO, etc.). There's WROC 1981 too, but that has no composer ID yet. Is it connected to the KDKA stuff? All I know is that the WROC 1981 musical signature showed up (not the same recording) in very early AMC IDs which were on YouTube a decade ago, got taken down and never resurfaced. Oh, and a crazy thing about that We're 4 intro music that you think is Gari: Before I began corresponding with Bob Klein, it was actually labeled as Gari on NMSA! I forget if I got definite confirmation from Gari that it wasn't his work; I called him once in 2006 or so, but I have discovered that I no longer have the notes, assuming I took any back then - my Bob Klein and Edd Kalehoff notes are preserved but nothing relating to Gari. But I feel like if I had called him at that time, that would have been one of the things I would have asked about. The L.A. and N.Y. commercial music production scenes rarely overlapped (I think Gari did local affiliate stuff for the first Still the One campaign - remember how the animation showed up in a mid-2000s Gari demo reel? - and they sang a special Still the One '79/Catch 5 hybrid for WEWS, for which JAM sent a copy of the instrumental to Gari in NY, as related by Jon Wolfert), I would find it extremely hard to believe that Klein & would have outsourced to Gari. Doesn't sound like Gari to me anyway...

They probably based it on testimonials from "average viewers" like Bob, Sally and Susie, whom told them that they watched 10News over News8 and NBC7.

It'd be great! That medley is killer and obligatory listening! I've never heard ANY of the KFOR 4 Strong or KTSP The Vision campaigns — the full image song from The Vision is something I've wanted for years. There are additional campaigns in it... "It's WHP, TV 21, It's for Good" (WHP 1989 — sing the line!) "The Spirit of Joplin and 12 Together" (oh my gosh, really, Joplin?) "This is What Dayton is All About" "There's No Place Quite Like Iowa" "Look for Yours, Look for TV 12" (not sure where, probably KCOY 12 is Yours) The spoiler tag contains the broadcast TV portion of the client list, for if/when that site goes down: [spoiler=Peters Client List] WPIX TV New York City, NY WJBK TV Detroit, MI WPTA TV Fort Wayne, IN WAGT TV Augusta, GA WATE TV Knoxville, TN WOWK TV Charleston, WV WSPA TV Spartanburg, SC WDAF TV Kansas City, KS WITI TV Milwaukee, WI WOKR TV Rochester, NY WOLF TV Scranton, PA WECA TV Tallahassee, FL WWNY TV Watertown, NY WTVA TV Tupelo, MS WGXA TV Macon, GA WEHT TV Evansville, IN WPGH TV Pittsburgh, PA WSPD TV Toledo, OH WIBW TV Topeka, KS WXLT TV Sarasota, FL WCPX TV Orlando, FL WXIA TV Atlanta, GA WKZO TV Kalamazoo, MI WMBB TV Panama City, FL WTAJ TV Altoona, PA WEAR TV Pensacola, FL WBTW TV Florence, SC WNCT TV Greenville, NC WVLA TV Baton Rouge, LA WTXL TV Tallahassee, FL WHAG TV Hagerstown, MD KARK TV Little Rock, AR KHON TV Honolulu, HI KPNX TV Phoenix, AZ KUTV Salt Lake City, UT KHQ TV Spokane, WA KBAK TV Bakersfield, CA KLAS TV Las Vegas, NV KVIA TV El Paso, TX KID TV Idaho Falls, ID KTVO Ottumwa, IA KNTV San Jose, CA KTVL Medford, OR KECI TV Missoula, MT KSHO TV Las Vegas, NV KAMR TV Amarillo, TX [KEYC] TV Mankato, MN KOA TV Denver, CO KWCH TV Wichita, KS KOAM TV Joplin, MO KCEN TV Waco, TX KCOY TV [santa Maria, CA] (list says OKC, but there is a real KCOY campaign in here) KCST TV San Diego, CA KTSP TV Phoenix, AZ KMST TV Monterey, CA KFYR TV Bismarck, MT KOIN TV Portland, OR KOLO TV Reno, NV KODE TV Joplin, MO KULR TV Billings, MT KOLN TV Lincoln, NE KTWO TV Casper, WY WCKT TV Miami, FL WHIO TV Dayton, OH WTVD TV Raleigh, NC WJBF TV Augusta, GA WLKY TV Louisville, KY WAGA TV Atlanta, GA KOVR TV Sacramento, CA [WTOV] TV Steubenville, OH WXMI TV Grand Rapids, MI WYFF TV Greenville, SC WTVM TV Columbus, GA WBNG TV Binghamton, NY KMGH TV Denver, CO KSNT TV Topeka, KS KGGM TV Albuquerque, NM KENS TV San Antonio, TX KFOR TV Oklahoma, OK WCIV TV Charleston, SC WBAY TV Green Bay, WI KZAZ TV Tucson, AZ WMBD TV Peoria, IL WJKW TV Cleveland, OH WNGE TV Nashville, TN WIIC TV Pittsburgh, PA KWHD TV Denver, CO WLWT TV Cincinnati, OH WEVV TV Evansville, IN Greater Rochester Cable Rochester, NY ["WGRC"/News 5 Rochester] WCHS TV Charleston, WV

Let's see...taking some educated guesses on some of these here. * WAGT - 26 Power * WKZO - The 1980 theme * WJBK - 2 Together (which would make TServo right) * WGXA - That Macon Spirit * KWCH - Look of a Leader Needless to say, this is definitely very interesting and a potentially major find.

This is what happens when you hire college kids to do your on-air graphics

I don't think the person in charge of the graphics was expecting the Chiefs to blow a 21-0 lead when he or she wrote that lower 3rd.

A Christmas pic from the program's former home...

WWSB in 2002:

Never seen this before! (This is in Portugal. Italy's TMC also used the open animation, as seen in the second clip.) Believe it or not, this theme is in the NMSA — WKCF 1993.

Okay, so I'm not losing it. As for the blazer, I love that he always wears it, but that gold turtleneck needs to be burned in the video fireplace they sat in front of at the end of the show.

Merry Christmas from WTAE 4 News!

CBS Sunday Morning openings from '81 and '84 w/the late Charles Kuralt: First, the one from Dec. 6, 1981: Then, the one from Dec. 2, 1984:

Sometime in 1982.

Another educated guess 11 alive WPIX slogan could be from Peters too.

WOW. Many of our answers are solved.

And from the late 1990s, here are two opens to the New Zealand version of 20/20:

Merry Christmas from WTVJ 1977.

You are correct. I remember that mid-2000's video and over JAM sending the instrumental to Gari. Glad to hear your opinion over the "We're 4" news package. Unless I'm mixing two events up, which is very possible, I certainly remember hearing a laid-back, easy-going, rejected and/or demo image song Gari made for WNBC that was on a composite cd sampler followed by that Klein open cut. I remembered thinking to myself that the intro part of the open sounded far-too-dated to be on an early 90's sampler reel, but my history of that could be all mixed together! LOL My only other thought is that maybe a freelance composer, that also happened to work with Gari, assembled the tracks. That mid to late 70's keyboard sound over the bass loop in the intro reminds me of the vamp in the Catch 5 80's open and the first part of the closing theme in The One For All. Of course, it's all quite possible these are simply coincidences due to the same sampler/synth hardware being used during those days.

There’s also WNAC 1980, which is the same as WJET 1986:

Ah, yes
