We do know McGraw-Hill was the client. Transdiffusion, whose archive is mostly UK stuff, does have a Tuesday reel from 1979 narrated by Bo Donovan (!): The date on this item cannot be earlier than '79 as it includes two TV image songs from that year: WCCO's "4 Friends" (which was commissioned in light of the affiliation shuffle consuming everything else in that market at the time) and the WRTV theme for their ABC affiliation switch. The other TV item on the reel is KCRA from their brief "News Team 3" era (also as in this promo and this newscast). (It also includes radio work from a variety of stations.) The part that matters to us belongs at 8:15, when Donovan introduces News People by saying it was "for McGraw-Hill Television". The sample is sung for "channel 10", so it can't really be anyone else, not that you'd suspect otherwise with a San Diego shop...

Interesting they point out antenna and other options are available. Something that may shooting themselves in the foot.

1984/5 Colorado's NewsCHANNEL KCNC!!!!!

When you discover that CNN Newsroom at 4am on a Sunday looks rather good compared to their weekday programming that’s a terrible sign...

Since we just discovered KETV using KSNW’s 1985 theme, I’m gonna guess it’s a VTS or Tuesday track. Though it could be production music as well...

That is definitely the Cue11 Total News — though I never knew they had used it prior to changing logos. The music bed is from that package and is closer to the use KAPP/KVEW gave it.

Anyone know if this is a cut of Total News by Cue11 or a different pack (potentially also by them)? A really sexy open regardless.
