I don't know quite how it showed up since it's now vanished, but I was able to get from one of the university databases reading access to Back Stage, a (still extant) industry publication that had a decent amount of press releases on news music material in the 1980s. There are truly some gems and a few composer IDs. Tuesday There's a lot about Tuesday Productions work. Now More than Ever was composed for KCCI and debuted January 12, 1981. (1-30-81) The News Image was composed for KRON. (4-24-81) News People was written for a Portland station but rejected. It was Robert Rimes of the McGraw-Hill group who gave them the golden ticket. (Rimes...would end up succeeding Bo Donovan as the head of the broadcast division of Tuesday when Bo left to found Silvertree.) There is a mention of a strings and percussion-based package by Phil Davis for KSL that would have been have composed c. 1979 (it could very well be KSL '81). By this time, The News Image had some 20 clients, including the Seven Network. (9-17-82) WPDS '84 is Tuesday and it is part of a custom station image package. Reaching Out to You was made for WHBQ and debuted in the last week of 1983. (2-10-84) Fred Weinberg Productions of Stamford, CT, produced a "TV-10, The Winners" theme package for WTEN. Presumably WTEN '85? (5-4-84) Hmm...... (6-19-81) March 23, 1984... Is this WRGB '86 which WLNE once used with the tagline "We're Looking Out for You"? There's a new day dawning, and it's not necessarily in Boston. WMAR '85 perhaps? We have no KATU from this period. (3-15-85) The only other thing I have from this is that Tuesday did an NBC 1988 affiliate package, the Business Channel (KWHY) was done by Telezign graphics and 505 Productions; and WCIX had something done for them by FourScore Productions in New York in 1990.

Here's a AccuWeather forecast that will be accurate for sure. Reporter Candace McCowan is due in August. https://twitter.com/ABC7NY/status/1380110744730107907?s=20

KCTV's ND is out after just nine months. The next ND will be the sixth in eight years, I believe.

Joe Gazin is a Corpus Christi institution. No one will ever replace him.

The "USA NEWS" package by non-stop that was used on KUSA was used only as a closer for the 6PM & 10PM newscasts. The "KUSA 1995 News theme" wasn't used very long it was on-air from April 1995 (graphics refresh)--September 9, 1995 and used on the 4PM & Midday newscasts (11AM or Noon at that time), it was dropped as soon as KUSA took on the NBC Affiliation.
