Raymie, I checked the NMSA and it was also used by KJEO (now KGPE) in Fresno as the "KJEO 1993 News Theme". EDIT: I did check both the "KJEO 1988 News Theme" and the "KJEO 1993 News Theme". Both of these themes had a 5-note signature which could be part of a package.

We take you back to 1988 where we feature the first minutes of a 10pm newscast as seen on KIDK-TV 3. It features a news open with an unknown news theme.

We take you back to 1980 and a rare look at WSAV as an NBC station during this period. A news brief can be seen at 5:19 and an ID at 8:43 featuring an unknown news theme WSAV may have used during this period.

Here is a WCYB news intro from 1994. Go to 29:53 to view the Closed Captioned grant sponsor before the intro,

An interesting KOMU news update from 1982. How about a KOMU news open from a few years before? We have it.

Hey Jim! The news open compilations are great. I have a request: Do you have anymore newscasts or news opens from Knoxville? Would love to see some more.

Here is some rare TV-DX clips from the 1980s. Watch for a WHOI news close from 1986 at 3:58, a WICS news clip with "Power News" at 5:04 and a rare WLIO news open clip at 8:41 which features a never-heard-before news theme.

Get ready to feel "That Macon Spirit" with promos recorded from WGXA-TV 24, Macon's ABC affiliate, during the early 1980s. More rare Macon television as WCWB-TV brings you a localized version of NBC's "Proud As A Peacock" promo campaign. An ID is included. "Action News 2, Where You'll Be The First to Know". Here are three promos featuring the news team of John Pruitt and Monica Pearson (then Monica Kaufman).

Here is some classic KOTA in the form of Art Jones morning intros. At 1:36 is a "KOTA Territory AM News" intro. These were recorded back in the 1990s. Here's a partial KOTA newscast. From 1987! It features an unknown theme piece which sounds great.

Here is a WWMT "Hello" promo recorded sometime in the 1990s. The promo features Florence Warner as she sings an updated version of "Hello West Michigan". You may remember her doing a promo from WEWS as she was seen on-camera doing a 30-second version of "Catch 5" in a promo. Hope you enjoy. What about a choir version of WWMT's "Hello West Michigan"? We have that.

There is no open, but here are the final few minutes of a WPLG newscast from 1981. Dig the closing theme with Thom Allen voice-over.

I don't think this WTAJ news open has been shared. The news open is seen at 17:40 and is a custom version of the classic Tom Sellers "Action News" theme done by Frederick Morden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=SyLUwXO62EQ;t=1060 Here is a WJHL news promo from 1985 with an unknown theme. Sounds like Tuesday Productions or Network Music? How about more WJHL? This, to me, sounds like a TM Productions piece.

I have identified the composer of the unknown WJBF closing theme from 1989. It was Score Productions who did a number of themes for ABC News during the 1980s and 1990s. The closing theme was also used on ABC News' Business World broadcasts hosted by Sander Vanocur.

hmaxhanson, it's good that you shared this video. The WOWT "Action News 6" logo font was also used for WBIR's newscast logo during this period. I did check the YouTube channel and have not seen any new videos. However, the cover picture is of three classic Omaha station logos (KMTV, WOWT and KETV) with the profile pic being a KPTM logo designed by Television by Design. I have to agree with you, because I believe some rare Omaha news content is coming our way soon.

Now that's rare. WBKP using "Move Closer To Your World"? That's interesting. Here is a WTSP "Action News" intro from 1984. Here's a "KIMA NewsBeat" broadcast from April 1988 with a neat intro.

Does anyone know what the theme piece is from Network Music? This was used on KHJ for their movie opens.

Here's some classic WAVE-3 News intros you'll enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9o0x0C46Ss

Here is rare WTEN news footage focusing on a snowstorm that hit the area in 1987. News open is seen at 0:17 into the video with ID at the beginning.

Here's more rare KOAT in the 1980s. It includes a news close using "Where You Belong" by TM Productions at 4:32 and a news open from 1983 at 4:54. The open from 1983 features an unknown news theme.

Gotta love Tuesday Productions, because they put out some of the finest news music back in the 1980s. Speaking of the 1980s, we now take you to KLFY where we feature an entire broadcast of "Meet Your Neighbor" as recorded back in 1986.

We take you to Knoxville, TN in 1987 and a rare clip from WTVK. There is no open, however, but features a bumper. If only I can find some rare WTVK news from 1988, during their CBS days, it would be huge.

Here are a couple of WNEP goodies from the 1980s. First, we have a news open from this period. And second, here is a WNEP reel with open included.

We take you to 1989 and WBOC-TV where we feature a set of commercials. At 6:22 into the video, a WBOC-TV bumper is shown and the theme they used at the time was Tuesday's "WNDU 1986 News Theme". Now, if a news open can only be found, this would get interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N0QU_RygAI Oh wait...I did find a WBOC news open from sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s. My guess is that they used a cut from Tuesday's "WNDU 1986 News Theme" to open its noon news. One more piece of WBOC material, a clip from a 1985 newscast with an unknown theme. Bumper is heard at :10 and closing theme is heard at 3:25. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udILX0jknIQ

Here is a KNBC Newservice broadcast from 1974 with open at 5:52. All thanks goes to Rick Thomas for these rare newscasts.

While looking around on YouTube, here is a rare clip of "WM News" in the form of morning news briefs with former anchor Jill Valley. The theme was also used on WESH for its newscasts in the early to mid 1980s. A news open is seen at 0:14.
