NMSA added a WSB news open from 1980, listed separately from "2 Steps Ahead". It appears there was definitely a theme change in 1979, based on this snippet: The first five seconds appears to be the tail end of a midday newscast, with "1979" on the chyron. I just wonder, is this the same theme as "2 Steps Ahead" or a different theme altogether?

I'm surprised "KSL 1981" hasn't been ID'd yet. It has a vibe similar to "The News Image" and "News 88".

Is "WRTV 1976" actually "Tuesday A"? Listen to the first :47:

WTHR from 1986 with open about 2:00 in with "People You Can Count On" a la WBNS:

Well, we know for a fact they did use Part of Your Life, likely starting in 1977, so I find it unlikely they didn't use it as their news theme. But no opens have surfaced. Yet.

"Mr. NMSA" told me that someone reported hearing "Hello News" around the 1981 Super Bowl on NBC. In a similar way, I know that WTSP didn't use "NewsCenter II Theme" as I thought they did. But they did use the "We're the Team" promotional campaign. This is probably the biggest find ever for the Tampa/St. Pete market.

Long awaited WTSP 1991 clip from the 1989-92 "NewsCenter 10" era, which had excellent production values. Shortly after this clip, in January 1992, WTSP debuted it's "simple red line" era graphics and a new set and logo

WJHG in Panama City, FL, from 1987: For a small market, it's very well produced

NMSA added a full sample of the "WKRC 1979 News Theme". Very dramatic late 70's theme.

I've been trying to track down that music used by WBNS from 1993-96. Must be production music. WBNS used the crap out of it in the mid '90s for opens/closes/promos.

WMT 1976 newscast:

WZZM 1977 open with "MCTYW"

I wonder if this KIRO image spot (starts at 6:14) features "In the Great Northwest" from 1979: OR it could be "Spirit of the Great Northwest". Either way, would be nice to figure out where that came from.

Columbus, OH, news clips from 1991, including a WBNS close:

WTSP 1991 news update:

WMBD 1978 news open: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=4737 The production values are superb! They were using all the video effects available. Great unknown theme. Also Carol LeBeau is the co-anchor. Great find.

WKRC (1979?) clip with unknown theme:

WBNS "People You Can Count On" image campaign song:

There's a WJAR 1985 news open at 12:24 on this video. It features the "WJAR 1986" theme that I assume must have debuted in 1984:

Great sample posted of KNBC's 1982-85 package by Tuesday on the NMSA.

Not sure where to post this... Nice update on the NMSA. An open from WCKT with "Count on Us" has surfaced. Would love to see that. Also, Gavin/Conners was finally credited on the 1977 WBNS theme.

Low budget news open from the former WYEA in Columbus, GA, with a mysterious Tuesday track:
