KRON 1970s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObpxWGQ-2yY

KIRO news open from Dec. 1980. Not great quality. Can anyone confim they used "Classical Gas" by Telesound in the 1970s?

Nice compilation, but I think they missed at least two themes. Good enough, though.

This is a big find: KGTV 1986 newscast with "News 88"! I wonder if the "News 88" title is even accurate at this point?? Maybe a spin-off of "The News Image"?

I don't think this has been posted here. WJXT 1974 talent IDs from Dolphin Productions:

Portions of KFMB's ill fated "This Day" from 1986:

WTVN 1986 news open w/ "Spirit of Ohio" theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lq_MBzgrjE

Not local news, but a broadcast with one of the top broadcasters ever, Don Harrison, at Headline News in 1987:

KDFW 1976 news open: http://www.texasarchive.org/library/index.php?title=2013_03054

WOWK 1996 morning news. No idea what the theme is. You can hear the bulk of it around 22:24. Also, at the very end, you can hear an ID:

WTVJ 1986 news promo:

Very good info!

I wonder if Doug Benge composed the various WRTV themes?

I've been dying to find more talent opens from that era. It was WTSP's best overall image. Hope to find a full weeknight talent open.

Back to the mainland, here the first 5 minutes include footage from WFLA and a WTSP news open from 1990:

Wow, dig that music package. What a great close.

Wonder if he composed any other themes?

Was there any date associated with it? I am quite sure it debuted in 1983 based on YT clips, but I was curious. On a side note, I wonder if he'll ever get around to changing the WBNS '77 listing to Gavin/Connors?

OK, so this is really interesting: The NMSA has found the composer for the "WTSP 1983 News Theme" used from 1983-1989. It is not Tuesday Productions, as I long suspected. It's William Douglass Benge. Anybody know any information about this composer???
