Man, it seemed like for 1993, everybody except KABC and KCAL were trying unconventional news intros. I love those KCBS opens-- the hyped up music and the ALL of Southern California mantra really works, but they ditched those intros disappointingly fast.
As for KCOP, Real News was kickass, the closest to a direct American copy of Toronto's CityPulse, but thanks to nobody knowing it existed, it got neutered by May of 94. 13 really should've marketed it better, maybe done 24-Hour News Source style updates like CityPulse had (where they'd show the busy newsroom and you could hear the police scanner). And that's the clearest intro for that look yet-- I've been wondering who composed the theme for Real News, it's so badass and I'd love to have clean cuts.
