Discovered composers & publishers of music themes
Info Junkie replied to promoguy98's topic in News Music & Voiceovers

Did somebody want All The News... and almost two minutes of it? Aside from an announcer spiel towards the end you gotta love the instrumental:

The 1982 set was NBC trying to copy Gannett... funny because they would buy WKYC 13 years later..

I think he was a Cox VO client. WSB has him on their 1980 open, WHIO used him for promos back in the 1980s, of course there’s WPXI and WSOC, IDs for KCPQ and KTXL, and he also VO’ed WTOG.

I updated WTVD back in January.

Is KSNW 1985 (though I think it was earlier cause KETV used it in 1983) also JAM? Has some similar sounds to WRAL. -
WTVG 1981 - Must have changed themes that week - the upload from 5 days before has a different open and theme: https://youtu.be/Su8q1n1MAyI

WALA in 1984 with the NBC Nightly News theme and a pre-WABC Bill Evans:

No. Just those two. This was also because ABC was going to the ratings top and NBC (then on KGTV) was falling to the bottom.

Possibly the oldest footage of an Ed Hopkins-voiced open yet.

Dave Kaylor pre-his days in the ‘Bus.

Early 2000s TVBD at its finest here at WYOU:

WBBM in 1991 before they went tabloid:

WNAC news, 1980: Why am I posting this? Because today marks 40 years since the April Fools prank where they reported that the Great Blue Hill ski resort was erupting.

A WNYT news tease from 1985:

Got more Albany goodies, here is a commercial break from February 1994 from WNYT, making me assume the now-current logo design debuted much earlier than I thought:

WXXA pre-the-logo-they-used-for-way-too-long:

From the 518, news coverage of “Hurricane Bonnie,” featuring Neal Estano just before he ended his second tenure at WRGB, and WTEN before the beginning of their decade long run using the WJBK graphics:

KWWL from 1983, featuring one of the earliest Jeff Ellingson VOs and a theme I’ve heard but I don’t know where.
