WAND 10:00 news followed by Nightline, 1995 (after the 67th Academy Awards):

Update: they weren't able to find Reel #1, but they were able to send the other two reels for conservation treatment and digitization: https://digital.lib.ecu.edu/63045 https://digital.lib.ecu.edu/63046

So Radio New Zealand changed their tune a couple of months ago, and people were up in arms because it was composed outside the country.

Here's KXAS from 1984, with what appears to be a Collier Concepts open:

Sheesh.

Well, here's a full open from the same year (though someone cropped it a little too close):

That's a shame. At least we got something out of it.

On the international front, here's a lucky find: a 1996 bulletin from defunct Turkish TV channel Has Bilgi Birikim (the country's fourth private TV channel, operational from 1992 to 2000), featuring Alan Hawkshaw's "Best Endeavours":

And here's a holiday version of KIRO-TV's Klein& image campaign!

I wanna know why they replaced the theme? I want to hear the 2016 theme again.

Over three hours worth of footage from KIRO-TV in 1985, including two more "Spirit of the Northwest" promos - the first one at 4:36 using the remixed Klein& cut, the second at 22:13 used one of the original cuts: Plus some newsbreaks and promos (including another "Spirit of the Northwest" promo with that remix in Part 1 of the set) from the same year:

Sometimes, I wonder: what if Colombia adopted the Netherlands' pillarized model of public broadcasting?

A compilation of material from Channel 10 Melbourne on the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires, with some glimpses of Collier Concepts' work for the station:

Well, "On Top of It All" isn't "Move Closer to Your World". It sounds completely different.

Also, here's a collection of material from various Colombian newscasts in the 80s and 90s:

Most (?) of 24 Horas, one of the Colombian separate newscasts in 1986: With that, here's an HQ version of the graphics:

And here is the full version (unfortunately, this copy has a few glitches in the encoding):

Is there anyone who has full audio cuts of this theme? I think it holds up surprisingly well to this day, it wouldn't be out of place in a modern newscast.

You guys remember this Klein& theme, right? I don't know for the life of me what that was all about. But anyway, apparently it found use on Panamericana Television in Peru for their news program Panorama. Here's one example in 1986 (at the end): A 1991 close with that theme: 50 minutes worth (but probably incomplete, since no credits are shown) from the same year: Around 1992, they started remixing the theme: 1998 remix: A year later, it seems to have been remixed and rearranged again: Definitely rearranged in 2000: Of course, it was bound to have been retired by 2001, as this clip suggests: If anyone can find full versions of this program, do tell.

A bulletin from CFCN Calgary c. 1988 (w/full voiceover; apparently it's Beau Weaver, per the NMSA):

From Papua New Guinea's first television network, EMTV (at one point owned by Nine Network Australia): A history of their news operations, including audio of their version of the "Who's Who of News" campaign, plus shots of their news set: A 1989 tape consisting primarily of advertisements, but glimpses of the title sequences for National EMTV News (one segment showing that they too used Nine Network's version of "Tar Sequence" and the ABC News globe - they're still using the 2000 National Nine News version of that theme to this day, actually) and Bisnis (a business program in Tok Pisin, a creole language) plus their version of "Still the One" (also in Tok Pisin) and the open of a weather bulletin from former Nine affiliate QTV in Queensland near the end of this video: And as a bonus, a 1987 promo from that campaign:

NWS-9's Nine Action News weather update, with "Tar Sequence":

Evidently, this video suggests what the NMSA labels as the "KNTV 1985 News Theme" was intended to be used by (if not composed for) WDVM. And speaking of which, here's two opens from KNTV, which does use the theme and with Collier Concepts' animation work, so it doesn't seem like a waste. 6PM open (unfortunately someone - the person recording the tape? - overdubbed the open): 11PM open: And of course, KGMB used it too (sourced from a documentary, which I'm also posting here): And the accompanying promos:

Apparently, the theme the NMSA labels "KNTV 1985 News Theme" was intended to have been used for (if not composed for) WDVM:

Back to Australia and 1981, coverage of the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan as recorded in Melbourne. ATV-10: GTV-9 (including a snippet of the original "Tar Sequence"!): ABV-2: Channel 0/28 Multicultural Television (now SBS):
