KLTV 1985 sounds like it came from Dallas (or VTS) - it reminds me of both Jim Kirk's WWL theme, and VTS' News '80s. Perhaps it could be some hard-news cut from the Spirit of Oklahoma package (I forget if the demo is still up, but there's video of it preceded by a pre-Spirit of Oklahoma ID, so it may have predated their use of that.

 

We also don't have any video, or even audio, of them using that package KTRE was using in the late 80s/early 90s, but being KTRE's big sister, one would assume they used it too.

Will you post that video on here?

Thank you!! KLTV + KTRE used the news theme as well and it seemed *really* obvious there'd be a sung something or other.

 

The Non-Stop "USA Package" is listed in ASCAP but with some surprisingly late users that we have never been able to confirm: KJCT, KOAM (which doesn't fit what we do know of their news music history), WAWS and WUSA. It appears to have been made in 1993 or so.

 

Bestor and Sam Cardon (Tamara is his wife) did not join Non-Stop until 1986.

 

 

I also went into BMI (that's ASCAP) and found a "USA FIRST NEWS PACKAGE" mention, but I dunno if that might have been the USA network or some sort of bridge package with First News.

Hopefully, someone can find this use of the package!
