PelicanGuy 117 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 To those in Chicago, Indianapolis and Boston (well, New England for that matter) Any stations in those markets have their own so-called fight song promos for the market's respective NFL teams (Bears, Colts and Patriots)? WWL is running its "Bless You Boys" Saints promo again with new footage and a revamped graphic (see my avatar and below). Promo song: http://www.wwltv.com/blessyouboys2.mp3 WDSU has unveiled a "fight song," which I only caught the tail end of.

TServo2049 81 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Well, back during Super Bowl XIII and XIV, KDKA had a "Here's 2 the Steelers" song, which can be heard in the post-game Eyewitness News closing from 1980 in KDKA's video section on their website.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Back in '04 when the Eagles went to the bowl, I think every station in the market changed their news package to "Fly Eagles Fly". If the Eagles hadn't stunk up the joint last season and went very far, I would have completely grown a hatred for it.

kirjtc2 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The Patriots have never had a fight song. For most of the team's history, just admitting you were a fan was bad enough, let alone reciting some lame fight song Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/478-network-fight-songs-for-markets-nfl-team/#findComment-4296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleTV5 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm not sure if it could be called a "fight song" but, WKRN in Nashville had a campaign called "Titans on 2"..can't recall how it went though.

bhratbrat 437 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Back when those crazy Nashville/Tennessee Titans boys were in humble Houston (ha ha) I think there was a song that accompanied the Luv Ya Blue campaign Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/478-network-fight-songs-for-markets-nfl-team/#findComment-4556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHawk447 17 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Are you referring to the one that starts "Houston's got the Oilers, the greatest football team..."? That one, though, had no tie-in to a local station. I don't know if these could be called "fight songs," but... When the NFL moved from CBS to Fox in the mid-90's, a notable promo on WNYW was a customization of the "Kickin' It" music for the Giants and their new (primary) broadcast home. For the Jets, there were musical promos especially for the team on WNBC (last years of the Peacock's AFC package) and WCBS (notably, a Jetsons-esque promo and a customization of the "No Place..." campaign centered on Gang Green). More recently, the 2005-06 Steelers had a special version of WPXI's updated "Stand Up" promo for their SBXL run. [KDKA did something similar with its "Here's 2..." for the SBXIV championship squad.] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/478-network-fight-songs-for-markets-nfl-team/#findComment-4632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestbiteme 13 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 WPXI had their "Stand up and tell 'em your a Steelers fan" customization a few years ago.

first on fox 18 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 WPXI had their "Stand up and tell 'em your a Steelers fan" customization a few years ago.
