mardek1995 200 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 This is literally one of the best news opens I've ever seen. KYW circa 1999: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthesea 292 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I miss This is Your News, especially the orchestral cut that WBNS had been using continuously since 2003 on the late news. One of the best compositions of Gari, I think. Now, it was replaced by Stephen Arnold's Aerial, which of course it's a great package too. Here´s a complete newscast from 2014. This package appears as a bed to announce what´s coming up next and in transition bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1290 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 This is a pre-show teaser rather than an open, but I think it's just wonderful -- the music fits, the anchors' delivery is pitch-perfect, and the writing is great (even rhythmic in parts): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 You little whipper-snappers failed to mention Frank Devol and his Journal Nacional theme music that ran for 40 years.... Frank also did many movie scores along with the music for The Brady Bunch, Family Affair and many other TV shows.. Here is his famous news theme called "The Fuzz" Where else have you heard that news theme??? [MEDIA=vimeo]140461619[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox2 190 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is also newscast perfection for me - the newscast they would have on Mars - Jornal da Record: Jornal da Record (@1:10) | Hear extended audio of the theme here. Stateside, the WCPO theme - in the promo @0:30 - is pure dope. (The actual open is OK, but I would love to hear a clean cut of that audio!) Incredible KDKA open from 1991: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7rgoHyxaIs And lastly - although probably not to U.S. tastes - the "demonic" electronic theme for ITN News at One in '89 (long close @0:39) blew me away as a kid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmasters1 377 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Don't know if this was posted here, but here's a 1989 11 P.M. opening from KGTV (Channel 10, ABC San Diego) that I really liked; Charlie Van Dyke was the V/O. Charlie: "KGTV, San Diego. Now at 11:00: Carol LeBeau... Kimberly Hunt... Michael Tuck's Perspective... Captain Mike's weather... Larry Sacknoff on sports. This is San Diego's news leader: 10 News Nightcast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox2 190 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 RAI DUE in 1989 could barely be more minimalist, but even as a kid when I recorded this clip, I thought this was special - the bold nothingness was so damn cool! (and this is for WWUpdate ) BBC News 1990 - others described the this '89 look as 'sinister' and 'Nazi-like'... I remember it as quite stunning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfZwpGziz5I NBC Nightly News 1990 - and as a fan of old-style minimalism, sure it may have zero graphics, but I love the simplicity and immediacy of this open: ...although .

Info Junkie 1285 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 KMTV 1982 - gotta love how they sync up Energy V.1 with the opening footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
