Anyone up for some college news? This is the inaguaral broadcast of the University of Georgia's University News from April of 1988, using some kind of production music that I've heard several times before, anyone know what it is?

An interesting theme with the I Love Chicago signature from 1976, as heard on WBBM's current affairs program Two on Two:

No music but some rare WPBN-WTOM material from 1993:

Plus this volume of commercials starts with an Ed Hopkins-voiced Jeep/Eagle ad:

 

 

It appears they used the News Leader production track from FirstCom:

 

 

From later in the 90s, more WPBN, including footage of their equally rare Television by Design graphics and march-like music theme:

Horrible quality - it's a DX pickup of KCRA from someone in Vancouver. But this is the brief 1989 close to what I think is a 5pm newscast. KCRA didn't run credits or closing music...they'd play a bumper into the copyright chyron. This bumper was around from around 1988 - 90 or so.

 

[SoFloTVClassics 1005]

More South Florida clips.

 

 

Now if anyone out there can help, pinpoint what musical track, the WDZL (WSFL) 8pm movie is I'd be in heaven.

The KSL late 80s pack debuted not in '89 but late in '88:

And who dared to trim the open from this!?

The song is called Angela by Bob James. It was the theme to the late 70's sitcom "Taxi".

I think the KSL ‘88/‘89 theme debuted actually at WAFF in 1987, as this 1987 promo shows the graphics that were used with said theme:

 

Also I’m starting to think that people are deliberately trimming out KUTV’s news opens, but I know that’s not true. And I had no idea that Keith Radford worked in Utah!

I meant to the actual 8pm movie at :25 mark.

Like fellow former Big 8 CKLW 20/20 Newsman Randall Carslisle, who also anchored at KUTV.

If you were talking about the open, I'm 99.9% sure that's an Aircraft Production library track.... most likely found somewhere in the first 10 discs -

Wow! I'd never known that. And yes, those uploads were from my YT channel.
