This, among the many clips, and snippets involving the FBI's Most Wanted criminal Ted bundy. It's a shame that 1) these are recorded off of a phone via TV screen and 2) there are no news intros, since it's clearly the end of Al Ham's "On Top Of It All" in those 1977 KUTV news clips. It looks like this user made a trip to the University of Utah's Moving Image Archive, which has a collection of KUTV newscasts.

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) These videos were posted 9 years ago on YouTube, but I am about to share these. First, we have a Guam Cable News broadcast from 1988 as anchored by Kurt Chaisson. The theme they used was "The One & Only" by Klein&. And also, we have a KGNS news open and clip from the 1980s. The theme they used was "Newscore" by VTS Productions. These videos were posted by Kurt Chaisson on his YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/user/kirk42107/videos.

On a random search in the Web Archive, I found some interesting WJZ Stuff: https://archive.org/details/WJZ-EYE-002-019 - December 17, 1977 Eyewitness News - Oprah's not happy about something before she does her tease, one of the last news opens with the "WJZ 1975 News Theme" https://archive.org/details/WJZ-EYE-002-018 - December 19, 1977 Eyewitness News - The noon newscast here is the last with the theme, which features a long close. The debut of a new set and a new theme (Telesound's "Number Thirteen") is midway through the video.
