capsgm2002 65 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Apparently he's the guy who created the much-celebrated "News 4 New York" theme according to the NMSA. I wonder how this was found out since it is now apparent that it isn't Edd Kalehoff that composed the theme after all these years.

TServo2049 81 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Some info here: http://home.unet.nl/kesteloo/chesmannsquare.html I'm also convinced that the early-80s WMAQ theme is based on/the same as News 4 New York...

Chief-O 31 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Wow. Somehow, though, I'm not too surprised......Out of all that's been attributed to Kalehoff over the years, the WNBC theme doesn't sound like the rest of his stuff. I wonder, though, if Jim hired Edd to actually record the package.......

TServo2049 81 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I guess you could e-mail Kalehoff from the link on the web site to find out. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/917-whos-jim-mcallister/#findComment-7375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsgm2002 65 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 It's a good catch by whomever found it out. I'm willing to gamble that Edd Kalehoff composed the late-80's update though.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It's a good catch by whomever found it out. I'm willing to gamble that Edd Kalehoff composed the late-80's update though. According to Wikipedia (in and of itself a gamble), McAllister was supposed to have created the (I believe 1987) update as well.
