WWUpdate 1290 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 QTQ9, Brisbane, Australia, 1984 (starting at the 0:17 mark); parts of the theme sound a lot like 615 Music's "Something's Happening Here" -- a coincidence or something more?

Samantha 2878 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 QTQ9, Brisbane, Australia, 1984 (starting at the 0:17 mark); parts of the theme sound a lot like 615 Music's "Something's Happening Here" -- a coincidence or something more? I'm going to say coincidence. 615 was a small regional player at the time, and the chronology would be incorrect anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Last time on the Mark Haffner Music World Tour... A cut from On Your Side somehow made its way to Belize on Love TV! (That doubles the number of stations ever found using the package — though two more are listed by the NMSA besides WKRN). Tonight... It's an African twist, as GBC24, the newscast of GTV in Ghana, has a...Leading Edge! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=mA4XMp6cFZ4;t=880 And as a special bonus... In that same video, Guatevisión with Magnum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 This compilation of Ta Nea Toy opens from Greece's ANT1 features an interesting surprise: namely, a longer version of a theme once used in a (probably unused) NBC Nightly News open found in the NewsActive3 archives (I forget which part off-hand), about 15 years after its original appearance across the pond! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=62CrRfqduoA;t=54 Interestingly, the open prior to this one also features the "mustache laser cameraman" animation used in numerous American and foreign opens much earlier...
