PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Does anyone know about the news theme that was used for Univision affiliates from the 90s? Examples of usage: http://uvideos.com/shows/los-angeles/fallece-jesus-javier-ex-periodista-de-univision-34 (Can be heard at the end of the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvVuOFX5W3E (Skip to 5:25) Why am I asking this? Maybe it's because I'm fascinated about Univision's local news stuff from the 90s. I want to find the theme in it's entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Unfortunately, I don't have any leads. KMEX at one point used a news theme done by San Francisco-based Scott Singer. This theme is listed in ASCAP. Unfortunately, Singer died in 2009 (he was 48). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 ASCAP link? Just search "KMEX News Theme" in ASCAP ACE. There's not a lot of useful information - an address for his defunct firm, his name, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Still no sound file to the theme. *Sigh* There's really no telling what it could be, and the fact that Singer is no longer with us does not help at all. Plus, the 1990 theme find opens up new and unexpected possibilities, though ASCAP stuff *tends* to be from the 90s on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain 17 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Looking it up on the ASCAP rep, theres another entry WLTV News Theme by William Sanchez, which has made a lot of music for Univision... might be the theme we're looking for or it's predecessor which sounds alike... Clip of the 1989 theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=y2h5LJwBKOU;m=3;s=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'd heard that open but never seen it. I don't think there are many opens that scream "Miami" more than that. I just discovered Sánchez has a website too. It does mention he wrote news music. Someone should ask him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain 17 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I can't find clips of it from other stations, so it was probably just for WLTV, the "update" was the one that made it to the other O&Os. It's likely that both themes were made in-house at Univision, because it sounds a lot like most of the other Univision produced show themes from late 80s to mid 90s.

PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 WLTV has used that news theme ever since they established the "Noticias 23" moniker starting in 1984 in some form. (KMEX used it too and possibly other SIN O&O stations at the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
