Edd Kalehoff


Recommended Posts

We all know the many contributions of Edd Kalehoff and his Score productions....from his moog-infused game show themes, to his pounding rock-orchestral masterpieces for everything from Double Dare! to Monday Night Football.  Not to mention his many image campaigns and news themes....

 

As a loyal viewer of WEWS in the 1990s, his themes were a great addition to the station at the time.

 

I came to discover that the themes used for The Morning Exchange and Movie 5 were later used as prize cues on The Price Is Right, due to his long affiliation with the show, and as the creator of the legendary theme.

 

A few years ago,  I found the 1995 WEWS theme on his website...it's now called Firsthand News:

Here's the Morning Exchange theme used at the time.  It's called Sunshine News.  The guitar version was used for the main show, while the horn version was used on the short-lived Weekend Exchange hosted by Leon Bibb on weekend mornings.

One of these was used as a Prize cue on TPIR.

 

The mystery I've been trying to clear up is what this theme is...it's the Movie 5 theme.  Also used as a prize cue on TPIR as well.

 

This is the "horn" version

His WEWS news theme on NewsMusicNow is called WEWS Live On 5. 

At the time, that may have been what it was called.  Since WEWS no longer has the rights to the music (if it was only for a limited duration) Edd may choose to syndicate it to whoever he pleases if he indeed holds all of the rights to it.

 

A similar case was with the old Sinclair News Package that Stephen Arnold did.  As soon as the new SESAC rules kicked in, Sinclair opted not to renew and instead had Gari make them a new theme. 

Since then, many of the cuts have been rolled into the once-unrelated U-Phonix package.  Stations like WVUE use some of these cuts as part of their use of U-Phonix.
