You can make out the newswire audio logo towards the end for a sports promo in the first commerical break at 9:42 and in the morning show tease during the second comm. break at 16:26 in the 1997 clip above. Here's another mix variation of it for a 1995 "Commited to Chicago" news promo. There may be more promos on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPtEVcnZ_sM Interesting! So do you think that they adopted this cut as a transitional theme ahead of the Newschannel 5 rebrand? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think that they adopted this cut as a transitional theme ahead of the Newschannel 5 rebrand? Sure seems like it... it's almost as if they decided to use a heavier drum mix of the cut as a transitional theme leading up to the rebrand. It's a lot more in your face soundiing compared to the normal newswire cuts. Edited November 13, 2020 by promoguy98 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 285 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) We take you back to 1990 when Mid State Television, Inc., the owners of W50BE (now WOHZ-CD), launched a news operation. It was known as "The Evening Journal." Here is the very first newscast they did as "TV50 Mansfield."

Here's a short profile of the duo: CNN had TWO husband/wife anchor teams: - Dave Walker and Lois Hart (who returned to northern California to anchor at KCRA) - Chris Curle and Don Farmer (who stayed in Atlanta to anchor at WSB ABC 2) Of course, Dave Walker and Lois Hart was the first team to kick things off on June 1, 1980. Throughout the first hour, the second team Curle and Farmer explained how CNN worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
