by the way, i love the clarity--especially of the audio...you can really hear the synthesizers in the "citypulse" theme, or even the little details in the "citypulse" open like the chopper and the sound of paper being torn off the printers in the newsroom...sure came off a well-maintained tape if you ask me! :)
wow...great find, as always! slowly, the video history of "citypulse" (both for the 6:00 and 11:00 shows) is coming together on youtube...:P gotta love the intro music (synthesizers all over? really, really reminiscent of the '90s)...and the HUGE font coming out of the chyron/inscriber/character generator or whatever you wanna call it for laura di battista's name on the screen. :p
So, Citytv had their own news helicopter? What was it, CityChopper? XD But that was Citytv in its prime - daring to be different. Not the Citytv we know now.
@OTownNews I wonder if that was an actual full time news chopper, or if Citytv just rented one and stuck a logo on it for the sake of promo shots. The latter was what CIVT in Vancouver did in the late 90s before they got Chopper 9 in 2004.
One of the best (and most genius) concepts for a news open ever. The Rocky-esque music theme ROCKS!
laura has aged really well. almost 20 years on and i think she's looking better now.

It Looks So Getting City Pulse to Australia on Seven Nightly News Sydney with Roger Climpson
I almost didn't realize it, but that's a synthesized version of the Rocky theme!
just trying to find out that retro in between scenes song in the beginning, anyone know!? only caught the last few bits of it
@mrsmiley102 What she got fired? Why? She was really good! :(
Laura Di Battista looks like Elaine from Seinfeld back then. lol
