- Enjoy this digitized cassette of a demo tape found in the basement of the KWQC-TV6 studios. Over the years, the KWQC-TV6 promotions department did a phenomenal job preserving items like this. In particular, the promotions director in the 80s had a box full of news music demos, and graphics demos from companies such as Klein&, Image West, VDO, Jerry Smith Productions, and more. I can't wait to share more!
I'm not opposed to those other secrets in the basement coming to life again! This period was the golden age of TV news themes. The stuff today is OK but it's just not like the good days of TV news in the 80s and 90s.
Today, it's just a bunch of sound effects strung together~!
5:25 finally, we have WGHP's Turn To tune!
In 1994, a tabloid variant of the theme used by WBAL (Pride Inside) was adopted by WTHI. That theme was only in use for two years.
@@SigmaRho2922 i'm going to look for this now. I remember watching WTHI when I was a kid
R.I.P. Florence Warner Jones (March 22, 1947 - September 19, 2024)
The first two clips were for WSMV in Nashville, but as I recall, only the first one was actually used on the air.
That’s a shame, the second one is so much better
Really loving these! I will be sharing your videos to my page for sure!
Omg 24:50 lol a riff on “I’ve had the time of my life”
8:45 sounds a lot like David Grusin.
Did WXIA 11 Atlanta actually use that alternate “On Your Side” version by the great Richie Havens? I liked the version on this demo. Never heard that before.
It might've been more for WBAL Baltimore, who used the slogan for a time in the mid-late 80s
I just lost it at 2:11😂
Pride Inside was originally commissioned by WBAL before it became used by a few other stations like WBRZ, WTHI and CHCH. Stations in eastern Canada used Gari Media campaigns in a lesser fashion than in western Canada, with the only other known example being CFMT during the 1990s, when another package commissioned by WBAL (The Heat) was used.
Please post all the video demos you have, especially if you can preserve them as 60p!
On the CFCN clip, 4 & 5 refer to its OTA and cable channels in Calgary, respectively. No doubt inspired by CFAC, which itself Ided as "2 & 7".
And a fun fact: CFAC's Lethbrdge semi-satellite used the same 2 & 7 branding, but in that case, it was cable 2-OTA 7.
12:03 dose anyone know that jingle because I forgot the name about this jingle
“Pride Inside” produced in 1989 for CHCH-TV 11.
@@jimscott2050 but what about WBAL-TV 11s on your side what year was it from?
@@Tamtam2.0 1985
@@jimscott2050 CHCH's tagline was "Together, we're the ones", a play on the channel number.
The package used by KUSA was later used by WTOV…
This is neat! I have always wanted to hear a full version of the "Stand Up And Tell 'Em Pittsburgh's Great" jingle that WTAE used in the 1980s. It sounds fantastic. The lyrics talk about Pittsburgh being the number-one city in America.
