They took the KYW radio signature, and made it into a news theme for KYW-TV, which lasted even after Group W sold Channel 3 to CBS, and NBC moved to Channel 10 WCAU
great intro! the song sounds nice and relaxing and very news like! also, the graphics seem so modern for the early 90s. i'm guessing KYW is an NBC affiliate because ET is an NBC show. also, anyone know where i can find this opening tune without a voice over?
Don't agreee with you this was a rather Draconian Move albeit with snazzy production values .did not like this era at all! looking back Bruce and Jennifer looked too uncomfortable doing the news and it showed. Group W was smart to scrap this abomination it just did'nt fit!. this format was more suited to something like what MSNBC is now which then I would accept but Philly news NO! no wonder why people fleed to 6 and 10.
and it makes sense for CBS3 today to call its news EYEWitness news
Also was no big fan of the Mendte/Lane Era while comuting from the west Coast to Philly up intil recently I got to see that . I actually liked Mendte and Lane as individuals but thought CBS
was trying to shove Alycia Lane down the throats (attractive news anchor ) of philly News fans . and the scandal did not help
That Hard Copy promo, what was that chromed spiky ball thing at the beginning?

I was living in Center City then. In fact, on May 20, 1993, I came hom from work sick with a cold, and I was sick the entire weekend.

I never knew Bruce was working @ KYW 3. He's now @ WJXT 4 in Jacksonville, FL (doing The Morning Show from 5-9 AM)

This clip is actually from 93 and i'm proud to be the 1st watcher. Interesting how they changed David's part just a bit.
I think it was a great era and sadily they dropped it and Jennifer less then a year later, along with Bruce & David. Ukee's still there wow...

You know, I should have caught that - I say "1993" in the writeup and it says it in the open...
"First Weather" was added to all newscast opens to plug the weather thing.
