  • Oh man do I miss the classics!

  • Eeeew... the weekend team??! It - it's just wrong somehow.

    Joking aside, thanks for posting this. We only got the long theme on a slow news night or when technical difficulties bumped a segment. 

  • Dang Howard was young been around for a while too, now he helps u today  in the streets "Help me Howard"

  • Everyone loved WPIX! until the 2010 newscast revamp. It's glad that I could hear this music all the time on YouTube

  • UPDATE: Sorry, WGN still does have a Tribune logo at the end of their newscasts. But still...

  • Sucks they don't use this theme anymore. It is a really good theme.

    Personally, the Tribune Broadcasting logo at the end as the music climaxed (like WGN did for a time) would have been a nice touch, but meh.

  • do you have a shorter version of the close?

  • ENG stands for english right. what in the world do some of those things mean. and werent there more to the news staff than those two names or is that just counting the anchors only?

  • Electonic News Gathering

  • Excellent close. That music is awesome.

  • So not true. Find me proof

  • Amazing long close. Almost rare to find this

  • I thought they started calling themselves the WB11 in 1995

  • they did just not the news ...that came eventually with the launch of WB11 morning news

  • @nubianprince6 They sort of did & didn't. When the WB started in '95, it was only on one night of the week, so for promoting the WB shows that aired on that night, the "WB11" branding was in effect, anything else--news, movies, syndicated shows was just "Channel 11" for the remaining 6 days of the week. Cut to a year later when the WB network expanded their prime time lineup, and TPTB just found it easier to incorporate "WB11" into all their branding. And that's how a bill becomes a law.

  • I wonder how many times they keeping updating their news theme.

  • No, I believe WB branding was in use at this point, but I don't think it crossed over to news until the late 1990s...

  • I notice they didn't call themselves the WB11 even though they were affiliated with them at that point.

  • The WB11 branding started the following year.
