I believe this music was from a jingle package from Tuesday Productions - the demo was originally made for WCCO Radio. IIRC, the package was called "Real Radio" and most of the cuts had vocals with the lyrics "...Real Radio, W-C-C-O."
This was Ralph Renick's next-to-last broadcast for WTVJ. He left for a vacation in Switzerland on Thursday, March 7, 1985, and injured his shoulder while skiing. He left WTVJ on Wednesday, April 10, 1985. (He said he was leaving to run for governor, but his newscast had recently slipped behind WPLG's 6 p.m. news.)
By the way, the baby had stopped breathing due to pneumonia. The cop revived the baby using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
After the switch, It was the same 1958-88 logo, but they filled in some places making it an regular italicized "4" so it was a "soft" update of an familiar logo.
Back in the day Ralph ruled. And Miami was an American city.

Great clip. This aired on Tuesday, March 5, 1985.

Actually, they used that logo from 1958 until December 1988, about 2 weeks before they made the switch to NBC.
