Look around at all the horrible news openings across the country during this era..Buffalo and Rochester were light years ahead, esp compared to major TV markets.

@Fieldsfangirl28 She actually started at WKBW left for stints out of town and at WGRZ then ultimately returned to WKBW.

I love this open. It reminds me of WNEV in Boston. I'll just bet those are the same gfx for the open.

Listen closely...the "Working Harder" signature reappears at the end. Great theme and graphics for 1986.

@raymieX The theme dates from at least 1985, based on YT clips. Don't know if any locals recall it being heard earlier.
@raymieX yeah exactly..that was the music package they used.

Sounds like a real band doing the theme.
Great clip. Thanks for posting. This aired on Friday, September 5, 1986.
