This theme was also used for WSVN- Channel 7 in Miami for their "Live At Five" show that aired in the mid to late 1980's when they were an NBC affiliate.
The news on WSVN was "NewsCenter 7" with a different version of this theme. Everything was changed just before the station became a FOX affiliate on January 1, 1989.
Oh my good friend, Phyllis Eliasberg. She was the station's comsumer reporter for about two years. She now does freelance work in Boston. Her son, Jonathan Eliasberg, is an anchor and reporter at WBZ-TV. He goes under the name Jonathan Elias.
(After two bars of the intro)
"This is Channel 7 Eyewitness News... with Fahey Flynn, Joel Daly, Steve Deschler, Tim Weigel, and the Eyewitness News team."
""Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, how do you do? I'm Fahey Flynn, and here's what's happening..."

The theme music for this ill-fated "Eyewitness Extra" was also used for "Eyewitness News" on WLS-TV in Chicago for a few years starting in 1980.

And it came from Frank Gari's "Seven on Your Side" package.
