I think I liked this music the best out of all the news themes Fox 8 has had. The graphics were pretty bland, but the music was great. I was mad when they changed it, lol.
The open at 1:04 is so cheaply done. There was a brief two-week period when it was formally called "Fox 8 IS News," and actually had a nicely done open in retrospect. Then the "IS" was dropped, and... we got this.
I see Robin Swoboda doing the 6pm news here. She is back with Channel 8 on the Entertainment side. I enjoy her "That's Life" shows on the road. Again, Channel 8 has the best picture quality among Cleveland stations, and such is ideal for Ohio country scenes.
Nice use of the FOX 8 News logo on that sunset backdrop.

There was also a very brief time when they used a branding of "Fox 8 Is News." That didn't last long though before they changed to "Fox 8 News."

This set used until 2007 was a work in progress & the music sounds soothing.

The voiceover's name is Paul Turner. He does voiceover at my local cable news channel, Bay News 9.

No, this is not Power News. This is the "WJW 1997 News Theme" on the NMSA. No one knows the real name of it.
