some viewers of this video will recognize KOTV anchor Clayton Vaughn, as the person responsible for the firing of fellow (competitor, and heir-apparent) anchor, the late Robert Joffe. Vaughn started a rumor about Joffe, in order to damage his career. Vaughn is responsible for KOTV firing Robert Joffe. Shortly after his firing, despondent and beaten, with his promising career ruined, Robert Joffe commited suicide. Robert Joffe's widow sued KOTV, and Clayton Vaughn sinning a 4 million $ award.
I forgot to add that WWMT-tv in Kalamazoo use to use this Signature Theme as well from the mid 1990's to 2007 when on that year of 2007 use CBS enforcer.
Not really. If you are referring to the fact that KWTV uses that same graphic, they didn't start using that until the late 80's. KOTV was using that 6 graphic since the early 80's. I'm surprised no one has mentioned John Anderson (now at ESPN) filling in on sports.
From the look of things, it appears like KWTV copied that logo to an extent AND copied the red/white/blue color scheme that was introduced in late 1995...
Griffin Communications owns both KOTV and KWTV, so that's why the 6 and the 9 look familiar.

@dcmdfw April 1991: Opening Day in baseball, the year, and the graphics in the first few seconds are from 1990-91 on CBS, not 1991-92.

It's the Signature theme by Stephen Arnold Music. KGO used it from 2000-2006 before they used Eyewitness News.
