WHAS in Louisville still uses Gari's Newschannel news theme since 1991. I believe next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the station's use of Newschannel!
I picked up WIS quite a bit when I was growing up in the Sandhills of North Carolina (near Rockingham). WIS is and always will be the best station in Columbia. Their tower looks like a big red and white candy cane (with no hook, of course) that can be easily seen from I-20 near Lugoff, and that station is alot like WRAL in which it originates in the capital city of its respective state and covers about 90% of the state itself. In terms of coverage, WIS like WECT (when it was still analog).

I recognize those pedestals... they still work great!
Are those the same Ikegami camera's we have now?
If only we could do an intro wide-shot like that.

Wow! They've come a long way. What's amazing is how long those anchors lasted at the station.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting these. I also remember this theme music from WSB in Atlanta in the mid-1980's.
