Stu Nahan may he Rest In Peace

This is among the best uses of the piano I have ever heard in a news theme, past or present. The vamp from 0:16 to the end really shines.

BIOGRAPHY!!

[nonpunker]

I miss John Beard! He left KNBC for KTTV many years ago and was replaced by Carlos Amezcua from KTLA about a year ago or so. Carlos is o.k., but John is better.

John Beard is now on WGRZ in Buffalo doing the morning news there. and Kevin O' Connell is there with him on WGRZ.

Two former game show hosts here.  Clooney hosted the short-lived 1974-75 ABC series "The Moneymaze"; O'Connell hosted 1983's "Go".

Nick Clooney, George Clooney's Father!

[NicoleLovesMusic89]

Pardon me to say so, but the intro music reminds me quite a lot of the Japanese Dragon Ball Z, or Sailor Moon.

[TVArkGreg]

Did Nick Clooney ever anchor on KNBC? Every single clip I've seen of KNBC where he's mentioned in the talent, he always seemed to be off...

I like John Beard on Arrested Development!

I'm guessing this intro started around 1982?

i like this intro

[ASKconard]

I love the music.

[bmasters1981]

I love it too. However, I would have tweaked the V/O somewhat if I were the announcer. This is how: Tritia and Nick would have been introduced as normal, and so would Jack Perkins, but I would have said "Stu Nahan on sports" and "Kevin O'Connell with (the) weather." Otherwise, great opening.
