WCAU Late Show Intro

This intro was used for many years on WCAU, Channel 10 Philadelphia. This clip was recorded in 1988, probably near the end of its use.

@dandydonaldo - I did find out, subsequent to my query, that KMOX, prior to adopting "The Bijou Picture Show" title, had indeed employed the "Late Show" (and "Late Late Show") branding that the other CBS O&O's had employed.

@wmbrown6 KMOX-TV in St. Louis re-branded their all-night movies "The Bijou Picture Show". They were sold by CBS in 1986 and changed their call letters to KMOV, and no longer shows late night movies.

I've been looking for video of that for years.

what is the name of this song?

I can confirm that they did use it in the 80s, as I remember this being used for a few years from the time I began receiving Philly stations via cable from the NYC market.

They used the same music, 'Love's Theme' also for the Early Show aka the Afternoon movie.

I've been looking for this intro...thanks for posting!

Not that I know of. I.I.N.M., WBBM and KNXT/KCBS had used what WCBS used for "The Late Show." The only question mark is KMOX during CBS's ownership of that station. This one appears unique to WCAU.

Yeah..I was young but when I was allowed to stay up late, I really remember vividly that music with the bright blue stars floating by. Maybe it will appear on You Tube one day! Up in New York they had this awesome Late Show theme going around that time as well

Wow, I thought I was the only one to remember that. I also think the same theme was used for the WCAU Afternoon Movie.  I also would love to see it again.
