30 second spot teasing "the future of television news." from May, 1980. Featuring Kathleen Sullivan, Bill Zimmerman, Fred Hickman, Jeff Jeffares, Mike Allen, and Tom Murphy, among many others. Written and edited by me.
Somewhere in my mitts I have three hours worth of CNN from it's first day (found it off a webpage years back), though I'm not inclined to do much with it anyway.
(By the way, a different version of this promo that begins with "WTBS presents" was actually used on CNN as background footage during The Situation Room today.)
Awesome promo from 31 years ago!

The music I'm hearing is from "Electric Horseman" from the soundtrack the 1979 classic movie starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.
Local stations have used that track from the soundtrack as a news theme, including CBS affiliate WSBT Channel 22 in South Bend, IN.
