  • Awesome promo from 31 years ago!

  • 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.

  • 30 Years Ago Thank You!!!!1

  • Happy 30th birthday, CNN! Here's to 30 more!

    (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.)

  • 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.

  • Who designed CNN's logo?
