That intro came from WPIX-TV back in the 1980's.

Nope. They mighta used it...but not where it came from.

Wow, this brings back memories!

Yes, I remember seeing this in the 1980s up here in NYC as well. You say it's originally from 1965? Guess the local TV stations got a lot of mileage out of it.

They used this opening right through the 80s because I remember seeing it when I was a kid on what is now the CW11.
