I thought WLS was using the NewsSeries 2000 theme (the same one used by ABC 7's KABC-LA and WABC-NY).

"News Series 2000" Hasn't been used by any of the stations since the early 90's. Now, WABC & KABC use "Eyewitness News" and WLS uses "News Series 2000 PLUS"

[gameshowguy2000]

Oh, I understand THAT. I just remember that all the ABC O&O-ed ABC 7's (KABC-LA, WABC-NY, WLS-Chicago, and KGO-SF) used NewsSeries 2000 during the 80's and 90's.

[ctmajka]

Yeah. WLS used it untill September of 1992.

This open is so WPVI-like.

Wow, Ron Rolland was the opening announcer way back in 92. Had no idea he had this gig for so long. He does a fabulous job.

@MegaMiles43 what's funny about it? It's some idiot looking like an idiot...disrupting the newscast. I wish TV crews would tackle and beat the shit out of morons who do that.

@bigvoice313 no it is not

nostalgia -w-

Really liked this intro--always had a very upbeat and cheerful feeling to it for an otherwise bad news beginning. Those toothbrushing kids always cracked me up.

It also looks like an older verson of KGO-TV's 1998 open

Where was the original WLS-TV studios before broadcasting at State Street about two decades ago?
