WIS-TV Newscast Intro 1980

This is an abbreviated intro called "The Late Report". It was used when the late news came on late due to late movies or sporting events. In this particular case, the show was on late due to the 1980 Democratic Convention. Longtime WIS-TV anchor Susan Aude is featured in this clip

"News People", the theme used here, is one of my favorites.

No, it's still SC route 277 to this day. However, once upon a time, it was planned to be part of an inner-city Columbia interstate loop, to link up with I-126--never happened, tho.

The "route 277" sign at the start of the intro... is that part of the Interstate system today? Thanx.

SORRY FOR THE LONG DISTANCE POST BUT I REMEMBER THE SAME THEME. sorry caps!! i used to watch wpec all the time right after we moved to florida from charleston.

I remember that theme song the most from WIS. It was the same theme used on WPEC-12 in West Palm Beach Florida at the time when I lived in Florida and spent my summers in South Carolina while growing up.

Do you have any videos from the other stations in Columbia? WNOK/WLTX-19 or WOLO-25. Around 1980, they only had 6:00 newscasts. WIS was the only 11:00, had the 7:00 but no 6:00. I think at 6 they had a game show and later Entertainment Tonight in the early 80's until they added more newscasts.
