@TechnerVideo - Ignore him. He always points out the obvious on when these aired even when it is said in the description. He just copypasta's it.

Voice-over announcer also has a Buffalo connection; he's Jeff Kaye, who at the time of the recording was morning host at WBEN (AM 930) and former PD at WKBW (AM 1520). He later became the main voice of NFL Films, and still does some commercial voiceovers in the northeastern US.

"Move Closer To Your World". Best opening theme music to any show ever (although I more associate this tune with WKBW-TV in Buffalo, having lived in Toronto all of my life).

You cut this together really good. It sounded like the real news broadcast was only those two tidbits and then they signed off. It's funny cause the theme song is longer than the broadcast.

@evangar, thanks. This was how I originally edited it on the cassette tape when I recorded it. That was 28 years ago!

Does anybody know when they started using this theme combination? I cannot remember a time before it.

This station's Action News format with this music theme began 1971 - 72. There was a different music theme they used in 1971 when they first initiated Action News. I heard it on a 45 RPM promo and have been trying to locate it again ever since. Action News began when WFIL-TV became WPVI-TV. Gunner Back was the main news anchor on the old WFIL-TV news.
