I still hum that every now and then...1972 was the year I moved to northern Virginia...
-
Agreed! I've been looking for that one as well. It was outstanding, and dcbatwing's account is long gone.
-
I remember this theme being used by WPIX around that time (relatives in Pa. had the station on their cable).
-
They must have gone to the bottom of the market with that one.

I have a very vague memory of that "Superman" musical theme also being used in 1975 as the opening theme for "Action News" on WPIX, could anyone confirm this or not?
-
Actually, the theme music is from the original cast recording to the short-lived mid-1960s Broadway musical about Superman composed by Charles Strouse, IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE...

Good Lord. What a musical disaster! First the nauseating electronic music and slightly trippy swirling nine beginning, followed by what sounds like a musical exercise Elmer Bernstein must have done for his father when he was six... Don't show this to children.

A while ago, someone posted WTOP's "One and Only TV 9" promo. I seen it was taken off, can someone put it back on. I think it was a great promo!
You got to be stoned to appreciate this!

I remember this theme music when WTOP was WDVM in the late 70's to early 80's. It used to scare me as a young child.
