OK, I gotta chime in. Grew up in Oakland, hometown ABC station was KGO.

Now, Channel Seven NewsScene. With Van Amburg. Jerry Jensen. Pete Giddings with weather, and Don Sanchez with sports. Now for NewsScene, here's Van Amburg.

The original music for Cool Hand Luke was composed by Lalo Schifrin. An edited version of the musical cue from the Tar Sequence has been used for many years as the news music package on several television stations' news programs around the world, mostly those owned and operated by ABC in the United States; this cue was first used in 1968 on WABC-TV in New York for their Eyewitness News newscast and was subsequently imported to ABC's other television properties.

@rexxdexx Of course it would work. This used to be used for ABC Eyewitness News for many years. Then years later I watch Cool Hand Luke and heard the music and asked, "Why is Cool Hand Luke palying ABC Eyewitness News?"
