Move Closer 1997

The "five-day Action News theme," uploaded here for you. So called because it was used for just five days until public outcry prompted WPVI to change back to the Al Ham standard.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own neither this song nor the rights to it. It is/was entirely the property of Al Ham However, it is being posted here for listening convenience.

What was this, Disney's attempts to update news themes after they took over ABC? Sorry Mickey Mouse, but the London Philharmonic can't hold a candle to Al Ham's original version, and that is why the people of Philadelphia pressured you into going back to that version.

ok just by listening to the opens for action news, i can see why philly diehards would get ticked...this is horrible

[AshburnStadium]

No, this is the London Philharmonic!

They could have at least used the Philadelphia Orchestra.

[chunkatronic]

What???!! This is a high school concert band, right??? No wonder they nixed it!

[ASKconard]

They should have kept this for the occasional bumper or close.

This sucks. I hope who ever decided this was better was fired.
