In the fall of 1982, Ch. 9's 4:00 Movie was cut back a half-hour; here's a bumper graphic for the 4:30 Movie, followed by a News Digest intro.

can you upload the entire 4:30 movie theme...it was the best tv show intro on television when I grew up. I watched WOR when it was a superstation, and I was living in Washington, Pa.!

@kcthatsawinner - Sorry, but this bumper clip is all I have of the 4:30 Movie.

@kcthatsawinner I'd love to hear that full theme again myself. I remember it was quite awesome. Makes me nostalgic to hear the bumper now.

WOR was not the only RKO station to use a movie show title previously used by an ABC O&O (in this case, WABC); in Los Angeles, KHJ (now KCAL) called their afternoon movie series "The 3:30 Movie" within a year of KABC's 1980 cancellation of their "skein" (per Variety newspaper verbiage).
