Mid-1985 is when the tape is from.

@RaymieX - Pghvisitor is right. This would have aired during the time "Turn To News" was used. "Hello News" was used probably from 1979 - 1986 on WTAE. The "Hello Package" had it's own imaging theme - "Hello Pittsburgh", "Hello Baltimore", etc. "Hello" is still being offered (although I think it was reintroduced) as a package by Gari Communications.

@Pghvisitor Either that or Hello News...both found international footholds (both have been found in Australia - Hello News has been found in Canada). I'd think Hello News would be the more well-known one.

En mi país, América TV usó una versión en español del jingle (mediante autorización) entre fines de 1987 y comienzos de 1990 (cuando empezó a transmitir por satélite)

FYI - This probably aired somewhere between 1986 and 1989 when WTAE used "Turn to News" - the theme heard here. At that time the theme was "Tell 'em Pittsburgh's Great" which WPXI would (much later) use as "Stand up and Tell 'em You're from Pittsburgh." This was probably the best known theme music by Frank Gari.
