Extended closing music of News Series 2000 Plus on WLS-TV in December 2005. You'll notice this was before they started the website plug at the end of the newscasts.
this song will always be special to me. every time i heard this song, it was time to pick up my dad from work and we'd go eat at my grandma's house for a family dinner. great memories
Ian Nichols yes email them about it. I have a few times. This is from 2005. This was the best theme music. I can’t believe they changed it for that awful music now.
Didn't appreciate these songs back in the 90s when they were fresh, it was only when I moved to Indianapolis in the 2000s decade and heard the local abc affiliate's news songs that I realized how inferior these were compared to what I heard back when I was young. It seems the major big ABC stations Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles all shared the same News Series 2000 and News Series 2000 Plus themes. While the smaller ABC networks in small cities did modified versions of the older Cool Hand Luke.
I agree, never cared for the ABC station in Indianapolis and their "RTV 6" branding. It has never worked to beat the other stations in the market, so I'm not sure why they keep it.
this is the best news theme ever. period. i've been to Chicago once, around the time this was broadcast. oh well. nice to see i was beamed with this incredible newscast on this incredible station. we used to have an ABC O&O here in detroit, WXYZ-TV, before they got split by the FCC. if WXYZ-TV hadn't existed, there would be no ABC, no WLS, no news series 2000 plus, not even news series 2000, as WXYZ saved ABC from going the way of Dumont in the fifties.
I don't like watching news in the Central Time Zone. A 5PM that ends at 5:30, there's a 4 on a station, but only a 4:30 in another, they stop for national news at 5:30, some return at 6, others skip to the tabloids, you can have either a news at 11am or noon, they extend their 6 o'clock to 7, some stations do a seven o'clock news, ten there are the 9 and 10 o'clocks.
Oh wow, I didn't realize the Hothaus designed graphics went far back to 05. Wow those sexy graphics age like fine wine (unlike that set they had at that time.) Could get away using it in 2017 and not look dated.
I mean, in general, all stations before the Eastern Time Zone, I mean, it's quite weird. In Houston (i.e.), KPRC and KTRK have their middays at 11am. KHOU has a 12pm news. KTRK starts at 4pm. KPRC and KHOU have only a 5pm. How am I supposed to remember what time is the news on any which channel in some other market out in the heartland?
We love to be news reporters because they can promote themselves everyday. Once they lose their jobs, they can easily find another soon. However, we cannot even have our personal blogs to promote ourselves. As every American people know that the U.S. is so competitive. We can never secure our careers. Even though, president just can maintain their careers for 8 years at most. If we do not try to keep on promoting ourselves, who can guarantee for our future?
We love our blogs the same as president, Ms. Clinton, and Mr. Obama love theirs. Again, American dream is just that kind of simple: 0% unemployment, fair, and peace. That is it. We can do that, who is supposed to be in charge. Period.
