Edd Kalehoff "West 57th Steet Open" 

I love your theme, Edd! Especially with the late David Sanborn on Sax. May your memory, and music, be a blessing, David!!!

West 57th was the Channel One News of its Hay day God Bless You Edd Kalehoff for makin' this an AWESOME theme This is one of my favorites

This theme was a game-changer for network long-form news. When combined with the long-form show open, it made compelling programming. Thanks for sharing.

Loved this show as a GA reporter at a small TV station in Knoxville. Young and dumb enough to think I could produce, write, edit and present just like this on local TV. Got fired a few years later.

This is one of my favorite show opens! I've always liked your work. Thanks for sharing these!

Scott, without doubt that is David Sanborn on alto saxophone. No one else sounds like him. I know because I have met him several times over the years.

I loved the show and was one of the few (apparently) who watched it religiously back then. Part of that was because of the crush I had on Jane Wallace, but whatever. :) I thought the theme captured the essence of the 80s beautifully, and the opening credits overall were a masterpiece. Thanks for the trip back in time.

Meredith Vieira, "West 57th Street" 1987

Lots of overtones to the classic CBS 48 Hours theme of the late 1980s .. gratuitous slap bass, horns... I'm inclined to think this was a warmup to that (far superior) theme -- presuming Edd is behind that theme too ;)

Edd, this has always been one of my favorites of yours. The rhythm so perfectly matches the reveals, and for one of the first times in _news_ music, the saxophone echoes what you want the feeling of the viewer to be. I always thought the really flowery riff at Meredith was intentional. (I also had a huge crush on Meredith, but that's beside the point.) Question: Is it Tom Scott or perhaps David Sanborn on the sax? Or is it just one of Score's great studio musicians?

Have you still got a copy of your theme for NASCAR on TBS? If you do could you post a link? Grew up listening to that theme!

I was a fan of this show, until Meredith was fired because she needed to take time off to protect her pregnancy after three miscarriages. CBS let men take time off for a variety of reasons, but a woman couldn’t for a pregnancy. I quit watching it after that.
