As a child in 1980s NY, this intro meant one thing: BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!!!

Thanks for this - I was looking for one of these openings for a long time.

I remember this! (1986)

Gen X New Yorker in the building!

Sundays at 6pm.

Those who are curious as to what this piece of music is, it's titled "Manhattan", and is composed by Craig Palmer.

thanks for the memories

Wow classic!!!!

"Big Apple Movie" was essentially a rebranding of the Sunday 6 P.M. movie skein that was previously known as "Weekend Playhouse" (and, before that, "Sunday Playhouse").

Fox 5 WNEW/WNYW

This is more like 1986 movie intro

Really didn't like that manic, cheesy, uptempo music and hyped stills as a kid, now it's such a beautiful thing somebody saved it, but I kind of remember there being a woman exhaling cigarette smoke in one of the stills at one point, so maybe they changed it up.
