Reminds me of my younger days. I think of being in my grandparents living room in the 1980's. I can work with this kind of music in the background.

RIP Dr. George Fischbeck. He passed away this morning at age 92. Jerry, Fast Eddie, Stu, Schubeck, et al, are all waiting to see you in Heaven's Eyewitness News newsroom. :(

This version was used from the 1970's to 1993 until Frank Gari (composer of theme) introduced a modern version of News Series 2000 but still retained the classic theme. Very rarely was this heard unless it was from the 1967 movie Cool Hand Luke which the theme was based off of. Only once in my lifetime do I remember this entire theme on a Friday night when the full credits were rolling and they decided to use the CHL theme instead of their usual Friday theme.

Lalo Schifrin was the composer of this theme. Frank Gari just updated it.

Number one in Southern California; Channel 7, KABC-TV, Los Angeles. Now, Harold Green; Laura Diaz; Dallas Raines, weather; and Jim Hill, sports. When news happens, you see it happen on Eyyyyyewitness News. Ernie Anderson on the call.

A lot of women had a crush on Dallas Raines in the 80s. Including my then girlfriend!

Wait a minute, when did Jim Hill become a part of Eyewitness News??? I always thought he was "CBS 2 'til I die!!!" He had been doing sports for years on KNXT/KCBS for years!!! What caused him to switch stations??? He was always one of the greats in Southern California sports news history, loved watching Jim Hill, he was the most accurate and a first class sportscaster.

This is how ALL news should be intro'd and outro'd! Adopted from 1960s film "Cool Hand Luke", by the way.

KGO dropped the original theme in '82, and used various 'remakes' interspersed with unrelated themes for several years, before the 'classic' theme returned from late '80s-mid-'90s

Yup, ABC legend Ernie Anderson provided the voice over for WABC and KABC opens back then.

Wow! I'd grown up with this, but never heard the complete theme - what a piece of music!! You're being a complete tease for not naming the composer, but the final apir of bars, with the pizzicato guitar part that sounds like "Down Here On The Ground" may be a clue.

Lalo Schifrin, he wrote a lot of other great stuff too.

Thanks, Nora. I've been catching up with a period I'd almost forgotten about. Just finished listening to "Shaft." What great fun!

This music is an edit version from the "Cool Hand Luke" soundtrack. The track is called "Tar Sequence". If you watch the movie, it is odd hearing without the context of a news program!

When the news was real, WABC had a super long list of legendary names. Roger Grimsby, Bill Beutel, Roger Sharp, Doug & John Johnson (no relation), young Geraldo Rivera, Roseann Scamerdella, future GMA anchor Joan Lunden, Melba Tolliver, Robert Miller (Sara Lee Kessler's future husband), Milton Lewis, Spencer Christian, Joel Seigel, Tracey Egan, Ira Joe Fisher, Kaity Tong, Peter Bannon, Josh Howell, Ernie Anastos, Tex Antoine, Storm Field, Gil Noble, Melinda Nix, Gloria Rojas, Penny Chrone, Warner Wolf, and announcers Scott Vincent, Gil Hodges, and Ernie Anderson. Gil Hodges & Ernie Anderson sounded like each other. All ABC Ch. 7's need to go back to their navy blue blazers with the yellow circle 7 logo in this day in age.
