I lived in downtown Philadelphia back in the 90's and my cable company at the time had WGN. Whenever I watched their newscasts, I felt like I was living in another city.
Oh the memories! I grew up in Chicago watching WGN. Does anyone remember the weather warnings with Marty McNeeley and the hands signing? That scared the bejesus out of me everytime!
that should say it was available outside of the Chicago market through WGN America from 1978-2015. WGN no longer does simulcasts of their news anymore.
Can you find the one in which the camera is panning across the Chicago skyline in broad daylight and hot pink and silver graphics flashing on screen which read Chicago's Very Own (or whatever it was) along with the 1980s nine logo?
Man can some one tell me where I can find the musicians who played the night beat intro, I would like a copy of it for my jazz group. It would be a great surprise to play for our older crowd. I love this beat. smooth, jazzy and somewhat sad but I love it.
I know your request was from over three years ago, but apparently it took that long to find. HERE is your answer: th-cam.com/video/XtFc1xGX2mc/w-d-xo.html
At 6:00 to 6:20 and 7: 00 to 7: 30 you catch glimpses of a young Sonja Gantt , the daughter of a former mayor of Charlotte NC as an anchor . She returned to hometown and continued to anchor at a local station for about 20 years until she was retired .
So far sayin Sam Rubin live from Hollywood in a different VO actor was somehow weird but he’s the same guy covering gossip from every Tribune Media station
I can honestly say hell has frozen over. Also very surprising that Fox Television Stations decided to take the CW to WPWR-TV after starting up My Network TV the same time.
I love Marcus Leshock as an anchor, but i hated him in the open and rejoins. His voice IMO sounds super robotic, and like he's nervous but him as an anchor he has a super great, warm, and funny personality.
steve sanders is on the midday news, he looks like there's something wrong with his eyes. Always seems like he has vaseline or medicine around his eyes, i understand he's getting old, but its kind of distracting

5:15 was my favorite intro! Always loved the fly up!

Love The Night Beat Intros. Takes Me Back To When I Was A Teenager Watching The Late Movie Then Night Beat To Watch The Cubs Highlights!
Those Night Beat intros take me back when i used to stay up Summer nights, just to greet my father when he came home from work late nights.
o
Or going to work when it went off.
What nostalgia. It takes me back to times I came home from work late at night, put the TV news on and saw/heard this familiar lead-in. Just great!
I used to get WGN News on WGN America while living in Des Moines, IA
The old school openings just take me back.
3:55 GREATEST INTRO EVER! Every news show should start with this!
No
The wonderful world of magic is the music opening of the nightbeat intros from 1968 to 1981 which shows the city at night
Rest in peace to both Allison Payne and Jim Ramsey
And Randy Salerno (he was on WBBM at the time of his death)
