Channel 4 in NYC in 1984 was the best! I was 12 years old at the time and living in Florida away from my beloved city of New York City where I was born! Great memories!
let's take a moment to appreciate this is the flagship news program for the greatest city in the world and they scenery they choose to run with the credits is marshland by a shipping canal zooming in on a garbage barge
I have been looking for "clean" (without voices overlapping and complete) versions of this news music package since the 1980's. I have several cuts but would LOVE the opportunity to get the full compilation which, if like most music packages, must have about 100 cuts for different uses and timing lengths. There is a News Music Museum that I have been in contact with that would love to have this for historic purposes. I have tried everything. From speaking with one of the audio engineers who worked at NBC at the time, to the actual composer who admits he never cataloged the music and has no idea where it is. I'm not kidding, I have the emails between Scott Schreer and myself stating this. "Help me, fans of 1980's News 4 New York. You're my only hope."
I also liked seeing the shot at the bottom of Live at Five (early edition) going into the News 4 New York evening edition w/Taibbi and Hambrick which had the 1979 peacock on the right of the screen on top of the Live at Five title, and the late, great Don Pardo saying, "This has been Live at Five with Jack Cafferty and Sue Simmons. Live at Five is a presentation of News 4 New York. This is Don Pardo speaking."
Ha. That news theme was promoted to NBC TV stations. We had it in Cleveland's WKYC TV an NBC O&O. I thought I was watching WKYC for a moment, seeing Al Roker and John Hambrick, who'd been at WKYC,

I would love to help, but sorry I can't

To all the Dislikers -
What the f**k are you doing?
I love the lightning strike intro
“Hope you’ll join us on monday when our guests include […] actor Kevin Conroy.”
☹️
What did Mike Taibbi mean when he said, "Unless you're 724, we'll see you at 11"?
I have wondered that too. I interpret it to mean if you only watch the Friday 6 PM news (7 days) or the 6PM news (24 hours) then we'll see you at 11.
That's a great point-- he said it so fast, that it's hard to know exactly.
@@bmasters1981 "unless you're in at 724" meant Taibbi was providing the News 4 Update as in the time...
@@MinifigNewsguy I take it then that he would be delivering an update/newsbrief (News 4 Update) at that time that evening.
What happened to news with long credits
This version of the News 4 New York the beginning part was a second version of the previous version back i think 1982 or 1983
That was actually when WNBC seized the local rights to "The People's Court" away from WABC-TV.
WEEK Peoria used this package for their Live at Five program in the 1980s. Their main package was Hello News from Frank Gari.
The "News 4 New York" theme was by Jim McAllister.

That's how they used to relay signals before satellites and optic fiber became the norm.
