Action News Theme with Vocals

[@DucNguyen0131]

I remember hearing the theme when the then-CBS affiliate in Omaha, WOW-TV (at that time, it was still owned by Meredith Corporation, the station was sold off to Chronicle Publishing Company in 1975, it is now NBC affiliate WOWT) used it in the mid-1970s.

The theme to WNEP News Watch 16 since 1976. RIP Nolan Johannes, Tim Karlson, and Jill Garrett.

But now they use a cheap abbreviated version of it.

[@isabeld.paredes4923]

Also used in Puerto Rico as the theme music (minus the vocals) for WKAQ-TV/Telemundo's newscast Telenoticias en Acción (roughly translated as Telenews [or TV News] in Action) from 1976 until 1982 (or early 1983). The station also used it to announce their own programs just before they started during those years EDIT: Should read "...to announce its own programs just before they started..."

Tonight's AccuWeather word: May all uour days be salubrious. I will always remember Commander Tom Jolls.

From KXAS-TV in Fort Worth, this is Channel 5 Action News with Chip Moody; Harold Taft with Weather; and Jim Brinson with Sports; and now, ACTION NEWS!

[@danielmkubacki]

I love this theme. I would love to find this on a 45.

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

Me too!!! And I'll also have mine on a pre-recorded music CD as well. If you don't mind.

This was also a theme song for WTEN Channel 10's (Albany, NY) Action News in the 1970s

Now I know everything! WPIX TV - New York made this famous before WPVI TV - Philadelphia did. I'm jk jk. Both PIX NY And PVI had this theme. I'm thinking about putting a photo slideshow together and I'm really wanting to use this theme. All of you in the Philadelphia - Delaware Valley - Jersey Shore area are LUCKY!!! Lucky to have grown up to this fantastic tunes of this! I'm talking about the people that grew up in the 70s through the 90s.

WIIC/WPXI 11 (NBC) in Pittsburgh also had this theme.

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

Back in 1973 when I was ten-years-old going on eleven, the vocalized theme song "Move Closer to Your World, My Friend" was also featured on KRIS-TV channel six's "Pro Six News" with Tony de Harro (news anchorman), Carlton Adams (weather meteorologist) and Bob Tucker (sports director) in Corpus Christi, Texas. I really & truly love it!!! It's really & truly beautiful & gorgeous!!! Oh well, no news is good news.

I'm very lucky to be born in Salem, NJ back in 2003. And ever since, Matt, Tam, Karen and Pellman still make me happy every single weekday morning.

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

Congratulations on your forty-fifth like & fifteenth comment and more importantly, how's that for a song & dance routine!!!

The best Enough said

[@am74343]

Someone here on KZbin used to have a version of Move Closer to Your World from the early 1980s from Sydney, Australia that's more "elegant-sounding", with a lot of violins and piano glissandos, but I can't find it! Can anyone locate it for me? Thanks!

[@americo_san]

Me too! I've been looking for it since I've listened to this version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaivk6R4gZiUh7sm7s

[@williamweiss5615]

I know the video that you are referring to. I believe that the uploader was suspended quite some time ago. The arrangement that you are referring to is on Track 9 of MCTYW.

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

Amazing!!!
