History of ABC World News Tonight intros | Intro Collector History

[@GFI888]

I'm glad ABC went back to using a version of the original WNT theme. I hope they keep it through the years.

[@rebecca8525]

The best choice ABC made since hiring David Muir.

[@pennolsen5451]

3:34 Howard K Smith sounds like a 180 year old man

[@Lipolimtown]

Wow really happy you’re glad very important stuff and thank you so much

[@BetheasByteReloaded]

When you hear that ABC News signature, that sound De-mands and Co-mands respect.

[@tarotest590]

I am Japanese. You can see this program edited down to a few minutes on the local broadcaster (NHK). I was shocked when the intro was changed for a while, but I sincerely welcome it back.

[@taydrabrookshire347]

RIP Peter 😢

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

He deserved more respect that's for sure; even more respect than Charles Gibson alone.

[@liampaynefan4life496]

And RIP Barbara Walters too

[@BetheasByteReloaded]

If we can say any great thing about Peter Jennings, I'll be blunt and say Peter WAS ABC News!

[@otaviofrn_adv]

It's curious in the very least to see Peter Jennings reporting about tobacco companies lying. It's public that he was a heavy smoker

[@mlc4495]

It's really wild to think about just how much has happened in the last 20 years.

[@DiaChris2004]

I really loved the 2012-2014 intro, it's best believe or not.

[@wbeck4]

Agree, but I see now why they brought the “traditional” theme back.

[@GaboTV1]

I'm a big sucker for the 1996 intro, no idea why

[@MrTokusatsuFan]

We need NBC Nightly News & PBS NewsHour all intros.

[@otanakugaming3357]

I still prefer the 2014-2015 studio

[@luca8978]

Hello Intro collector beautiful trailer you are a great youtuber ❤️❤️ keep it up

[@SirBiscuit45]

Maybe I could be wrong, but I anticipate for ABC World News Tonight to update its title-card/graphics soon to fit more ABC's recent Network rebrand. Currently, they've modified the ABC logo so far.

[@DarkPCTV]

It wouldn't surprise me because the current graphics package has been used since late 2015 just after David Muir took over the Anchor Chair

[@taydrabrookshire347]

Hopefully the Special Report graphics too. I’m not very fond of the current Special Report countdown and intro. IMO they’d look much better if they matched the World News graphics as in previous iterations.

[@rexology1431]

In my opinion, they should update both world news tonight and the ABC news live graphics given there pretty much the only programs on the network that have used 3D visuals for years at this point and are due for better graphics. So far they’ve only updated the logo and that’s about it

[@donmccullen1973]

Least we forget about The Captioned ABC News that ran from 1973 until 1982 on PBS and co-produced by PBS member station WGBH Boston who provided the open captions and their own information drop in during the breaks. Also World News Tonight was meant to be a global concept, now its just a brand.

[@JLCreativeProductions]

Very much so, "ABC America News Tonight" would better fit at this point!

[@rexology1431]

Does world news tonight not report news from around the world still? After all they do both national and world news

[@rockvilleraven]

@@JLCreativeProductions Or just ABC News Tonight.

[@akouna]

Nice recopilation!

[@igorsiuda8108]

They had very modern designs of Headlines, especially in 2000s. I like the font from this era, which is Century Gothic.

[@kritiskblick]

It's so nice to see the evolution of TV in News intros. I'm a fan of this!

[@trecchannel4205]

Did Peter Jennings flip the Soul II Soul song? “Mikhail Gorbachev is back in the Soviet Union,back to reality.”

[@MsRedrose6]

November 5 1984 💥Like that title card💥! ⭐️ABC NEWS is not the same without Peter Jennings⭐️ 🙏🏻Miss you Peter Jennings(1938-2005)💫!

[@allenjones3130]

Yes, that was the same John Daly who also hosted WHAT'S MY LINE? for Goodson/Todman and CBS!

[@cerberus_243]

The Hungarian TV2 Tenyek 2002-2005 intro was absolutely the same as ABC's 2000-2003 one.

[@zsomborkovacs553]

Well, TV2 was famous about stealing another's (but especially its competitor RTL's) ideas. 😂

[@cerberus_243]

@@zsomborkovacs553 igaz, nekem a Sztárban sztár lenyúlása a "kedvencem", amikor az RTL bejelentette, hogy elindítja a műsort lincenccel, a TV2 pedig gyorsan megalkotta és elindította a saját verzióját, amihez aztán később megvette a licencet és összekapcsolta őket.

[@zsomborkovacs553]

@@cerberus_243 Sok ilyen volt már az alatt a 25 év alatt. Egyébként állítólag az RTL-es Szombat Esti Láz sem volt licenc, csak a Dancing With the Stars koppintása.

[@myriadmediamusings]

The 2000-2003 logo was the one I vividly remember the most. It was cool to know when and how long that iconic theme was used and was brought back.

[@ronfogarty3888]

Awesome june 1990 was when byberry state hospital was closed i lived in Mayfair by cottman and barnard peter jennings was always on my grandmother's tv thanks for this keep up the good work

[@pandersonnike]

I never understood why ABC changed their iconic theme for a few years in the 2010s. It's an iconic theme, and I'm glad they brought it back. Also my favorite intros were in the mid-2000s with Charles Gibson. I like the graphics and color package then.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

Peter Jennings died around the same time The Weather Channel was getting a new logo; thus putting to an end two things that ruled the '80s and '90s; Peter's reign at ABC News and the uppercase Weather Channel logo.

[@sittiaidah5986]

Can you upload Buletin Utama TV3 intro history? I can't wait it since last year.

[@ryanmccauslin7578]

I've always liked the moog synthesizer WNT theme

[@TheLocalLt]

It’s actually kind of interesting to see the 2000 intro for the Bush v Gore campaign season pre-9/11, I tend to relate that theme and graphics package (which lasted from 2000-09) so much with 9/11 and the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

I thought the theme was 2000-12.

[@TheLocalLt]

@@JasonDelarosa2000 the graphics motif changed totally after Gibson along with the direction of the show, they might as well have just dropped the theme then… Not necessarily blaming Diane either, Charlie said that ABC management’s pushing the show in a less hard news direction is a main reason he quit

In a little over a month, five REDISCOVERED episodes of “John Daly And The News” have been posted here on KZbin. The episodes are from 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, and 1957. The intros have some differences from year to year. You will want to add them to your video compilation.

Until Gibson and 2008 ABC News was respected and decent (since the mid 1970’s). Then Diane Sawyer came and destroyed it! 🤯😰🫣🫠 (TBF Katie Couric did almost the same to CBS). I got a degree in Journalism/Communications. I could also see information changing as I was in college. It hasn’t been the same since, much more tabloid and opinion over facts and actuality.
