WGN News Long Close - 05-18-12

So apparently the closing music picks up right where the end-of-first-block teaser music typically stops right before they play the talent opener. I guess this kind of gives you an idea of what the closing would sound like if they had even more time left over at the end of a newscast.

Now that is a perfect example of a proper close of a newscast. and The Tribune slate is perfect.

See that? REAL camera men still! :D

[@BCOPTV]

Yeah, for a few months. It looks like they went to PTZ robots in early 2013. They could've still trucked the camera in the closes seen here if they were careful enough!

Amazing!!

I think the theme is awesome...especially the long version. The longer, the better. Any thoughts on the composer? And you're right, news89, the Tribune slate fits in perfectly. Currently I live in DC but originally from Chicago. We were getting the News at 10 until recently. We now get WGN America and the morning and midday news. Hearing the theme, makes me homesick.

This is a late reply, but it was created by 615 music, who is owned by Warner Chappell. Google Warner Chappell WGN and their sample will pop up.

[@dc4u54]

615 Music I think.
