I believe this to be the music for the Channel 5 Weekend Playhouse movie. I also believe channel 5 used this music for "we are experiencing operating difficulties...pleas e stand by". Still searching for the video opening of WEEKEND PLAYHOUSE.
In NY, on channel 5 we now have FOX5. But, back then there was no FOX channel around the lower 1980s. They just call it WNEW5. Here is a 1984 WNEW5 ident. Notice the 5 animation is perfect example of 1980 ident animations

I also did a parody of the WNEW-TV Morning News spoof where I do an impression of Ed Ladd where he did a report on why PlayItBogart got suspended on YouTube this past week about the GTA games and Take 2 Games. Screw you!
Now that Armake21 is gone, PlayItBogart is next, he is gone too. YouTube is pissing me off.

Here it is. The classic opening of The 10 O' Clock News for WNEW-TV Channel 5 (currently WNYW Fox 5) serving the five boroughs of New York, New Jersey, and Southern Connecticut. I'll see if I can the one with Bill Jorgensen anchoring. Enjoy!

The kid shows were piped in like utilities: you turned on the set just about any time a kid would want to watch TV, and there these guys were. For many of us, the great Sandy Becker WAS New York TV. Fred Scott read the news following his kids show; once he forgot who he was talking to and said, "This is the Channel 5 News, Uncle Fred Scott reporting."
