Views: 1294

Here's the original opening titles for Newscene with Kathy McFarland on WFLD Channel 32. This was from a studio tape, so that's all there is.

You can hear the music was a little reminiscent of the opening to the CBS In the News segments. Also, this theme differs from one heard in a later Newscene opening.
