Here are a few news opens that were in use by WCVB-TV in Boston between 1978 and the early '80s. The music ("And You") was created by the now-defunct Telesound. All rights are acknowledged. Today, Channel 5 is Boston's closest example of a full-service local station and the current market leader.

YouTube's old Sorenson Spark codec is the weak link. less
