Just uploaded from my collection:

KHNL Hawaii News 8 - one of the best themes you'll hear, and one of my favourite stations - along with 'must-see' KHON from the previous page! KHNL only began news output a year prior in 1995.



National Nine News Flash - Gulf War 1991. My apologies - very brief clip.



C4 Daily - Business Daily and Closing Titles 1989



C4 The World This Week Closer - another edition I recorded. A fantastic theme.

Here is the Halloween ident for the spanish language network Telemundo as seen from their Puerto Rico stations

And sticking with Telemundo' Puerto Rico outfit, here is an ident celebrating 60 years. The stations were WKAQ 2 San Juan, WUHP 20 Ponce and WUHM 22 Mayaguez were Telemundo' inaugural stations before eventually breaking into mainland US

As well as their colour ident of 1968, which also identified the Telemundo family of stations in Puerto Rico

The signature tune of that programme, starts with the Pompey Chimes, which as any resident of South Hampshire will tell you is used in Portsmouth by everybody from the city's football supporters, the Royal Navy, and even (to remain reasonably on topic) the city's 1970/80s ILR station, Radio Victory

Quite how the NOS ended up using it is beyond me, but the whole title sequence seems to be the product of smoking far too many 'substances'.
