this song will always be special to me. every time i heard this song, it was time to pick up my dad from work and we'd go eat at my grandma's house for a family dinner. great memories
Ian Nichols yes email them about it. I have a few times. This is from 2005. This was the best theme music. I can’t believe they changed it for that awful music now.
Didn't appreciate these songs back in the 90s when they were fresh, it was only when I moved to Indianapolis in the 2000s decade and heard the local abc affiliate's news songs that I realized how inferior these were compared to what I heard back when I was young. It seems the major big ABC stations Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles all shared the same News Series 2000 and News Series 2000 Plus themes. While the smaller ABC networks in small cities did modified versions of the older Cool Hand Luke.
I agree, never cared for the ABC station in Indianapolis and their "RTV 6" branding. It has never worked to beat the other stations in the market, so I'm not sure why they keep it.
this is the best news theme ever. period. i've been to Chicago once, around the time this was broadcast. oh well. nice to see i was beamed with this incredible newscast on this incredible station. we used to have an ABC O&O here in detroit, WXYZ-TV, before they got split by the FCC. if WXYZ-TV hadn't existed, there would be no ABC, no WLS, no news series 2000 plus, not even news series 2000, as WXYZ saved ABC from going the way of Dumont in the fifties.
I don't like watching news in the Central Time Zone. A 5PM that ends at 5:30, there's a 4 on a station, but only a 4:30 in another, they stop for national news at 5:30, some return at 6, others skip to the tabloids, you can have either a news at 11am or noon, they extend their 6 o'clock to 7, some stations do a seven o'clock news, ten there are the 9 and 10 o'clocks.
I mean, in general, all stations before the Eastern Time Zone, I mean, it's quite weird. In Houston (i.e.), KPRC and KTRK have their middays at 11am. KHOU has a 12pm news. KTRK starts at 4pm. KPRC and KHOU have only a 5pm. How am I supposed to remember what time is the news on any which channel in some other market out in the heartland?
Oh wow, I didn't realize the Hothaus designed graphics went far back to 05. Wow those sexy graphics age like fine wine (unlike that set they had at that time.) Could get away using it in 2017 and not look dated.
We love to be news reporters because they can promote themselves everyday. Once they lose their jobs, they can easily find another soon. However, we cannot even have our personal blogs to promote ourselves. As every American people know that the U.S. is so competitive. We can never secure our careers. Even though, president just can maintain their careers for 8 years at most. If we do not try to keep on promoting ourselves, who can guarantee for our future?
We love our blogs the same as president, Ms. Clinton, and Mr. Obama love theirs. Again, American dream is just that kind of simple: 0% unemployment, fair, and peace. That is it. We can do that, who is supposed to be in charge. Period.
Still the best closing of any newscast in the country... I'll never understand why they changed it! Put it back how it was!
pro tip: watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

When I am home visiting this song makes me smile knowing I am home in Chicago. I currently live in North Carolina
this song will always be special to me. every time i heard this song, it was time to pick up my dad from work and we'd go eat at my grandma's house for a family dinner. great memories
Chicago is just an awesome city. I grew up there and can't wait to go back. seeing this makes me miss it in a good way.
Should write a letter to ABC 7 And bring back this music
Ian Nichols yes email them about it. I have a few times. This is from 2005. This was the best theme music. I can’t believe they changed it for that awful music now.
IKR! This theme made me get in to the news.

I love the synthesized cool hand luke scores they had.
I wish they would return to this great theme...the new versions are terrible.
I know. Right?
This is the best theme ever I miss it more than anything
@@SOSMOOTHGANG I agree. The newscasts aren't the same without it.

when will WLS bring back this them song?
Such a great song. WLS is the best ABC O&O.
Such a great cut, What a nice song!
Wow. Powerful. I would almost consider this to be the theme song of the city of Chicago
the best theme music ever. promise. =)

love this theme music
They need to start doing long ended credit music in every news station
based on this comment section you guys are about to convince me to go to chicago lol
well thanks to there not being a website plug, we have a crisp clean version of the NS2K+ sig on RUclips!
YAY! 2005!
I still miss the Cool Hand Luke Theme.
why do all the channelshave the same theme music ? abc must supply them with it huh?
I miss this ending it was the best
Oh wow, I didn't realize the Hothaus designed graphics went far back to 05. Wow those sexy graphics age like fine wine (unlike that set they had at that time.) Could get away using it in 2017 and not look dated.
Many of the news anchors we know have retired.
Was the closing shot from Chopper 7 or was it from a building rooftop?
From Chopper 7, there are no buildings in the middle of Lake Michigan.
ABC 7 news also have their own blog for promotion purpose.
They're still using this!
They ditched it a few years ago
@CHBetancourt I Was Remember Heard News Series 2000 Plus Before.
I remember this lol
It sounds like a bunch of different chopped up parts of their theme put together for an unexpected extended outro.
Who was the anchor of ABC World News Tonight in 2005?
Closed captioning for this newscast is brought to you by Jiffy Lube Chicagoland and northwest Indiana’s favorite oil change.
idk why but it makes me wanna go xmas shoping
I meant who can do that for us, who is supposed to be in charge.
Was that in old studio?
Folks, disregard the video response, i meant to add it to another video jmsweat had on here.
what date in december 2005 was this
@DrFubarProzak take it easy its only a news music theme
If you want us to do that, can you please show us how to do it for yourself first?
ABC7's music doesn't even compare to the Tower v1 theme with chimes that NBC5 uses.
25 degrees. nicee.
Srsly miss the theme music.
not lame when ur on tv

if they have to keep it, at least switch it to a better shot of them waving.
