This is too cool! I lived in Pgh 1980-85 while an undergrad at Pitt. I always liked the morph of the Golden Triangle into the WTAE logo. And the strings and the tempo of the music always sounded "urgent"... like the city itself always seemed. I listened to WTAE-AM in the mornings with O'Brien and Garry too... great way to start the day. I remember how cold it was that Christmas too. Thanks for the great flashback!

I remember 11 Alive in Atlanta,GA (WXIA) and WTVK-TV 26 (now WVLT-TV 8) in Knoxville, TN had the same exact news open music that played at the beginning of the newscast.

There were and still are Hearst stations. They mostly had the same music and similar sets more than once I'm sure.

Holy Cow! WBAL's and WTAEs sets looked SO much alike at this time!

wtaetv recently posted a few old promos on here including a classic with Paul and Don.

Okay! Okay! We Understand! It was a Bitterly Cold Christmas in Pittsburgh! LOL!

Yeah, there was one from around 1971 or '72 that had Don and Paul riding horseback through the wild country and there were these scruffy characters on the bluff looking at them and saying, "Who ARE those guys?" I think this scene was borrowed from the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." It was great!

Sally Wiggin was on WTAE since that time? I didn't know that.
