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.P.S. -- If you are watching this video from a web browser, sorry about the poor image quality. The material looks great in its native H.264 codec. YouTube's old Sorenson Spark codec is the weak link.

Didn't know WCVB also used "And You" as a theme song...I know it was used in the mid-80s on both WOR here in NY/NJ and KYW in Philly...also, the graphics made it look like a clone of WNBC's "NewsCenter 4" from the same era.

A minor quibble: it's spelled McIntyre in that first open and MacIntyre in the second.

I don't know how it worked Ann but in the late '80s and early '90s when they had Derm (I can't think of his last name) doing the sign language on the EyeOpener, he would sit next to Jim Boyd or Susan Burke and he'd interpret the news for about 2-3 minutes per newscast.

Yea, I was wondering the same thing. This must have been before closed captioning. Still a really nice gesture.

How did it work with Ann McIntyre? Did she sit next to Bob at the desk and sign, or did they have her in a little circle in one corner of the screen?

Damn..."And You" is a catchy little tune, and the outline animations seemed pretty impressive for the '70s. That's what quality looks like.To the comment that Ernie Anderson sounded condescending when he mentioned deaf viewers, I think he sounded like that because he thought it was stupid to use spoken word to promote a service for the deaf. Unlike some of the TV personalities they're hired to promote, voiceover announcers are very reasonable people. Most of them also work(ed) in radio.

Does anyone know who composed the "And You" theme music for Telesound?

I remember when I was a little kid in Kindergarten, and there were only the 3 network stations, PBS-2, and a couple of UHF stations, all stations signed off for the night. And the first one to come on in the morning was Channel 5. As an 'early riser' at that age, I used to get up at 5:30, turn on the TV and watch Bob Clinkscale, Bob Copeland and Ann McIntyre in the Eyeopener News broadcast for 1/2hr to 1 hr till the first cartoons came on. Things sure have changed since then.
