History

Origins

The earliest known use of the Eyewitness News name in American television was in April 1959 when KYW-TV (now WKYC-TV) in Cleveland, owned at the time by Westinghouse Broadcasting, launched the nation's first 90-minute local newscast (under the title Eyewitness), combined with the then 15-minute national newscast. The year 1959 ( MCMLIX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. WKYC-TV, channel 3 is an NBC -affiliated television station located in Cleveland Ohio, owned by the Gannett Company.

After KYW-TV moved to Philadelphia in 1965 (the result of a government-ordered reversal of the 1956 Westinghouse/NBC station swap) its then-news director, Al Primo, created the Eyewitness News format.

Expansion

In 1968, Primo moved to WABC-TV in New York City and took the Eyewitness News concept there with him, choosing music from the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke -- the "Tar Sequence" cue (composed by Lalo Schifrin) -- as the theme. Year 1968 ( MCMLXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American Drama film starring Paul Newman and directed by Stuart Rosenberg. Lalo Schifrin (born June 21, 1932) is an Argentine pianist and Composer. However, he added a new twist at WABC-TV -- chatter among the anchors, which came to be known as "happy talk". Happy talk, also called banter, is the additional and often meaningless Commentary interspersed into News programs by News anchors and others WABC-TV has kept the name and format since then, and has been the highest-rated station in New York for much of that time.

The format, as tweaked by WABC-TV, was copied by many other stations in the United States, with three other stations owned and operated by ABC -- KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WLS-TV in Chicago, and KGO-TV in San Francisco -- using both the format and the Cool Hand Luke theme.

Ironically, WPVI, which developed the Action News format, is also now an ABC owned-and-operated station.

In addition, U. S. Spanish-language stations also use their own version of Eyewitness News, called Noticias de Primera Plana (Headline News, a concept translation in Spanish of Eyewitness News) on its owned-and-operated stations.

WYTV is owned by Parkin Broadcasting but is managed by New Vision Television (owner of Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) Frank Gari (born Frank Daniel Garofalo in New York City on April 1, 1942) is a popular singer and songwriter from the late 1950s and early 1960s

Since 1968, ABC's large market owned-and-operated stations had used the "Cool Hand Luke" theme on their newscasts. In 1983, they started using News Series 2000, an updated version of the original Schifrin theme, composed by Frank Gari, that had been originally commissioned by WLS-TV in Chicago. News Series 2000 is an updated and expanded version of the original ABC owned-and-operated stations' Eyewitness News theme an edited version Frank Gari (born Frank Daniel Garofalo in New York City on April 1, 1942) is a popular singer and songwriter from the late 1950s and early 1960s

However, in 1993, Schifrin raised his royalties for using Cool Hand Luke and its variations to a level that effectively priced the theme out of the local news market. Year 1993 ( MCMXCIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar) Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American Drama film starring Paul Newman and directed by Stuart Rosenberg. As a result, Gari was commissioned by WABC-TV in New York to compose a new music package called Eyewitness News. This new package, based slightly on Cool Hand Luke, has been updated several times. WABC-TV currently uses the Series 4 version, which was specifically updated for the station in 1999. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar)

Besides being used in America, the Eyewitness News music package has also been picked up for use overseas. Hong Kong Cable News has been using it for its morning newscast, and POP TV in Slovenia has been using it for its main newscasts. Cable TV Hong Kong (Hong Kong Cable/HKCTV previously known as Wharf Cable before October 1998 is owned and operated by I-CABLE Communications Limited. POP TV is a private television network in Slovenia that began broadcasting on December 15, 1995. Slovenia, officially the Republic of Slovenia (Republika Slovenija) is a Country in southern Central Europe bordering Italy to the west It is also used by Nine Network and its affiliates for their newscasts in Australia. The Nine Network, or Channel Nine, is an Australian television network based in Willoughby, a suburb on the North Shore of Sydney National Nine News, or Nine News, is the news service of the Australian Nine Network.

A station using the Eyewitness News music package might not necessarily use the Eyewitness News title for its newscasts, and vice versa. For example, WXYZ-TV in Detroit uses the music package, but uses the Action News format and branding, and in 2006 KGO-TV started using the Eyewitness News package but brands its newscasts as 'ABC 7 News HD'. WXYZ-TV, channel 7 is the ABC affiliated television station in Detroit. Action News is a local television newscast format in the United States.

In 2005, Gari Communications renamed the Eyewitness News-New Generation news package to the ABC O&O News Collection, as the packages are now only commissable by ABC owned-and-operated stations and affiliates. Despite this, many still refer to the package as Eyewitness News.
