WABC-TV is best known for popularizing the Eyewitness News format, in which reporters present their stories directly to the viewers. Eyewitness News is a name used by local television newscasts widely used in different markets across the United States. News director Al Primo brought the format to WABC-TV in 1968 from KYW-TV in Philadelphia, but added a twist -- chatter among the anchors, known as "happy talk.

Lalo Schifrin (born June 21, 1932) is an Argentine pianist and Composer. The score included a telegraphic-like melody appropriate for a newscast. Both the Eyewitness News format and theme music were quickly adopted by three of ABC's other large market owned-and-operated stations -- WLS-TV in Chicago, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, and KGO-TV in San Francisco.

WABC's news department is respected for its straight-forward presentation (especially during breaking news).
