One of their less impressive efforts I must say..they seem to have a thing for remixing the normal theme (which is fine as it is!).

SNA have about 4 different remixes of the theme, the one on that clip isn't on that much anymore but it does sometimes appear on First Edition or News Day.

Gavin, are you thinking of KCOP, Channel 13 in Los Angeles? If you are, I think I know what you are referring to: a news intro featuring a 3D rendering of the station's "13" logo and images of the anchors. I can't find it online at the moment, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Or just 15 minutes ago

You might be right. Long time since I lived there.

The "13" was in a tall oval shape and formed up to a piece of classical music.

Your eagle eyes are much appreciated.

Oh, I guess I was thinking of a later news intro. Based on your description, could this...

...be what you're looking for?

Oh my god! That's it!

I never thought I would see that again.

You, Sir, are a star.

No, just thank the magic of the "Internets"!

Not at all. I remembered the call sign incorrectly which had made my searches fruitless. There's no substitute for an expert.

Kudos to you. I'm going to scour Youtube now I have the right name.

Thanks again.

Glad I could help! I noticed, BTW, that Dailymotion.com seems to have more KCOP clips than YouTube.

Here are current (2008) national news opens from Italy's major networks:

(Note that one of the intros misspells Sydney, which is spelled the same in Italian as it is in English)
