Newscast Theme Music

"USA Tonight" by Michael Karp
>Listen to "USA Tonight" as heard on WUHF
Way back when, small Independent TV stations with no local news operation relied on the Independent News Network for the day's news. Heard here is the theme from the nightly newscast "USA Tonight". This newscast originated from WPIX New York. This theme was used in the late 1980's.

"Turn To News" by Gari Communications, Inc.

>Listen to "Turn To News" as heard on WUHF
This theme package was used by WUHF in the 1980's for IDs, promos, and for the Cinema 31 movie showings.

"News Source" by Gari Communications, Inc.
>Listen to "News Source" as heard on WUHF
WUHF started using "News Source" in 1998 when they launched their local news operation. "News Source" was used on WUHF until December 2002.

"
Sinclair News Music Package" by Stephen Arnold Music
>Listen to the "Sinclair News Music Package" as heard on WUHF
WUHF started using the "Sinclair News Music Package" in December of 2002. This package was made exclusively for stations that are owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. WUHF stopped carrying NewsCentral on August 31, 2005.

"NewsEdge" by Stephen Arnold Music
>Listen to "NewsEdge" as heard on WUHF
In August 2005, WUHF entered into a joint sales and shared services agreement with the Nexstar Broadcasting Group.
