Life After the Black Sox - A Collaborative TL (with a Twist that Is)

[stratonapba]

I think KFSN would have a mashup of "News Series 4000" and "Turn to News", rather than use a straight rendition of the "Turn to News" theme. WISN in Milwaukee also picked up the Love Boat Mermaids version of the "Move Closer to Your World" song that was using instead of the Palmer News Package.

On January 1984, WISN, instead of using the Jim Kirk WWL News theme, used "MCTYW '83" by Tuesday Productions, replacing the ABC World News Tonight theme.

But in 1989, WISN will get creative to replace two different renditions of Move Closer To Your World with Vocals by Bananarama and a Bunch of Singers and Dancers led by an Ex-Fremont Featherette named Teri Hatcher called the Love Boat Mermaids, For a New Custom Package by Frank Gari called "Making a Difference" however WRGB in Albany, NY will use that theme as well and will have a New Image Campaign to top it off.

Up Next: Part 2 of 1983 in Pageantry with Miss America, Miss Canada and Miss World.

Let's Take a Look at What We Will See for 1984 for the TV Themes

FOX: They will continue using Debbie Deb's When I Hear Music beginning with the Daytona 500 but later this year Tom Bahler decided to join forces with Dance Artist Debbie Deb to sing "Lookout Weekend" for the 1984 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series Coverage.

TriNet: Will Now Start Using Toni Basil's "Street Beat" for the 1984 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series Season.

TBS: TBS will still use "Far From Over" by Frank Stallone for 3 Races in 1984, The Change to the Song is Choir Drill so the Bonita Vista High School Co-Ed Show Choir Team that performs on the Field, The Music Machine will sing that song and it will be used to enter the Rhythm Radio Countdown for 1984.

However a Sound Alike Version of "Far From Over" called "Hot Track" by Parry Music Library will be used for Motorweek Illustrated when it airs on TBS.

ESPN: After Using A Remake of "18th Avenue (Kansas City Nightmare)" by the Fremont Featherettes for Two Years, John Colby made a new re-arrangement of The Theme Music for Auto Racing '84 based on "18th Avenue (Kansas City Nightmare)" by Cat Stevens

Then Before the Talent Competition, Deanna Fogarty performed "Here's To The Band" that was sung by Frank Sinatra.

And Before the Swimsuit Competition, Miss America 1981 Susan Powell sang "We Dance So Close To The Fire" from the 1983 Movie "Stayin' Alive" complete with some instrumental from Frank Stallone's "Far From Over" however that will later be charted on the Rhythm Radio Charts during October 1983 in which it got defeated by Banamarama's Cover Version of Al Ham's "Move Closer To Your World"

But In The End of the Pageant, Vanessa Williams from New York won the Title (ITTL Note: Her appearence on Penthouse Magazine which led to her Resignation as Miss America 1984 is Butterflied Away)

Miss Canada 1984: Aired on CTV on November 7, 1983 with a Simulcast to Listeners in the USA & Canada on Rhythm Radio and Is Hosted by Jim Perry (from The Game Show Definition on CTV and $ale of the Century on CTV & NBC) along with Robin Ward (Guess What on CTV & FOX) and Christine Cattell guest performing along with 38 Contenders competing for the Crown.
