The station is turning 75 next year on Halloween , so today they've decided to go back to using the theme on newscasts.This popped up on my Youtube it's the full first newscast with Hello News back, but the start of the video also shows their Hello Image campaign song is also being used again too, with new footage.
Here's the intro from noon

They did use it for their special "Hello Clinton" newscasts last week as well

Pretty nice to see, no change in graphics. They used Hello from 1990-2012 , then switched to "Breakthrough" and now have gone back to using "Hello"
Probably one of the most successful news themes and local TV station jingle packages ever, it even made it to Canada and Australia. It was first used at WISN-TV in Milwaukee in the late 70's.
