This is a recapture of a news open that WOKR used for a brief period between 1984 and 1985. The video was upscaled to 4K using A.I.-based software and the music bed has been replaced to omit voice-over.
Frank Gari provided the music for WOKR, and later WHAM-TV for over 33 years until Sinclair Broadcast Group took control of the station and replaced 13's on-air look and sound in 2014. The particular theme heard here is from Gari's "Hello News" package, which was in use by WOKR in some capacity from 1981 until the night the station signed off in 2005. The 5 and 10 second IDs that the station aired to promote local programming contained an instrumental version of "Hello Rochester. "
The complete newscast will be available in high quality at a later date.
