@@gavinproduction7433 For anyone who hasn't seen them, the 2002 version after 9/11 from an old Pyburn (video production and graphic company) demo reel: czcams.com/video/ZVTyCW_uAPg/video.html
I was about 9 or 10 years old when the fall network campaigns caught my heart. The "NBC US" and "CBS:Turn Us On" was when I knew my life would be in television. About 10 years after that, was cutting my first affiliate versions of "We've Got The Touch" in the Virgin Islands for WBNB-TV. Over the years wrote a few of these jingles and news themes as well. That said, **THIS** is the platinum standard of television image campaigns. I miss these things. Thanks for posting! -Matt Locker
I remember taking more of a liking to NBC around this time, CBS seemed to be the old persons channel...NBC was more young and hip and colorful. Seinfeld was starting to take hold of America, Must See TV etc
Eight years after the promos were released the World Trade Center collapsed. Seven years later Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and the beginning of the end for New York came upon us. Despite the city rebuilding enough to recover from the attacks the recovery of the city only lasted 18 years; its final collapse began in September 2019 as a result of massive debt problems. Five months later the coronavirus pandemic began and all Broadway shows ceased. The city is expected to be devastated by the upcoming climate crisis and this is going to be worse than anything the city ever experienced.
New York is strong never bet against the city, if it got through Covid I'm sure I'll get through Climate Change. Those are all exaggerations about New York and lower Manhattan become the Hudson River.
They were beautiful symbols. My dad worked in tower one. I remember the day he took me to work with him when I was five...1980. The night before, I couldn’t sleep from the excitement. The express elevators launched you like a rocket to the sky lobby. I remember the distinctive ding, ding, ding, ding sound the elevators made alerting you that your cab was about to arrive. Looking down from the 92nd floor, the cars looked like toys and the people, like ants. I was so proud that my dad worked in those buildings. Years after his company left the WTC, I was in Manhattan on a vacation and I visited them one last time, this time going to the observation deck. It was 9/6/2001. I had an strange feeling that day. Little did I know that tragedy was just days away. My dad died a couple of years ago but the WTC will always be associated with my memories of him.
I'm not from New York originally. But i cant help but sing this song out loud when i discovered it over 10 years ago as a TV Music aficionado.
Being a longtime NBC person, it’s always great to watch content from the best in the industry!
Me too
I really think that after COVID is fully behind us that this should be brought back. There’s so much about this song that is uplifting.
I agree with you, no doubt about it!!!
@@MegaJuanTrinidad They sure did after 9/11 to uplift us.

Especially after 9/11
Absolutely
Chuck is the only one left and still going strong
Chuck Scarborough, 80 years old
Edd Kalehoff is the greatest! He even works and associated with Score Productions who did several news themes, sports themes and game show themes.
Curtis King and Andrea McArdle are duets singing we're 4 New York!

I have always loved this song. I share this on every anniversary of 9/11
If there's a greater local TV campaign song out there, I'd like to hear it. Not holding my breath, though; hard to top the thrill of being number one.
Julie Gold was the lyricist and Curtis King is the other principal singer besides Andrea McArdle.
@BruceAlanJohnson I hope you will reply to this Julie Gold wrote From a Distance that was a hit for Bette Midler in 1990
i think thats edd kalehoff playing the guitar!
Bingo!
I went to New York many times.
WNBC is the NBC owned and operated station.
We're 4 New York.
It's literally the flagship station of the NBC television network.
@@rhapsodyshadow_ true.
It is.
We're NBC!!!
2:13 Don't tell me that's WNBC's helicopter from 1993. It looks so plain without the peacocks.
@Michael O'Keefe you’re right! New Opinion: WNBC SUCKED AT THE TIME!
But those were the WNEW/WNYW ones...........
Before #Choppa4... LMAO
Idk think it was. They may not had one.
@@gavinproduction7433 - pretty sure they had an A-Star at the time, tail number N4NY. The bird here is a Bell 407.
Late 80s Early 90s
Lyrics, please
Nice that they gave other areas a shoutout, but 92 version was slightly better than this one.

I wish I was born in the 80s so I could see the twin towers in the 90s! My dad had me in 2001 I should have grown up in the 90s. He was born in 1949
