WLS-TV news opens 

We will be heading to Albany, NY to do a reupload of WNYT news compilation. But first, we have some unfinished business to do. “Eyewitness News. The Chicago Area’s Leading News!” “ABC7 News. Chicago’s #1 News!” BEHOLD! - The 53 minute compilation of my favorite ABC O&O stations (behind WABC-TV in New York, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, KTRK in Houston, and WPVI in Philadelphia) WLS-TV news compilation! I added most of its news opens, but not of all because I do not wanna make 90 minute compilation of it. Feel free to take a sip of your beverage every time you hear “Chicago’s #1 News!” Enjoy!
