Newswire (news music)

'''Newswire''' is an [[United States|American]] [[television news music package]] composed by 615 Music. It was originally created for [[Chicago]]'s [[WMAQ-TV]] in 1992.

While WMAQ no longer uses the theme, it is still used by several other stations, for example [[WEEK-TV]] in [[Peoria, Illinois]] (since 1996) and [[WAVY]] in [[Portsmouth, Virginia]] (since 1995).
