Decade 90
Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEC : Decade 90
Decade 90 was a television news package composed by 615 Music. It was first used in 1989 by KCAL in Los Angeles, California. Its musical logo was created to sound like KCAL's nickname at the time, "California 9."
Although Decade 90 is no longer is in use (it was discontinued by 615 Music), it is unique in many ways: it is so far the only 615 Music-composed news music package with an image campaign song; it is the basis for the Viacom News Package currently used by KCAL and KCBS-TV as well as another KCAL news package, The Hammer. 615 Music, incidentally, composed both themes.

The following are the lyrics to the "Decade 90" image campaign song, as heard on KCAL:
''Out on the horizon,
''A new star is shining.
