Action News Theme Song - Move Closer to Your World (with lyrics)

Sing along to the Action News theme song, "Move Closer to Your World."

[janettemcclelland]

Ladies and gentlemen, please rise. Gentlemen, please remove your hats. Please join us in the singing and playing of the Philadelphia National Anthem.

[Thunderbolt__Siren]

If you live in the Philly area. This song is burned into your brain forever. Been watching since the 2000s as a kid from Norristown.

[TheBitBigBand]

I'm not from Philly but this song is such a jam, killing chord changes.

[ScoopNemeth]

this should be in the Guinness book of world records. 6ABC has used MCTYW since 1972 (for 48 years)...the longest-duration of use of a news theme in a single TV market. Stations across America (even rival Philly stations) keep changing their news theme music and changing their music, but Philly's theme song MCTYW withstood the test of time.

Jim Gardner was the absolute GOAT of Action News!

[DodgerOfZion]

Here after Jim Gardner's final sign off. Thank you for a lifetime of news, Jim!

[Mina-okqm]

If this isn't the kindest song ever

[egarrett]

50 years ago this theme came out and it STILL goes hard, even though Philly is effed up I will always love my city and 6ABC.

[ganginfr]

the fact this isn't on Spotify is a crime

Jim Gardner just retired as of 12/21/2022. This song came out just 7 years before he began hosting Action News. I will always have fond memories of watching Action News and Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, both from childhood and adulthood. Jim, thank you for your service to the greater Philly region in providing local news.

[RonB]

I moved outta Philly in 1996 as a kid. But I forever love this theme song! And Whenever I visit the City... I'll only watch Action News 6 just to hear this jawn!

[tylernicolo]

Why is this song bringing tears to my eyes right now?

[bubskebulba]

This is so aesthetically pleasing. I hope the 70's style catches on in the 20's in the way that the last decade had the 80's vaporwave/mallwave style.

[joeflosion]

Listening in from Huntsville Alabama to honor Jim Gardner's final broadcast tonight. Theres a lot of things about Philly I've grown distant from, but this song always makes me smile and feel nostalgic. Cheers to a great career Jim

I moved out of Philadelphia in 1995 at 10 years old and I still remember every word and note to this song.

[ScottOSaurus]

To this day even as a 22 year old living in Texas but born and raised in Chester county I always hum this to myself from time to time.

[MarkTomczak]

I was today years old when I learned the song of my childhood has BLOODY LYRICS.

[steelydad]

I grew up in Philly, heard the beginning of this theme thousands of times before and during the news and NEVER knew that it was more than a 12 measure musical riff, much less a song with lyrics!

12 people have personally disrespected Jim Gardner

[markbowman]

I'm 44, from outside Hershey, PA and remember as a boy watching 6 ABC Philadelphia with a now prehistoric big Zenith tube TV in the living room with the directional antenna on the rooftop, you turned the dial on the box N, S, W, E, before cable.
