And while many people think that "[[Film/{{Rocky}} Gonna Fly Now]]" might be Philadelphia's theme, the actual theme might as well be "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFJ2yoTsBds Move Closer To Your World]]" -- the long-running news theme for [[Creator/{{ABC}} WPVI-TV 6]]'s ''Action News''. Having used it in some form since the 1970s, [[https://youtu.be/Z2A7oo6k4e8?t=12 the theme is played to a fast-cut montage of people and activities from all over the Delaware Valley]], while a ''vocal cut'' (very unusual for news music) is played at the close of newscasts. It's become engrained in the cultural consciousness of the area, so much so that an attempt to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvbj1webD1w change the theme in 1996 to a more symphonic version]] was reverted after 4 days of viewer complaints. A [[https://twitter.com/davebrancosucks/status/1033883985330556928 video mashup of the extended rendition]] to a series of embarrassing and crazy videos of Philly inhabitants went viral in 2018. ''Action News'' itself is often held up as a gold standard for local news, with WPVI having dominated the ratings for decades; the station's talent has seen similar longevity, with lead anchor Jim Gardner assuming the post in 1977, becoming a local celebrity in the decades to come until his retirement in 2023.
