In 1983 , Frank Gari was commissioned by Chicago 's WLS-TV to create a news music package based on the Schifrin theme. WABC in New York picked up the package a year later, and it quickly spread to ABC's other owned-and-operated stations. In 1991 , KABC in Los Angeles became the last ABC-owned station to pick up News Series 2000. The theme has also been used overseas, with Hong Kong Cable News using it from 1993 until 2002. In 1993, Schifrin raised his royalties for using "Cool Hand Luke" and its variations to a level that effectively priced the theme out of the local news market. Gari was then commissioned by WABC to compose a new music package called "." This new package, based slightly on Cool Hand Luke, has been updated several times. EXTERNAL LINK
