message: The Electric Light Orchestra's Fire on High was NOT heard on Wide World of Sports, instead it was used as the opening theme for the CBS's Sports Spectacular from 1976 to 1978. Joey Chesnavich 11:25, 7 August 2007
This agrees with my recollection, and with the Fire on High page.  Let's just delete it.  Rsfinn 04:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Charles Fox is credited here with the theme song composition, yet there is no citation. Other sources (IMDb and Television's Greatest Hits, Vol. II liner notes) attribute the theme to Irving Robbin & Jack Shaindlin, with only "series music" attributed to Fox. Which is correct? Was there more than one theme? --2600:1008:B007:EBC6:A8F8:D95B:9513:A92E (talk) 00:42, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
