Move Closer to Your World (MCTYW) is a television news music package composed in 1970 by Walt Liss[1] and released by jingle writer Al Ham under his Mayoham Music label.
Since the 1970s, it was considered an anthem for local television news, notably of WPVI-TV in Philadelphia for its Action News broadcasts.[2] An original long version was sung by The Hillside Singers, and a short clip of that vocal version is used by WPVI as part of their closing theme song when extra fill-in time is required. Once a common theme across the United States (especially among other stations using the Action News format), as of 2023, only two U.S. stations currently use the theme or a variant thereof: WPVI-TV, and WNEP-TV in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
