The show opens up with about 15 seconds of CCR's Bad Moon Rising, and the end is overlaid with a genuine wolf howl. Once it fades, Kitty starts talking.
"Good evening, it's ten o'clock Wednesday night and you're to The Midnight Hour, the show that isn't afraid of the dark or the creatures who live there. I'm your host, Kitty Norville, and I hope you'll join me every weekday evening to talk illuminate the supernatural world around us.
"Tonight I'd like to hear from you. Word on the street is that there's been a slight rise in crime, and some of those have been pretty unusual of late. Have you seen anything strange while out at night? What do you have to share with me? The phone lines are open and I'm here to talk."
