dpb 36 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Here's something interesting: Today will have a new John Williams composed open on monday. It's probably going to be an incremental change, but still...this is exciting. Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203893404577098730827733806.html "In his office last week, the composer took a break from the sheets of paper splayed across his desk, the theme music to NBC's "Meet the Press." It's a Williams composition that he's been hired to freshen, along with the "Today" opener, which NBC says will debut Jan. 16."

mark 55 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It is exciting, but I hope it's only an incremental change. The beginning of the Today show open in incredible; it says "morning news" in a way only music can. And I love the way it was extended to fit the open a few years back, it just ends perfectly.

24994J 5577 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 New graphics, perhaps? But I must say, the blue, 60th Anniversary graphics from Friday were beautiful (and the theme wasn't half bad, either)!

News24/7 3 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 That blue look looks one heck of a lot like the leaked Look G package... Even the open has the same serif font?

News24/7 3 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nope. It pulls elements directly, such as the live bug. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11684-new-today-open-on-monday/#findComment-70612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpb 36 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 The new Today open did not debut today (it was a special Golden Globes edition of Today that used a special open). But the new Meet the Press theme debuted on the December 18th edition of that program. Changes are very subtle.
