qunewsguy 377 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Okay so it's technically production library music, but every time I hear the theme used for Channel 4 News in the UK it catches me off-guard. It's cropped up in the latest Beautyrest mattress ad: https://www.youtube.com/embed/p9KaEoKMt1k Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14565-uk-channel-4-news-theme-used-in-beautyrest-mattress-ad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1684 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sometimes news music from other countries find other unintended uses world wide. One notable example was when BBC America simulcasted BBC World News in the morning they used the ITV news theme.

Samantha 2895 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think they used it in one last year or in 2013 — I certainly remember it, and it caught my attention at the time.

WWUpdate 1292 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Of course, the theme was used by KTSP in Phoenix in the mid-'80s: The music was also used in Australia around that time for The National, a short-lived newscast on the ABC: And in the trailer for the movie Pale Rider: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14565-uk-channel-4-news-theme-used-in-beautyrest-mattress-ad/#findComment-132326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
