Your watching something let's say "Price is Right" and suddenly the TV station or Network interrupts TV programming for a special report about something. What's the scariest special report theme you heard?

 

Me it would be these two

Both have an end of the world cataclysmic feeling to them especially the 1984 one which was broadcasted during the end of the Cold War.

Well those aren't horrible, but I find the NBC one, and the WCBS 880 AM ones to be pretty urgent.

I have actually enjoyed NBC's current "Special Report" music (part four of "The Mission" theme music package and the "Meet the Preess" theme) and CBS' previous theme. You may be surprised to hear these pieces of music after your favorite TV program was interrupted, but you learn to enjoy them if you don't think about them too much.

 

 

ABC's current one is too boring.

 

It also needs a diffrent announcer. May I suggest Bill Rice, ABC's longtime announcer?

NBC's by far.

 

 

Agreed-- it's scary. CBS's former theme was up there, too; but the present one is less scary while still being urgent.

 

Everytime I hear the NBC open and the former CBS theme, I'm taken back to the Kennedy plane crash. :-(

Locally, I choose WITI's. When they do it correctly and break in seamlessly, the music and (sometimes) the

really catch your attention.

What about the scariest "Special Report" slide/graphic? CBS' Bulletin slide from 1963 (when they cut away from "As The World Turns" to report on the Kennedy assassination) as well as ABC's from the '80s come to mind.

fox ain't even scary, its just tabloidish.

 

CBS 1995-2006 Special Report trumphs them all. Don't tell me you don't get an "End-of-the world-apocalypse" kind of felling when it comes on during a program.
