WWUpdate

Recommended Posts

Here's an overview of video clips (from YouTube and elsewhere) with American news music as heard on TV stations around the world. I cases where many affiliated stations use the same theme (namely in the case of Australia), I've just included some examples.

Sounds like Channel 4 in Yekaterinburg (Russia) switched from Image News to In-Sink:

And from CKND in Winnipeg:

 

1986 Close (using Production Music: Energy from Network Music):

 

1998 Open (using Non-Stop's Total News):

China's state broadcaster CCTV produces a weekly world news magazine called "World Weekly", and uses cuts from several different Gari news themes on the show (bumper: B Package; open: Advantage; close: NewsChannel). Here's the full show from November 2006, right after the US midterm elections.

Here's a clip from Channel 4's Image News era:

That's not a cut of Eyewitness News. The notes aren't right...the last note of the sig goes way too high. but it IS from Gari...the instrumentation is quite Gari-esque.

 

Oh, thanks for clarifying this. I posted an audio clip of this theme on a discussion board several years ago, and the consensus seemed to be that it was a cut from Eyewitness News -- or at least a modified version thereof.

 

Now I'm even more curious about this theme. It was definitely composed by Gari; we also know it was used by MBC (Middle East Broadcasting Center) in the late 1990s.

News Series 2000 Plus Stuff!

On Cable News Night in Hong Kong,

and one from Hong Kong Cable News:

Kinda cool!

I don't want to imagine what Peter Dunn and Don Corsini would make to all of those crappy presentations. About 10,000 graphic changes on Dunn's side and sexing it up with sex news on Corsini's side. Add Nancy Bauer Gonzales on that equation and you'll have a bomb in Asia.

Here's one European TV station that does use Gari's Eyewitness News -- Poland's TV Puls:

BTW, some cuts of POP TV's mystery theme sound very similar, so it may be a custom theme based on EWN.

It would help if I understood what was being said, but that was the LONGEST promo ever. Also, I think that's NG2, has that even debuted in the US yet?

Sky News in the UK used Gari's Great News between 1989 and 1993, and then a slightly updated version of the theme until 1995. You can hear the newer version in this clip:

From 1972, here's the American Forces Vietnam Network (AFVN) in South Vietnam using Neil Diamond's Tap Root Manuscript, many years before WJLA picked it up:

Non-Stop's Broadcast News on CFCN Calgary, 1993: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Eo7y5YbJs

 

Here's the Armed Forces Korea Network (AFKN) in Seoul, South Korea, using the same theme (1996):

Here are various opens used by RTL in Germany from the 1980s until today, including a number of opens w/ various cuts of Power News by Non-Stop and News Line by Gari:
