Magnificent get! Someone should mix the return from the break with the throw to the break for a continuous theme clip! Would be great for archival purposes.
For anyone interested here is my attempt at a 5 minute loop of the theme used in this video. Thanks @TV.Cynic 
Edit: If the player above doesnāt work then try here.

Hereās my attempt at editing that theme into something that builds up to the end. Shame no actual ender/opener was broadcast that day

Speaking of 7 News, hereās an incomplete mix of The Mission that The Latest: Seven News used to use as a bed for going into and out of breaks and also as a closer:

Just got an interesting comment on one of my YT videos that I wasnāt aware of before - the source of the theme to TVQ 0ās first full news bulletin āNews Watchā that started in 1974 at 6:30pm to avoid the 6pm news on 7 and 9.
Here is the video of various instances of the theme [audio only]
And the source.

When ITV revived their famous News at Ten bulletin in 2008, the graphics people created a gorgeous look and feel to it, that was (IMO) miles above what the rest of ITV News looked like then:
The theme in particular was fantastic - I think the only thing that could have improved it would have been to use a real orchestra rather than synths. Anyway, it was utterly fantastic, but sadly it lasted less than two years. A new exec at ITV wanted all the bulletins to look the same, and that look had to match that of ITV1 (which at that time was based around the colour yelllow). This is what we ended up with:

Mmm that yellow themed virtual set is atrocious.
Their current theme and set are a lot better.

I prefer the theme they used from 2004 - 2007. That theme was quite punchy.

I wouldnāt mind them adopting that last one - piano version of current - for special events (just with a stronger ending).
Clean version of the opening theme for the Seoul Broadcasting Systemās flagship 8pm bulletin. (Play on YouTube, doesnāt allow embed sorry!)
