Does anyone have any old TV3 News themes?
There is this VERY short lived theme from 2004/early 2005, courtesy of @theGradyConnell (hope you don’t mind me posting this, Grady!):

Does anyone know the name of the theme Seven News used for a few days in 2014?
It replaced The Mission, and I’m not sure if it exists somewhere in its full duration …

Think this is the closest we got.
Jesus this was a shocking theme.

It wasn’t that bad on its on, but as a news theme it doesn’t really have that sense of urgency.

Easily the worst news theme I’ve ever heard in my lifetime. Thank god common sense prevailed and the Mission theme returned after four days.

cost savings, apparently Kerry Stokes himself intervened.

It’s an old-school/outdated theme to today’s standards but it definitely isn’t bad.

The fact it was being used, in a butchered form, into 2023, was definitely bad.
Someone bought a free stock-music cd in 1999 and GTS/BKN hung onto it with their life til the bitter end.

Composed by the same guy as Best Endeavours (Channel 4 News/ABC The National), would you believe? The Southern Cross piece is called Emergency Service.

Fox footy aired a piano version of their theme for Matt Rendell going to break.

There’s something about the upbeat and punchy 1970s-early 1980s Seven National News theme titled ‘Industry Today’ that sounds so authoritative:
I wonder what a modern rendition would sound like…

I recall hearing that on Victorian radio stations as well.

I loveeee the Seven National News theme. A modernised version of this would go down well today. What they should have done in 2014!
Does anyone have a copy of the alternate version of this that sounds a bit more electronic?
