I was thinking more 70’s cop show.

Does anybody know what theme was used on Today from 2012? Featured here

Wish they’d still use this and can’t seem to find any info on it.

This set was very underrated, would still look great today - with a few updates.

Agree. Beautiful set. The 2015 graphics iteration with it also looked great.

Compared to what we have now, how much better was this set 11 years ago.

The new sunrise set reminds me a lot of this iteration of Today. Less reliant on screens but it had a homey feeling that sunrise needs to work on in the performance area. The blue rings in the lighting grid are awesome.

Who else thinks that the current 10 News First theme sounds like a rap song?

What happened to it?

I cleared off my Google Drive a while back and likely cleared this folder as it was probably duplicates of what already existed on sites like YouTube.

Would anyone happen to know the origins of this Eyewitness News theme, which I assume would’ve been used from 1973 until 1978/1979 in Melbourne and Sydney?

Also used in Brisbane even before O changed to Eyewitness News branding.

Yep, the main news theme from the VGTRK Russia-1 channel - although they remixed it further from this not too far before they pressed into Ukraine. :thinking: Interesting to see it… just released on Bandcamp like that at the original time.

From a musical standpoint, it’s great, although its use as a news theme ends up slightly curious as a result; trying to make the headlines almost look more like a drama than it perhaps should (or at least the revised version does). That said, orchestral themes have sorta been a Russian specialty in cases (Vremya’s being the classic example, of course).
