Members Sylph Posted December 5, 2010 Members Share Posted December 5, 2010 We already have a thread about TV & film soundtracks, but I wanted to open this one to focus on TV music used for various (news and other) countdowns, opens, closes, promo beds, idents, fanfare and an assortment of ad music. What are some of your favourites? Let me start with Sky. This one is by Adelphoi Music, a group of composers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FDvTzh8Lhk Here is the new one, from May, by David Arnold (but not the James Bond David Arnold, though again a Brit): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1K1MGolQiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2010 And the financial bed, a variation of the previous one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItWIidMaQ24 Plus the BBC countdown, by David Lowe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukGCgLiYtGc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 28, 2010 Members Share Posted December 28, 2010 I love that one too and will actually miss it when the season's over! I think the choice to go with a guys chorus is what makes it unique and gives it a cool edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 2, 2011 Members Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have a strange love for sports themes. My favorite being this version of the old FOX baseball theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li2cuKb_Suo And also, the 70s era NFL Today had a nice bouncy disco theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBKFbc7sRis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted March 7, 2011 Members Share Posted March 7, 2011 Now, see how DRAMATIC and exciting that opening was? That was a time when alot of thought went into opening for any kind of TV show. Then in the 90's we get Will and Grace with 10 seconds of stupid piano music that and eigth grader could have composed, and one shot of the cast with fans blowing on them. Big freakin woo. My favorite of all time for dramatic opening is this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
