I blame Fox. Everything's too hip and slick these days.

 

Meet The Press

http://users.pandora.be/netnewsmusic/nbcm4.rm This is cool. It makes me want to kill a Republican.

 

Discuss music on the news.

Oooh, I like that Primetime Thursday theme from Bill Conti. Kind of reminiscent of his opening theme from The Karate Kid, plus a little bit of the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Hyrule Field theme. That second one sounds like Cinemax softcore porn music.

http://www.geocities.com/netnewsmusic/ Here is the whole site! I happened upon it when I was looking for the old This Week In Baseball closing song, which evidently was also used on ABC.

 

You gotta love The Mission, by the way. I watched the news just for The Mission as a young child. NBC seems to be the best at establishing themselves as being a big deal. Everyone knows that John Williams writes their music and they broadcast from the Rockefeller Center. CBS? Hell if I know.

La Resistance theme music on Anderson Cooper 360

 

EDIT: And CNN counts as network news as they are the Cable News NETWORK
