@newsboyarizona It was performed by the Seattle Symphony... it was almost like a local answer to "The Mission." I have to admit that the cut at the end is a bit stuffy for a newscast. It sounds like it belongs in a ballet. The intro music is incredible, though, and the opening visuals are pretty slick for something that's nearly 20 years old.
@tkaye2 I agree. The orchestration, the decibel level, the arrangement; it feels like I'm watching the CBS Evening News with DAN RATHER. That's how much the music is incredible
I guess the man was one of the radio guys that were uncomfortable on camera (hence the swaying)?

@Kuahmel That's Gary Justice, who was KIRO's lead anchor at the time. He had been on television for over 20 years by this point.

I still say this is the best news theme ever, and it's a sin that nobody is using it.
